Diesel Generator Decommissioning and Removal

If you're upgrading your power systems, switching to different energy solutions, or retiring an old unit, removing a diesel generator requires careful planning and execution. At Powertech Generators, we specialise in safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible generator decommissioning.

Our Decommissioning Process

Handling generator removal in-house or with a general contractor can be risky. Diesel generators contain hazardous materials and complex systems that need specialised knowledge to handle safely. Our process includes:

  1. Site Assessment

  2. Safety Preparations

  3. Electrical Disconnection

  4. Fuel and Oil Management

  5. Dismantling and Removal

  6. Site Cleanup

Generator Removals and Relocation

We offer generator relocation services for systems ranging from 300 kVA to over 5 MW. Our team handles everything, from dismantling and preparing the generators and silencers for transport to safely disposing of old units, fuel tanks, and hazardous fluids. 

With our extensive experience, we ensure a smooth and safe relocation process, keeping everything compliant and secure.

Environmental Responsibility

Proper handling of diesel fuel, oil, and other potentially harmful materials is a critical part of our service. We're fully aware of all relevant environmental regulations and work with certified facilities to ensure all materials are recycled or disposed of properly.

We also conduct thorough site assessments after removal, including soil testing when necessary, to address any potential contamination from long-term generator use. 

We can also help prepare your site for new power installations, potentially saving you time and money in the long run.
