BOC Gases – Thebarton

Demolition Project Manager: Stan Kapoulitsas
Project Supervisor: David Mortimer

ASGS was contracted to undertake the demolition of redundant infrastructure at BOC Gases’ Thebarton facility. The project demanded technical precision and strict adherence to safety protocols due to the nature of the equipment and materials, particularly the decommissioning of oxygen and nitrogen tanks.

The scope of works included the safe dismantling and demolition of redundant oxygen and nitrogen tanks, with all residual gases managed under strict industry regulations. Once decommissioned, the tanks and associated structures were removed without incident, ensuring the site remained safe at all times.

A major component of the project was the salvage and recycling of approximately 200 tonnes of steel and stainless steel. This careful process not only supported environmental sustainability but also provided cost recovery benefits for the client.

Additionally, ASGS demolished and removed the concrete stands supporting the tanks and completed full site preparation, which included backfilling and the installation of a new concrete pad. The result was a cleared, level, and ready-to-use site for future works.

This project highlighted ASGS’s expertise in handling hazardous materials and delivering efficient, safe demolition outcomes for industrial clients.
