13. Bridge Demolition Works
These projects require meticulous planning as they are usually undertaken around road or railway closures with very tight timescales involving round the clock working.

14. Bridge Demolition Works
PTS Demolition have successfully
completed the demolition of over 30
bridges associated with roads, rivers
and railways.
PTS Demolition have successfully completed the demolition of over 30 bridges associated with roads, rivers and railways. These projects require meticulous planning as they are usually undertaken around road or railway closures with very tight timescales involving round the clock working (usually over weekends). Each project varies however the waste arising (concrete and scrap metal) can be 100% recycled, and, if required, can be reincorporated into the new works.

16. Methanol Plant Deconstruction (Former ICI Billingham)
This project consisted of the partial dismantling of the methanol reformers and associated process equipment for re-erection in Mongolia and the demolition of the discarded sections.
Methanol Plant Deconstruction (former ICI Billingham)
This project was undertaken as a joint venture with Sarens Construction, Part of the Sarens Crane Group.
Consisted of the partial dismantling of the methanol reformers and associated process equipment for re-erection in Mongolia, and the demolition of the discarded sections.
All of the plant was surveyed and matchmarked (both in Chinese and English). The cutting, separations and unbolting of equipment to be transported to Mongolia was carefully planned and executed, and the remaining demolition works undertaken carefully.
In all there was 25,000T of metal on site along with refractory bricks and concrete. 12,000T of high value metal tubes and process equipment was carefully removed and loaded into containers for transportation to Teesport, where it was loaded onto ships and sent to Qingdao in China. Once in China it was loaded onto road transport and driven 2000 miles inland to Mongolia for re-erection. I have no information currently if the recommissioning is complete but suspect it is as we have not heard of any complaints!
