Dismantling by design is:
To remove a structure, plant or piece of equipment without the need to maintain its integrity for reuse. Usually associated to live operational areas within confined spaces and difficult to reach places within a plant or structure. The need to maintain the asset’s integrity for reuse is not required, thus allowing alternative methods of dismantling to be utilised; machine operations, mechanical or hot/cold cutting techniques can be utilised to undertake the disinvestment.
