Midwest Steel razed this Regnerator/Reactor Structure using gravity and inertia instead of cranes or explosives to topple the huge 800-ton structure. The Midwest Steel crew can now safely demolish the structure at ground level using our portable hydraulic shears and cutting torches. Work will continue until the FCCU Unit is completely removed so new construction can begin in this Gulf Coast Refinery.
Midwest Steel crews use the controlled collapse technique to dismantle a tall structure inside an operating refinery on the Gulf Coast. This methodology perfected by Midwest Steel over 5 decades not only accelerates production but also reduces exposure to working from heights and prevents crane accidents.
Midwest Steel demonstrates the use of a Thermal Lance, also known as a Burning Bar operating at temperatures from 4,950 degrees to 8,130 degrees farenheit to perform heavy-duty demolition on a recent refinery dismantling project.
Demolition of this boiler in an acid plant illustrates how Midwest Steel uses portable hydraulic shears to safely perform a dangerous task. Midwest Steel pioneered the use of hydraulic shears in the 1960’s when they were originally suspended from cable cranes.

Midwest Steel uses a controlled collapse technique to demolish this large structure in a Texas paper mill. After preparing the structure, all workers are moved outside the demolition exclusion zone so the structure can be felled in a safe and systematic manner with minimal assistance from heavy equipment.
