Chimney Dismantling


Chimney Dismantling: Professional Solutions for Safety and Development

In the modern industrial environment, the need to dismantle chimneys often arises. Whether it's due to an outdated structure, modernization of production processes, equipment relocation, or a complete facility reconstruction, SIA Akvilon offers professional and safe chimney dismantling services. Our experience and appropriate equipment guarantee that the work is performed to the highest standard, in compliance with all safety regulations.


When is Chimney Dismantling Necessary?

A chimney is the "respiratory system" of a facility, and its condition is critical for both safety and efficiency. Dismantling may be required in the following cases:

  • Wear and tear or damage to the chimney: Over time, due to atmospheric effects and aggressive flue gases, chimney structures can lose their integrity and become hazardous.
  • Modernization of production or heating systems: When replacing outdated equipment with newer, more efficient models, the existing chimney may not meet the new technical requirements.
  • Reconstruction or demolition of the facility: The chimney may interfere with new construction projects, or its removal may be part of a plan to demolish the entire facility.
  • Equipment relocation: If the location of production equipment is changed, it may be necessary to dismantle a chimney in one place and install it in another.

Our Dismantling Services

We specialize in dismantling large-diameter industrial chimneys, providing a full range of services:

  • Industrial chimney dismantling: We carry out the removal of all types of industrial chimney structures, from lighter metal ones to complex and massive systems.
  • Chimney relocation and re-installation: A unique service that includes dismantling an industrial chimney at one location (point A) and professionally moving it for subsequent installation at a new location (point B). This is a cost-effective solution that allows for the preservation and reuse of valuable engineering structures.

Although we manufacture various types of chimneys, our dismantling services are primarily focused on the large-diameter industrial metal systems that we also use in our own projects. These include chimneys with diameters up to 1500 mm, made of stainless steel, and compliant with EN 1856-1 and EN 1090 standards.


The Dismantling Process: Safety and Efficiency

Chimney dismantling is a complex engineering task that requires precise planning, specialized equipment, and highly qualified specialists. Our work includes:

  • Initial site survey and planning: Engineers assess the chimney's structure, its condition, and the surrounding environment to develop a detailed dismantling plan that minimizes risks.
  • Implementation of safety measures: All occupational safety standards are strictly observed during the work, including securing the hazardous area and using personal protective equipment.
  • Use of specialized equipment: Cranes and other heavy machinery are used for chimney dismantling, along with industrial rope access techniques when necessary.
  • Controlled dismantling: The work is carried out in stages, ensuring the stability of the structure until the final phase of disassembly.
  • Waste management: We ensure the sorting of dismantled structural elements and, where possible, their recycling or proper disposal.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the approximate cost of dismantling? [+]

We cannot provide a single price, as each project is unique. However, to give you a better understanding of what makes up the estimate, the main cost items are: project preparation and engineering calculations, rental of a crane and specialized equipment, the work of certified industrial climbers, and disposal of the dismantled structures. To receive a detailed and binding offer, we invite you to request a free site survey.

How long does chimney dismantling take? [+]

The dismantling of a standard free-standing metal chimney with good access typically takes 1 to 3 working days. For complex industrial sites with limited access or integrated structures, the timeframe is determined individually after a site survey. Before starting work, we always agree on a detailed schedule with the client.

Do you help with obtaining permits? [+]

Yes, this is an important aspect of our service. We help the client navigate regulations and prepare the necessary package of documents. Depending on the specifics of the site, a permit from the building authority or other approvals may be required. Our experience allows us to speed up this process and ensure that all work is carried out in accordance with the law.

Is the dismantling process very noisy and dirty? [+]

Dismantling, like any construction work, involves increased levels of noise and dust. We do everything possible to minimize inconvenience: we schedule the noisiest work at a time that is most convenient for the client, use protective coverings to shield surrounding surfaces, and always perform a thorough cleanup of the area after the work is completed.
