Sometimes real property goes from being a capital asset to
an operating expense. Plant closures, changes is business
direction, or mergers and acquisitions can cause a
productive manufacturing plant to become a cost “sink” that
drains resources for maintenance, utility and security. Often
saddled with an enormous “reserve” for land clearance and
environmental remediation costs, these properties sit in
corporate closets without any real chance to get off the
books.
ATS2 will help you move this property off the inventory so
your resources and management attention are directed at
tomorrow not yesterday. Our expertise is focused on the
timely, cost-efficient management of decontamination and
demolition of plant and equipment to bring property to its
best market value. Years of experience in the cleanup and
demolition of buildings across the country have given us
valuable insight into what these projects must cost, as
opposed to what they might cost. We know how to build
and meet project schedules and budgets because that is all
that we do.
