Senior Project Manager ConstructionFrequently Asked Questions
How do you ensure environmental compliance during industrial asset disposal?
Environmental compliance is our top priority. We manage the entire disposal process in accordance with UK waste legislation, including the Environment Act 2021. AIS VIG Industrial uses licensed waste carriers for all scrap and hazardous materials (such as oils and coolants), providing you with a full audit trail and Waste Transfer Notes (WTNs) to prove that your redundant assets have been disposed of legally and responsibly.
Can you help recover value from redundant machinery during a factory clearance?
Yes. Our “Asset Recovery” service aims to offset the costs of your factory clearance. We evaluate your redundant machinery to determine its resale value on the secondary market. If the equipment is viable, we can manage the professional decommissioning and transport to a buyer or auction house, ensuring you receive the maximum return on your initial investment rather than simply scrapping the asset.
What is 'Broom-Clean' condition in a factory clearance project?
Our Industrial Bio-decontamination and Aseptic Site Remediation services are specifically engineered to meet the high-care standards required by the pharmaceutical, food, and medical technology sectors. Following the removal of all technical assets, we execute rigorous sanitisation protocols to eliminate microbial risks and industrial contaminants, ensuring the facility meets strict sterile environment benchmarks. Our process ensures that the space is returned to a clinically remediated, production-ready state that strictly adheres to the most stringent global hygiene-controlled regulatory standards and site-exit requirements.

The responsiveness and professionalism of the VIG office in managing the project, the crane company and issuing very comprehensive RAMS was extremely helpful in enabling the potentially high risk works to be approved by the safety officers within the end user client at this critically important site. Thanks to you and all your Team for managing the Lift & Shift and Crane Lift works professionally, safely and efficiently. I look forward to undertaking the next stage of works with you all.
