      It's quite easy. Basically it's the installation process in reverse. It takes about 3 days to remove the structure above ground. The foundation is not normally removed below 1m in depth but if needed it can be broken up and recycled as a sub-base in roads. It's really not that difficult or expensive. We have to put a decommissioning bond in with the Council to ensure we remove it at the end of the life and if we don't they use the bond to remove it.
