Our Asset Recovery Process

Successful asset recovery requires careful planning, technical expertise, and a commitment to safety from start to finish. IRH manages every stage of the recovery process, helping responsibly dispose of industrial and electrical equipment while minimizing operational disruption and maintaining regulatory compliance.

Site Assessment

Every project begins with a comprehensive site assessment. Our team evaluates equipment, access points, structural considerations, utility connections, environmental requirements, and project objectives to develop the safest and most efficient recovery strategy.

Recovery planning

Careful planning helps reduce risk and keeps projects on schedule. IRH develops customized asset recovery plans that address equipment sequencing, rigging requirements, transportation logistics, permitting, safety procedures, and coordination with facility personnel.

Safe decommissioning

Our experienced crews safely disconnect, dismantle, and remove equipment using established procedures designed to protect personnel and the surrounding infrastructure. We work efficiently to minimize downtime while preparing equipment for transport, resale, recycling, or disposal.

Transportation

Once equipment has been recovered, IRH coordinates secure transportation to its next destination. We provide specialized transportation solutions for oversized and overweight equipment throughout North America.

Recycling and Disposal

When equipment has reached the end of its useful life, we coordinate responsible recycling and disposal solutions whenever practical. Our team helps clients recover value from recyclable materials while ensuring obsolete equipment is managed safely and efficiently. Our team also collects, transports, and stores mineral oil from transformers, breakers, and other electrical equipment, provided we are given Utah Certified DEQ lab results for less than 50 PPM.

Environmental Compliance

Many asset recovery projects involve environmental considerations and industry regulations. IRH works with clients to support environmentally responsible recovery practices and helps ensure projects are completed in accordance with applicable environmental and safety requirements.

Documentation

Clear documentation supports accountability throughout the recovery process. We provide project documentation, equipment inventories, transportation records, and other required reporting to help clients maintain accurate records and support regulatory or internal compliance requirements.
