MIWEC performed complete deactivation of a high-volume fulfillment center in the Midwest. The project required removal of material handling equipment (MHE), automation systems, conveyors, structural racking, mezzanines, and IT infrastructure.

Work was staged around active loading zones and staggered crew schedules to avoid interference with final outbound shipments.

• Distribution Center Decommissioning
• Rigging & Equipment Takedown
• Conveyor + automation removal
• Asset Recovery & Scrap Separation
• Lease Restoration & Final Patching

️ Challenge:
Large-scale racking and automation systems integrated into concrete slab.

✅ Solution:
MIWEC crews used anchor point extraction tools and grinding to avoid floor damage.

✅ Solution:
Decommissioning sequenced with IT shutdown protocols and final data retrieval.

Challenge:
Tight deadline with overlapping final fulfillment operations.

✅ Solution:
MIWEC staged night shift crews and worked zone-by-zone with warehouse lead.
