What Is the Pulp & Paper Industry?
The pulp and paper industry includes companies that process wood and other fiber-based materials into paper, packaging products, pulp, tissue, and a wide range of cellulose-based products.
When pulp and paper facilities reach the end of their operational life, they often require specialized demolition, dismantling, asset recovery, and site-clearing services. These projects can involve complex production equipment, large industrial structures, and environmental considerations that demand experienced professionals.
Industrial Demolition & Asset Recovery for Pulp & Paper Facilities
For nearly 50 years, Louisiana Chemical Dismantling Co. (LCDC) has provided comprehensive industrial dismantling, demolition, equipment removal, and asset recovery services for manufacturers across North America.
Pulp and paper facilities present unique challenges due to their extensive process equipment, material handling systems, utilities, tanks, piping, and potential environmental hazards. LCDC has the expertise, personnel, and resources to safely manage these complex projects from start to finish.
Our team includes experienced civil, structural, electrical, and safety professionals who receive ongoing training to stay current with industry standards, regulations, and best practices. This commitment allows us to execute projects safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption.
