Decommissioning Services
We’ve helped move over 250mW of decommissioned generators and associated gear since 2001. Some of the older non-Tier rated gear moves exceptionally fast in Europe, the Caribbean, and SE Asia where emissions aren’t as limited as in the US. In order to receive the maximum amount for equipment we normally recommend advertising it well in advance of removal, and still in service. In this manner, a potential buyer can have confidence they’re not buying a pig in a poke. Sale prices can actually double.
