Dilapidation Claims and Physical Yieldback Obligations in Industrial Leases
Proactive floor slab core-drilling, envelope maintenance, and Section 18 valuation caps reduce industrial lease dilapidations settlements by up to sixty percent.
High Bay Racking Removal
Meaning
Decommissioning process involving the dismantling and extraction of vertical storage systems that extend beyond the reach of standard forklift equipment. High bay racking removal requires specialized access machinery and a strict safety protocol to prevent the collapse of the structure during disassembly. It is a major component of an industrial lease exit.
System Deconstruction
Dismantling starts from the top levels and moves downward to maintain the stability of the remaining frame. During high bay racking removal, contractors must secure each horizontal beam before the vertical uprights are loosened. The height of these systems often exceeds ten metres, requiring the use of cherry pickers or scissor lifts.
This work is hazardous.
Site Reinstatement
Extraction of the floor bolts is the final stage of the process once the steel is cleared. High bay racking removal is not complete until the holes in the concrete slab are filled with an appropriate resin and ground smooth. Failure to repair the floor to the original standard results in a claim for damages by the landlord.
Logistics Complexity
Management of the scrap metal and the transport of long components requires a clear area for loading. High bay racking removal generates a large volume of heavy material. This must be recycled.
