Whether you're a tenant moving to a new building, a landlord repurposing their space, or a developer assessing their new acquisition—you might be surprised to find out that the data center in your building can actually be an asset even if it has no future as a functional data center. Data centers are full of valuable infrastructure, even though they are traditionally treated as a liability. Iron Flag specializes in extracting that value while also returning the data center back to a blank space.
Unlike general demolition companies, who typically charge a flat fee or time-and-materials rate to tear out infrastructure and haul it away, we approach data center decommissioning as a value transaction. In many cases, the electrical and mechanical systems inside a data center—from switchgear to generators, chillers, salvageable metal infrastructure, and UPS systems—has significant resale or recycling value, which we are able to maximize through our extensive reseller network.
Because we specifically specialize in decommissioning data centers, we excel at at all aspects of this task in terms of safety, efficiency, implementation, and value extraction.
Whether you’re selling a generator on its own or require comprehensive, end-to-end support, Iron Flag can manage the process. In addition to purchasing the generator, we can oversee every aspect of removal and logistics, including electrical and mechanical disconnection, fuel removal, permitting, craning, rigging, and shipping.
If you’ve already arranged those services, no problem—we can simply purchase the generator directly and handle only what’s needed, ensuring a smooth and efficient transaction.
These case studies show how we transformed their space and budget—and how we can do the same for yours.

Because we specialize in both asset recovery and infrastructure decommissioning, we’re uniquely positioned to evaluate the assets for their value upfront. When that value exceeds the total cost of decommissioning, we pass that benefit directly back to the client, often turning what would be a facility closure expense into a revenue-generating outcome.
In some cases, we're able to offer clients more than a 100% credit for the value of their decommissioned equipment, meaning they incur no out-of-pocket cost for the project. This is possible when the recovery value of the electrical infrastructure is high enough to fully offset the cost of demolition, subcontractors, and our services.
Iron Flag was founded in 2012 to raise the bar on asset recovery. With backgrounds in construction, logistics, and power systems, our team built a company around values we didn’t see elsewhere: transparency, ownership, and follow-through, making the entire asset recovery process easy, complete, and competitive.
Today, we bring that same approach to decommissioning electrical infrastructure for developers, utilities, and enterprise clients, including data centers, healthcare systems, manufacturers, telecom providers, and energy facilities across three continents.
We’re real people you can call, text, or meet on-site—no corporate runaround or faceless departments. When you work with Iron Flag, you get straight answers, clear communication, and a team that’s as invested in the outcome as you are.
In order to do the absolute best job we can do, we'll visit your site in person, come up with a plan of action, and submit a full proposal, cost free. It's as simple as that.
