PROJECT

Our Projects Portfolio

Projects demonstrate the practical application of our demolition, remediation, scrapping, and heavy equipment services. We Buy Scrap LLC has completed a variety of engagements since 2017, including oilfield pad decommissioning, selective structural demolition, contaminated soil remediation, and heavy equipment dismantling. Below, we provide representative project summaries that illustrate our capabilities, approach, and outcomes. Each summary underscores our focus on safety, environmental compliance, and cost-effective solutions.

Project 1: Oilfield Pad Decommissioning and Well P&A

Scope and Challenges:

An operator required decommissioning of a 5-pad production lease with three inactive wells and multiple tanks and flowlines. Historical leaks were suspected, and landowner access required coordination. The project included well plugging, removal of surface equipment, excavation of hydrocarbon-impacted soils, and site restoration.

Approach:

  • Conducted site assessment and sampling to delineate impacted soils around tank batteries.
  • Coordinated licensed well-plugging contractors to execute P&A activities following state protocols.
  • Defueled and cleaned tanks; removed piping and separators for salvage; segregated contaminated materials.
  • Excavated impacted soils, staged for disposal, and transported to permitted facilities; applied dust suppression and erosion controls during operations.

Outcome:

All three wells were plugged and abandoned with paperwork filed with the state regulator. Contaminated soils were removed and disposed of properly, and reclaimed pads were graded and reseeded. Salvage recovery offset a portion of project costs, and final regulatory acceptance was achieved.

Project 2: Industrial Plant Selective Demolition & Equipment Removal

Scope and Challenges:

A manufacturing facility required selective demolition to remove outdated production lines while preserving building shell for tenant retrofit. The work required careful sequencing to avoid damage to retained structures and to maintain site operations in adjacent areas.

Approach:

- Performed hazardous materials survey and identified lead-based paint and minor asbestos that required abatement before demolition.

- Executed selective interior demolition using mechanical and manual methods to protect structural integrity.

- Disassembled large process equipment in modular sections and used cranes for removal; arranged heavy-haul transport for relocated machinery.

Outcome:

The selective demolition was completed on schedule with minimal disruption to adjacent operations. Decontamination and salvage planning permitted the reuse of several pieces of equipment, and the client saved capital in replacement costs for the retrofit.

Project 3: Commercial Building Full Demolition and Lot Redevelopment

Scope and Challenges:

A downtown commercial property required full demolition in a constrained site adjacent to active businesses and utilities. Noise and dust mitigation were essential.

Approach:

  • Developed a site-specific demolition plan with traffic management, vibration monitoring, and dust control.
  • Conducted asbestos abatement prior to main demolition.
  • Performed staged structural dismantling, using shears and cranes, with continuous perimeter protection.

Outcome:

The building was removed with no damage to adjacent structures and within the planned two-week schedule. Recovered metals were recycled, salvage credits were reconciled, and the lot was prepared for redevelopment.

Project 4: Contaminated Soil Remediation for Lease Termination

Scope and Challenges:

A leaseholder exiting a property had legacy hydrocarbon contamination requiring soil remediation to meet landlord and regulatory standards.

Approach:

  • Soil sampling defined the lateral and vertical extent of contamination.
  • Implemented targeted excavation and removal; used lined staging areas to prevent cross-contamination.
  • Coordinated transportation and disposal with permitted waste facilities.

Outcome:

Verification sampling confirmed cleanup goals were met. The area was backfilled with clean material, and the landlord accepted the site for redevelopment. Complete manifests and reports were provided to the client.

Project 5: Heavy Equipment Dismantling & Transport for Asset Recovery

Scope and Challenges:

A compressor station required removal of multiple large compressors and tanks for relocation and resale. Loads exceeded standard axle and height limits.

Approach:

  • Performed heavy rigging plan and lift sequence; used cranes for modular disassembly.
  • Drained fluids and performed cleaning to meet transporter acceptance criteria.
  • Secured oversize permits and arranged pilot vehicles for interstate transport.

Outcome:

Equipment was dismantled, transported, and delivered to a buyer with minimal downtime. The client retained a significant portion of asset value and reduced net removal costs.

Project Management Practices and Documentation

Across all projects, We Buy Scrap LLC emphasizes:

Clear scope definitions and change control to reduce misunderstandings.

Daily safety briefings and on-site documentation of inspections and incidents.

Detailed waste tracking with manifests and disposal receipts.

Final project packages that include photos, sampling reports, and regulatory submission copies.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you provide references or detailed project reports?

    Yes. Upon request and with client permission, we can provide references and deliver redacted project summaries or detailed close-out reports.


  • How do you manage unforeseen contamination discovered mid-project?

    We immediately halt non-essential work, secure the area, sample to define the extent, and present a remediation plan and cost options to the client before proceeding.


  • Can you handle multi-site programs?

    Yes. We support portfolio decommissioning programs with coordinated logistics, scheduling, and standardized reporting across multiple sites.
