At RVA Group, we believe our primary function is the management and safe delivery of decommissioning, dismantling and demolition projects. For 35 years, across more than 1,100 projects, we have remained committed to this non-negotiable philosophy. It is the foundation of our success and the security of our future.
In today’s world of big business and big consequences, we recognise that our clients need more from us – and rightly so. Large-scale, complex decommissioning projects present numerous direct and indirect challenges, from technical and operational considerations to commercial, contractual and reputational risks. RVA is ideally placed to meet these challenges head-on.
Every asset owner has a responsibility to its shareholders to secure contracts at what is considered the ‘best price’. Our role is to ensure that this also represents ‘best value’, with safety, environmental, and health considerations at the forefront, alongside confidence in successful project delivery. Every decision has consequences, and the right expertise and independent advice can make a significant difference to the outcome.
Technical expertise is essential when selecting specialist partners. However, RVA offers something more: the collective strength of approximately 200 years of decommissioning experience within our in-house team. This depth of knowledge brings additional insight, informed decision-making and value to the projects we manage.
Looking back through our project portfolio, the demolition of Rugeley Power Station provides a fitting example of how complex industrial-scale challenges can be compounded by circumstances beyond a project’s control.
The project involved the challenges of large-scale asbestos removal and the demolition of complex structures, many of which required explosive demolition techniques. These demands were further complicated by the unprecedented disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite the additional challenges, the project demonstrates the importance of experienced project management, robust planning, technical expertise and a steadfast commitment to safe delivery.
Difficult – YES! Demanding – YES! Delivered – YES!
At RVA Group, our focus remains on helping clients navigate complex decommissioning and demolition challenges with the experience, judgement and commitment needed to deliver safely and effectively.
