What is Decommissioning and Site Closure Support Services?
Decommissioning and site closure support refers to the structured, systematic process of planning, executing, and documenting the shutdown of industrial, commercial, or energy-related facilities, followed by site remediation and potential redevelopment or rehabilitation.
This process typically includes:
- Shutdown and dismantling of infrastructure
- Hazardous material identification and disposal
- Soil and groundwater remediation
- Waste management
- Regulatory reporting and permitting
- Stakeholder engagement and communication
- Post-closure monitoring and land reuse planning
The aim is to return the site to a safe, stable, and compliant state—either for redevelopment, conservation, or long-term closure.
