Decommissioning & Facility Closure

Decommissioning programs are constantly challenged by the need to create the right balance between cost reduction, environmental liability, and property reuse. In collaboration with our clients, O’Brien & Gere utilizes a proven 360º SureClose™ Decommissioning Process™ to identify key elements necessary for a successful demolition project. 

O’Brien & Gere addresses such critical issues and challenges as determining end-use alternatives, preparing for mothballing or demolition, reducing environmental concerns and liabilities, utility reroute or cut/cap design, combining clean-up and redevelopment activities, and maintaining the role of a good corporate citizen.
