Power Generation

Demolition, dismantling and decommissioning experience for complex power generation facilities.

Power Generation Experience

Built for the Complexity of Power Facilities.

30,000+ MW Of Power-Sector Experience

Power generation projects involve more than removing structures. Plant configuration, operating conditions, environmental requirements, equipment value, project sequencing and future site plans can all influence how demolition and decommissioning work is approached.

NADC brings decades of experience working across power generation facilities, supporting plant retirements, dismantling, selective and total demolition, environmental work and asset recovery.

What Drives a Power Project

Power Projects Are Shaped by More Than the Structures.

01

Operating Conditions

Work may need to be coordinated around active systems, adjacent facilities, utilities and areas that remain operational.

02

Sequencing & Schedule

Demolition sequencing, shutdown requirements, access and future construction plans can determine how the work is approached.

03

Environmental Requirements

Hazardous materials, regulated waste, contaminated systems and site-specific environmental conditions must be incorporated into project planning.

04

Asset Recovery & Site Future

Equipment value, scrap recovery and the owner’s plans for redevelopment or reuse can influence both the demolition strategy and overall project economics.

Where Power Experience Shows

From Generating Units to Specialty Structures.

Power generation facilities bring together some of the most substantial structures and systems found in the industrial sector. NADC’s experience spans complete generating stations as well as the individual buildings, equipment and infrastructure that support plant operations.

Our project experience includes:
  • Coal-Fired Generating Stations
  • Natural Gas Facilities
  • Boiler Houses
  • Turbine Buildings
  • Cooling Towers
  • Stacks & Chimneys
  • Conveyors & Material-Handling Systems
  • Ash Handling Systems
  • Tanks & Auxiliary Structures
  • Balance-of-Plant Infrastructure

When the Facility Changes

What Stays. What Goes. What Comes Next.

Power generation facilities transition for many reasons, and the demolition strategy should reflect what the owner needs the site to become. Some facilities are fully retired, while others require targeted removal to support continued operations, new generation technology or future redevelopment.

Full Plant Retirement

Complete decommissioning and removal of generating units, structures, equipment and supporting infrastructure to prepare the site for its next use.

Partial Decommissioning

Selective removal of specific units, buildings, equipment or systems while other portions of the facility remain in place.

Repowering & Facility Transition

Removal of outdated structures and systems to make way for new generation technology, equipment upgrades or changes in plant operations.

Site Redevelopment

Demolition and site preparation that positions a retired power property for future industrial, commercial, energy-related or other redevelopment.

Before Demolition Begins

The Right Decisions Start Long Before the First Piece Comes Down.

Early decisions can have a significant impact on the cost, sequencing and overall direction of a power generation project. Defining the scope, understanding what can be recovered and establishing the condition the site needs to be left in can help reduce uncertainty before demolition begins.

Bringing demolition experience into the conversation early gives owners and project teams an opportunity to evaluate options, identify potential unknowns and develop a clearer path forward.

What Actually Needs to Come Out?

Determining what will be removed, what will remain and how adjacent structures or systems must be protected helps establish the true demolition scope.

Where Can Value Be Recovered?

Equipment, metals and other recoverable assets can influence project economics and should be evaluated before demolition and dismantling activities begin.

What Condition Does the Site Need to Be Left In?

Future construction, redevelopment or continued operations can determine the extent of demolition, foundation removal, grading and final site preparation required.

Power Experience in Action

Built on Projects That Demand More.

Power generation projects require planning, precision and experience from start to finish. These projects show how NADC approaches complex scopes across power generation facilities.

Kapolei, Hawaii

NADC completed total demolition, debris removal and site work for a former coal-fired power plant on Oahu. The project extended beyond the plant proper to include dismantling a 1.6-mile overland conveyor and a continuous ship unloader, requiring coordinated execution across plant and harbor environments.

Ready for What’s Next.

Every power generation project starts with a different set of conditions, priorities and plans for the site. Whether the facility is being retired, partially decommissioned, repowered or prepared for redevelopment, NADC brings the experience to help define the path forward.
