Data Centers don't have to cost money to remove

Liability Or Unrealized Asset?

Unlike most demolition companies, we don't treat your equipment as just scrap. Iron Flag is able to extract the value out of your equipment by using our global network of used equipment buyers—vastly reducing the cost of your project, and in many cases exceeding it, allowing us to pay you.

You Built a Data Center, Now You're on the Hook to Remove It.

It's time to move out of your facility, and your lease requires you to bring the space back to its original state. The building is full of electrical infrastructure including generators, raised flooring, wires, batteries, CRAC units, PDUs, endless cable, and even hazardous waste. 

You need an expert who can get this done quickly, affordably, and without missing.  

These are your options:

Most people choose the first two options, simply because they don't know any better. There’s a smarter way, one that protects your budget and recovers your equipment's value.

Pay to walk away
Often, leases have a "walk away" clause, possibly the easiest option, but also the most expensive. A walk-away fee can be six or seven figures large and results in leaving all the valuable assets behind.
Hire a demolition company
While cheaper than walking away, demo projects also have extremely high costs and rarely recognize the value of any of the equipment in your facility.
Utilize Iron Flag's Asset Recovery Method
A lot of your infrastructure still has life on the second-hand market, and we tap into our global network to sell your data center equipment at top dollar. Then, we apply the value of this equipment toward the cost of the project. The value of your reclaimed assets can offset or even exceed the expense of the decommissioning process.  

Because we specialize in decommissioning data centers, we have an efficient, refined process and stick to tight timelines. We offer a turnkey service and coordinate all contractors, shipping, disposal, permits, certificates, and project management.

Here's How Our Asset Recovery Model Works

Our model is simple: we evaluate the assets, give you a hard number, pay 75% before we break ground and the remaining 25% on delivery.

Our bids are firm. If we get it wrong, that's on us, not on your budget. You get a clean contract and a check.

We resell, recycle, or repurpose through our established network, keeping equipment in circulation and waste out of landfills.
