Teardown Solutions

Mechanical

Disassembly

Mechanical disassembly is performed by the EPC company working on the project. They will remove the rotor, nacelle, and any tower sections that need replacing. Once on the ground, RiverCap's operations team will then begin using our own cranes and equipment for mechanical separation of the components, so that they can be loaded safely and efficiently onto our trucks.

Energetic

Felling

We perform energetic felling when cost-saving is a priority. Our demolition experts use strategic cuts and explosives to bring the tower down in a safe and controlled manner – with minimal disruption to landowners and the environment.
