Overview
Decommissioning is more than disposal. Birdon helps customers across defence, offshore, maritime and industrial sectors retire maritime, offshore and industrial assets safely, responsibly and commercially, with structured plans that support compliance, material recovery, hazardous waste management and long-term environmental outcomes.
Decommissioning in Action
For over 30 years, Birdon has delivered complex recovery and decommissioning programs requiring safe execution, environmental accountability and dependable outcomes.
OUR APPROACH
Birdon’s decommissioning process is a structured, end-to-end approach designed to manage risk, maximise recovery and minimise environmental impact. Every project follows a clear, auditable pathway from planning through to final disposal.
Engineered Recovery Planning
Asset mapping, risk identification and structured recovery pathways designed to maximise reuse, recycling and material value. Practical decommissioning strategies supporting safe closure, environmental stewardship and future site readiness.
Circular Recovery & Recycling
Components and materials assessed, separated, processed and redirected for reuse, resale, repurposing, or responsible downcycling and recycling to minimise waste and maximise recovery outcomes.
Hazardous Material Management
Safe, compliant handling and disposal of hazardous and contaminated materials in accordance with regulatory and environmental requirements.
Landfill Minimisation
Landfill is treated as a last resort. Birdon consistently diverts the vast majority of materials away from landfill through recovery and recycling.
