Dismantling Complexity, One Section at a Time
Keyera engaged SUBLATUS to facilitate the complete deconstruction of the former Nevis Gas Plant, located east of Red Deer, Alberta. By leveraging our technical expertise, strategic sequencing, and specialized equipment, we completed the demolition and removal of all above-ground infrastructure, including vessels, buildings, stacks, and processing equipment.
The Numbers
A High-Volume Operation Executed With Precision
This large-scale deconstruction project required careful resource coordination, precise heavy machinery operation, and on-site sequencing across seven distinct zones. Some key figures from the work we performed include:
How We Work
Consistent Execution Across Seven Sections
The Challenge
SUBLATUS was tasked with dismantling a large, aging gas plant while maintaining strict safety controls and environmental compliance. One of the most complex requirements was the safe removal of the incinerator stack, a challenge requiring a non-traditional takedown method due to structural concerns.
Our Approach
The site was divided into seven operational zones to maximize sequencing and maintain efficiency. Our crews used a combination of hydraulic shears, torching, and heavy equipment to safely deconstruct vessels, buildings, and compressors. To fell the incinerator stack, shape charges were used to sever a key anchor cable, allowing for a safe, controlled fall and subsequent demolition.
The Results
Final site work included slab stabilization and sump fill-in to ensure a safe and level grade. After shipping out and disposing of all oversized scrap, processed recyclable materials, and remaining waste, the project was completed on time, under budget, and without incident.
