The safety of decommissioning

Decommissioning transmission assets requires a highly controlled and engineered approach to safely remove outdated infrastructure while protecting workers, the environment, and surrounding operational assets. Whether dismantling towers, removing conductors, decommissioning substations, or reinstating former access routes, these projects involve significant challenges such as working at height, handling hazardous or legacy materials, operating in remote locations, and ensuring electrical safety near live systems. Environmental and compliance requirements add further complexity, requiring careful planning to minimise disturbance, manage waste responsibly, and restore land in accordance with regulatory guidelines.

Early engagement

It’s key to understand the potential challenges that transmission projects may face during the critical early stage. Our team of regional temporary works designers and engineers can work alongside you, attending early design meetings and providing support for commercial tenders.

Bespoke designs

We know the design stage is crucial, so our engineers use their experience to create the right scheme to land the project effectively. Our dedicated digital engineering team use the latest technology to help our customers design winning bids, reduce the costs of construction, speed up delivery, improve safety and reduce the full-life cost of infrastructure.

A complete solution

To help minimise the challenges when managing multi-phase, multi-partner projects, we can offer a complete end to end service. So, we can work with you, where you need us or throughout the project, from initial concept through to completion, across all aspects of temporary works.

Delivering tailored solutions that reduce risk and maintain stability during dismantling

Our temporary works solutions provide the stability, access, and safety systems needed to execute decommissioning operations efficiently and safely. We offer engineered temporary support structures, access roads and matting for remote areas, controlled lifting solutions for sequential dismantling, environmental protection systems, and robust fall-prevention and electrical safety measures. By combining specialist products with in-house engineering design and on-site expertise, we deliver tailored solutions that reduce risk, maintain stability during dismantling, and ensure a smooth transition from active infrastructure to safe, cleared ground ready for reinstatement or redevelopment.
