Retiring end-of-life assets for future infrastructure
Our decommissioning services are designed to address complex regulatory, environmental and logistical challenges. Black & Veatch guides clients through a multi-phase approach, delivering tailored solutions for asset retirement that minimize risk and maximize value.
Phase 1: Develop the Plan
Our planning process includes evaluating reuse options, from property resale to repowering or repurposing for renewable energy projects. We conduct cost estimates, lead workshops and assess site-specific factors, helping you choose the best path forward. Our collaborative approach ensures comprehensive plans that align with future objectives. Re-use options may include:
Sale of property or brownfield reuse
Grid stability, renewables, and battery energy storage systems (BESS)
Repowering or new-generation projects
Gas or biomass conversions
Data centers
End-to-end decommissioning for safe, compliant transitions
Our decommissioning services offer clients a streamlined approach to retire, repurpose or demolish assets safely and cost-effectively. From feasibility studies and environmental assessments to demolition and site repurposing, our end-to-end solutions support diverse goals, including grid stability, renewables integration, and property resale. With proprietary tools, regulatory expertise and a vast network of trusted contractors, we provide precise cost estimates and manage every phase with transparency and control. Our in-house environmental services, tailored reuse plans and commitment to safety make us a reliable partner for achieving project goals sustainably.
