Industrial and commercial heating systems throughout Kenya rely on boilers generating steam and hot water. When facilities upgrade efficiency, change heating sources, or close, boiler removal becomes necessary. Bestcare Facilities Management provides specialized boiler removal services addressing these substantial systems’ unique challenges.
Boiler types vary significantly influencing removal complexity. Fire-tube boilers common in smaller applications differ from water-tube boilers serving large industrial facilities. Electric boilers eliminate combustion systems but present electrical challenges. Our experience across all types ensures appropriate handling.
Asbestos insulation presents the most significant challenge in older boiler removal. Many boilers installed before 2000 contain asbestos insulation requiring certified abatement before disposal. We conduct asbestos testing and coordinate licensed abatement contractors ensuring legal compliance and worker safety.
Boiler size dramatically affects removal complexity. Small packaged boilers might weigh a few tons while large industrial boilers exceed 50 tons. Water-tube boilers with associated drums, headers, and tube bundles require systematic dismantling into transportable sections.
Fuel system removal accompanies boiler disposal. Oil-fired boilers require fuel tank draining and removal. Gas-fired units need gas line disconnection and removal. Coal-fired boilers involve handling residual ash and coal. Each fuel type presents unique environmental considerations.
Environmental compliance extends throughout the process. Boiler water may contain chemical treatment additives requiring proper disposal. Fuel residues need appropriate handling. Refractory materials and insulation require testing for hazardous content.
Chimney and stack removal often accompanies boiler disposal. These substantial structures may extend several stories above buildings requiring specialized dismantling techniques and equipment. Structural engineering may be necessary ensuring safe removal without building damage.
