The Foildock Safe Recycling Cycle
The Foildock Team has developed a working process that allows for a full cycle approach, intended to establish a continuous improvement of the operation over the years. Our process, encompassing 320m x 60m dock positioning and high-capacity SPMT transport, encourages our workforce to identify and become passionate about establishing a safe work environment for all. As nobody comes to work to be harmed!
Dock Positioning
Vessel positioning in the 320m x 60m dock using winches and support structures.
Minimal Pumping
Efficient water removal to create a dry environment for shore transfer.
Bow-Stern Sectioning
Cutting the hull into 20m segments starting from the bow for rapid processing.
SPMT Transport
800-1500 ton segments moved via SPMT across a 6% incline to yard floor.
Structural Flattening
Flattening segments for safer internal access and efficient secondary cutting.
Precision Sorting
Organization of scrap by grade, quality, and shape for mill readiness.
Hazardous Disposal
Full cycle recycling and proper disposal of all non-steel hazardous waste.
Mill Logistics
Transport by barge or rail to manufacturers for high-grade steel smelting.
100% Recycled
Completion of the zero-pollution cycle with certifiable industrial outcomes.

A Commitment to Zero-Harm
Our refined methodology is more than just an industrial process; it is a safety mandate. By sectioning vessels into 20m blocks within a stable dry-dock environment and using differential stabilization SPMTs, we remove workers from the dangerous tidal zones associated with traditional beaching.
- 100% Residue Capture Guaranteed
