We take the world’s most complex industrial assets apart — safely, in the order they were built, and with the value they still hold intact. Live plants. High-consequence structures. Programmes where improvisation is not an available option.
DDMS Global — Demigod Dis-Mantling — is an industrial dismantling, decommissioning and asset-recovery contractor. We work inside operating plants, on high-consequence structures and against programmes where failure is not an option that can be absorbed.
Most demolition contractors sell removal. We sell control. The difference shows up in the questions we ask before mobilisation: how does this structure actually carry load in its current, corroded, twice-modified condition — not as designed. What does the drawing set fail to record. Where does the sequence become unstable, and what temporary works are needed before that point. Which components have a second life worth protecting, and which grades of material will be destroyed the moment they are mixed.
That discipline exists because of where we work. A significant share of our scope is executed adjacent to live production — inside refinery boundaries, alongside energised switchgear, thirty metres from a running kiln line, above an operating dry dock. In those environments the method statement is not a compliance artefact. It is the reason the plant beside you is still producing at the end of the shift.

Continuous execution in heavy industrial environments since 2008
From front-end feasibility through execution to regulatory close-out — delivered as a single programme rather than a chain of interfaces where accountability goes to die.
Six operating principles that separate an engineered dismantling programme from a demolition quote — and that clients tell us they only recognise the value of afterwards.
01 / 06Engineering in-house
Method statements, temporary works, lift plans and load-path analysis are produced by our own engineers. When a site finds something the survey missed, the person who wrote the sequence is reachable that hour — not the following week through a subcontract chain.

Structural, lift and process engineering under our own roof
Sixty-five metres of reach. Seven hundred and fifty tonnes of lift. One method.
- 65 m
- Maximum working height by high-reach machine
- 750 t
- Lift capacity accessed through project partners
- 18,400 t
- Largest single dismantling package delivered
- 11
- Countries mobilised across
Each stage has a defined output and a hold point. Nothing advances until the evidence the next stage depends on actually exists.
Stage 01
Site Survey & Asset Assessment
A full physical survey of the structure, the process and the environment around them. We record actual condition rather than designed condition — corrosion, undocumented modification, residual contents, contaminated ground — and reconcile it against the client's drawing set, which on legacy plant is very often out of date.
Stage outputs
- Condition and dimensional survey
- Hazard and inventory register
- Recovery valuation
- Access and constraint mapping
01Live plants, energised switchyards, operating dry docks and fixed handover dates. The engineering is what made these deliverable.
Every sector brings its own constraint — permit throughput, energised equipment, corrosion uncertainty, fixed handover dates. The method adapts. The discipline does not.
Plant is mobilised against the engineered sequence. Where the right machine is not ours, we bring in the right machine rather than bending the method to fit the yard.
Primary Demolition
High-Reach Demolition Excavators
Ultra-long-front machines that take structures down from the top without ever putting a person under the load.
- Maximum working height
- 65 m
- Operating weight class
- 35 – 130 t
- Front assemblies
- Shear · pulveriser · grapple · breaker
- Cab protection
- FOPS/ROPS with tilting cab and screen guards
Dismantling is the most material-intensive activity in heavy industry — and the single largest opportunity in it. A retired plant is not waste. It is several thousand tonnes of steel, alloy, copper and aggregate that already exists, already carries its embodied carbon, and needs only to be separated properly to re-enter the economy.
The result is a 94% average diversion rate from landfill, verifiable against weighbridge records rather than asserted in a report — and a materially lower carbon outcome than the demolish-and-replace path, because the lowest-carbon tonne of steel is the tonne that never has to be made again.
340 t
refractory recovered for direct client reuse on one programme
Reuse before recycling
Assets and structural sections with genuine second-life value are identified at survey and preserved through dismantling rather than defaulted into the melt stream. Reuse retains embodied carbon that recycling releases.
94%
average diversion from landfill across all programmes
Segregation at source
Ferrous, non-ferrous, alloy grades, cable and non-recoverable streams are separated at the work front into designated containment. Once mixed, recovery value does not come back at any price.
~190
haulage movements removed on a single clearance project
On-site material loops
Concrete arisings crushed and screened on site to certified graded aggregate for piling mats, haul roads and backfill — eliminating both outbound haulage and imported fill.
100%
of consignments to licence-verified outlets
Verified downstream routing
Material is consigned only to facilities whose permits we have checked and recorded. Chain of custody is documented from work front to receiving gate.
Four operating offices in India, a Gulf liaison desk and a verified partner network covering craneage, licensed specialists, downstream outlets and international freight.

Where the engineering meets the structure.
“They found a load path in our crane rail structure that none of our drawings showed, two weeks before we would have started demolishing on the assumption it was not there. That single piece of survey work justified the whole engagement.”
Written by the engineers who executed the work, published when there is something worth saying.
Send us the structure. We will send back a method.
Survey-led, engineered and costed from first principles — with an honest view of what the material is worth before anyone discusses price.
