Turning “Too Costly” Into Achievable: Decommissioning Success at Ilkeston

Industrial decommissioning of former pipe manufacturing plant in Ilkeston by RVA Group

Not every project that initially appears too costly really is.

When Saint-Gobain PAM UK considered decommissioning its former central melting plant and the adjacent Hallam Plant in Ilkeston, the expectation was that the cost would be prohibitive.

However, following a series of detailed feasibility studies, RVA Group demonstrated quite the opposite. By applying specialist technical knowledge and exploring alternative solutions, RVA enabled the safe deplanting of one of Europe’s largest former pipe manufacturing facilities — at no cost to the site owner.

This project remains a strong example of how technical expertise, commercial awareness and lateral thinking can unlock opportunities in projects that may otherwise feel unachievable.
