Launching RVA’s Decommissioning & Demolition Training: Built on 33 Years of Expertise

RVA’s Engineering Consultancy Director takes a break with the client’s decommissioning project management team at SWEC Desalination Plant, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

When it comes to retiring industrial assets, there’s no second chance to get it right. Every decision can impact safety, cost, compliance and reputation.

That’s why RVA Group is proud to introduce its specialist Decommissioning & Demolition Training Programme — designed specifically for operators and asset owners who want to approach decommissioning with confidence.

This initiative draws on 33 years of hands-on experience, during which RVA has successfully delivered more than 1,000 projects in hazardous environments, including the dismantling of large-scale and complex production assets. Our experience spans sectors such as petrochemical, pharmaceutical, power generation, nuclear and industrial manufacturing — each with its own safety-critical challenges.

Why this training matters

Decommissioning and demolition are highly engineered activities that demand rigorous planning, effective risk management, regulatory compliance, cost and schedule optimisation, and clear stakeholder engagement.

RVA’s training programme transfers real-world lessons learned into practical, actionable knowledge. Whether preparing for a single asset retirement or a full site clearance, the training equips teams with the tools needed to make informed decisions and avoid costly missteps.

What you’ll gain

  • Guidance on building the right decommissioning project team
  • Support in preparing assets for safe and efficient decommissioning
  • Insight into hazard identification and mitigation
  • Strategies for contractor selection and robust project governance

The training packages are tailored for asset owners planning lifecycle transitions, operators responsible for plant safety and compliance, and project managers overseeing dismantling and demolition activities.

At RVA, knowledge sharing is fundamental to raising industry standards. This training is not only about technical competence, but about embedding a culture of safety, sustainability and collaboration.
