Industrial equipment isn’t meant to last forever in one place or one form. Whether you’re planning a facility relocation, upgrading legacy systems, or preparing for end-of-life decommissioning, there comes a point when professional dismantling and reinstallation (D&R) services are essential.

At APS Industrial Services, we provide full-scale D&R support that includes mechanical disassembly, rigging, transport coordination, reinstallation, and alignment, which ensures minimal disruption and maximum protection for your assets.

But how do you know when it’s time to dismantle?

What Are D&R Services?

D&R services refer to the professional Disassembly and Reinstallation of industrial equipment. This typically includes:

• Mechanical disassembly and labeling of components

• Rigging and crating for transport

• Secure removal and relocation

• Reassembly, realignment, and functional testing

• Documentation and compliance for safety or audit requirements

Our millwrights, riggers, and technicians coordinate the entire lifecycle of the equipment move to prevent costly downtime, damage, or safety violations.

Signs It’s Time for Dismantling and Reinstallation

1. Facility Relocation or Expansion

If your business is relocating to a new site or expanding operations into another wing or building, professional D&R services are the safest way to ensure your equipment survives the move intact.

We manage:

• Full mechanical disassembly

• Lifting and rigging heavy machinery

• Custom crating and skidding

• Safe transit and reinstallation with precision alignment

---

2. Major Equipment Upgrades or Retrofits

When you’re replacing outdated motors, upgrading control systems, or modifying the mechanical structure, you’ll often need to partially or fully dismantle equipment to access internal components or install new integrations.

D&R services make these upgrades efficient and safe by:

• Carefully deconstructing systems for minimal disruption

• Preparing components for upgrade kits or new technology

• Reassembling with OEM tolerances and alignment standards

---

3. Structural or Facility Modifications

Changing your facility layout? Raising ceilings, installing new flooring, or expanding utilities may require equipment to be moved, even temporarily.

Professional D&R ensures:

• Fast removal and safe storage of sensitive machinery

• Compliance with OSHA and building codes during construction

• Seamless reinstallation to original specs post-construction

---

4. Major Repairs or Rebuilds

In some cases, complex equipment like gearboxes, turbines, or CNC machines require off-site repair or rebuilding. These aren’t jobs for in-house staff with basic tools.

Our D&R services support:

• Mechanical teardown and inspection

• Component isolation for shipment to rebuild centers

• Coordinated reinstall with realignment and calibration

---

5. End-of-Life or Decommissioning

Retiring an asset? Dismantling and properly disposing of obsolete machinery requires skill, documentation, and safety measures to avoid liability and damage.

We handle:

• Secure disconnection of electrical and hydraulic systems

• Hazardous material handling (coolants, oils, etc.)

• Equipment removal for scrap, resale, or recycling

• Final walkthroughs for compliance reporting
