Disconnect Planning Before Dismantling
Double D Mechanical reviews the booth connections before removal begins, including electrical service, lighting, controls, gas piping, compressed air, exhaust fans, make-up air and fire protection interfaces. Clear isolation planning helps protect nearby equipment and active production.
- Identify shared utilities before shutdown.
- Confirm which systems must remain active nearby.
- Mark control panels, valves and disconnect points.
Panels, Doors and Plenum Handling
Booth components should be removed in an order that accounts for weight, access, fasteners, overhead work and laydown space. Doors, ceiling sections, wall panels, plenums, grates and lights may each require different handling and staging.
Ductwork, Fans and Openings
Exhaust ductwork and fans often extend beyond the booth footprint into the roof or exterior wall. Removal planning should include support points, roof access, weather protection, wall or roof openings and any remaining utility stubs.
Area Turnover Considerations
After removal, the facility may need clear floor space, capped connections, protected penetrations or access for other trades. Photos, drawings, ceiling height, door dimensions and production restrictions help define how the area should be left.
