Decommissioning of an instrument engineering industry particularly as the case is in power plants involves the retaining of the environment to its original position. Though it might seem to be straightforward but it is not so and requires lot of efforts and conformance to the set standards of the industry.
Decommissioning needs to be done according to the standards, which have been time, tested over the years. Especially if the decommissioning of a power plant is involved than the difference between right and wrong my be a deciding factor in the matter of life and death of the thousands or even millions of people of the locality in which the industry is based.
The project management of Decommissioning can involve a lot of cost for recovering the environment to its natural state. Safeguarding Ecology in some cases is not only difficult but can become a nightmare to mange. Whether it is industrial decommissioning or any other type of it, it is mandatory by law and even more restrictions are put in place nowadays to ensure that. So if any industrialist has decided to go for a venture of such nature which would eventually result requiring a decommissioning then he should not only consider the financial, ethical and moral implications but also the negative effect on the company’s name and its brand names if the company is unable to restore the environment in a decommissioning process.
