Our Railcar Derailment Demolition Process
On-Site Initial Inspection
Our team conducts a thorough assessment of the railcars involved in derailments to determine recycling opportunities. We identify materials suitable for recycling while ensuring all safety standards are met.
Cleaning, Purging, & Certification
We work alongside contractors to safely dispose of hazardous materials, ensuring environmental protocols are followed. Railcars are then certified empty, clean, and ready for recycling.Â
On-Site Dismantling
Critical components are removed and sorted carefully, maximizing the railcar’s value by preparing materials for efficient recycling. This process reduces waste and optimizes the scrap value of the railcar.
Cutting, Shredding, & Sorting
At the site, the metal body of the railcar is divided into sections, which are then cut into smaller pieces and passed through shredders, creating scrap metal fragments.
Recycling & Repurposing
Recovered railcar materials are then melted down and brought back to life in new products, such as construction materials, machinery, or even new railcars.
Payment & Finalization
Once the recycling process is complete, payments are finalized based on the net weight and scrap value of the materials that are recovered.
