The Project
A compact data center, cleared out completely
In July 2022, Quantum Technology completed a data center decommissioning at 10 Burton Hills Blvd in Nashville, Tennessee for Magnolia Investment Partners, with a thank-you to Avison Young for the introduction.
The data center consisted of approximately 2,000 SF of raised floor, 200 tons of cooling, 200kW of UPS, a 600kW generator and all of the related equipment. Quantum brought all of the equipment back to its warehouses in Shippensburg, PA for refurbishing and resale.
2,000 SFOf raised floor decommissioned
Around 2,000 square feet of raised floor — plus the cooling, UPS and generator beneath it — was decommissioned and recovered for a second life.

A full data center decommission with zero waste
For Lifenet Health, Quantum handled every phase — from electrical shutdown and tag out to rooftop condenser removal and full infrastructure teardown — and sent every material to resale or recycling, generating no waste.
Timeline
2 WeeksAll phases
Result
Zero WasteAll materials resold or recycled
The Project
Every phase, handled by one crew
Lifenet Health is a non-profit global leader in regenerative medicine and the world’s largest provider of allograft bio-implants and organs for transplantation. In July 2022, Quantum completed a full data center decommissioning at its facility in Virginia.
Quantum handled all phases of the project — from electrical shutdown and tag out to freon recovery, rooftop removal of the condenser farm, and the disconnect and removal of all data center infrastructure. Every material was routed to resale or recycling, so the project generated no waste.
100%Of materials resold or recycled
Every material pulled from the facility was re-sold or recycled — no waste was generated on the project.
Scope of Work
All phases of the decommission
A single Quantum crew carried the project from power-down to final removal.
✓Electrical shutdown & tag out
✓Freon recovery
✓Rooftop condenser farm removal
✓Disconnect & removal of all data center infrastructure
In the client’s words
“It was a pleasure working with Jose (Quantum’s foreman) and his team, they were professional and didn’t mind going the extra mile to get the job done in a short timeframe. Thanks again.”
Kevin MurphySenior Project Manager, Lifenet Health
The Outcome
Cleared cleanly, with nothing wasted
The facility was fully decommissioned on a short timeline, with every material put back into use or recycled.
Every phase in-house
From electrical shutdown and tag out through rooftop condenser removal, one crew carried the whole project.
No waste generated
All materials were re-sold or recycled — nothing from the project went to landfill.
Done on a short timeline
The client credited the crew with going the extra mile to complete the work in a short timeframe.

Turning a shuttered data center back into cash
A 72,866-square-foot data center in Dearborn had sat dark since 1997. Quantum decommissioned and resold its infrastructure for Holding Source LLC — recovering several hundred thousand dollars in asset value and clearing the way for redevelopment.

Dearborn, Michigan
Timeline
2 WeeksFull data center decommission
Result
Six-Figure RecoveryHundreds of thousands in asset value
The Challenge
A legacy data center standing in the way of redevelopment
Built by MichCon in 1982 and upgraded in 1994, the 72,866-square-foot data center at 5225 Auto Club Drive was shuttered in 1997. The legacy facility was eventually sold to Holding Source LLC — a major Dearborn developer — with plans to redevelop the property.
Before redevelopment could move forward, the aging infrastructure had to come out: chillers and cooling towers, pad mount transformers, indoor and outdoor switchgear and substations, a generator, ATS’s, pumps, motors, motor controls, UPS systems, PDUs, CRACs and electrical panels. The goal wasn’t just removal — it was recovering as much value as possible for the owner.
Our Approach
Decommission, recover, resell
Quantum’s mission was to create several hundred thousand dollars of cash for Holding Source by decommissioning the data center and reselling its assets. In two weeks, crews removed the full mechanical and electrical plant and routed it into Quantum’s resale pipeline.
The timing played to a strength Quantum had recently built a division around: hard-to-acquire switchgear, electrical panels and pad mount transformers. Post-Covid supply-chain constraints had pushed lead times and prices sky-high, and Quantum stepped in to fill the gap — inventorying recovered equipment across its Shippensburg and Philadelphia warehouses and offering it to companies nationwide at competitive prices, putting infrastructure back into productive use.
72,866 SFData center decommissioned
Built in 1982 and dark since 1997, the 72,866-square-foot facility was fully decommissioned in two weeks — its infrastructure recovered for resale rather than scrapped.
Scope of Work
The full mechanical and electrical plant
Quantum removed and recovered the data center’s complete infrastructure, from cooling to switchgear.
✓Chillers & cooling towers
✓Pad mount transformers
✓Indoor & outdoor switchgear & substations
✓Generator, ATS’s, pumps & motors
✓Motor controls & UPS systems
✓PDUs, CRACs & electrical panels
The Outcome
Cash recovered, redevelopment unlocked
The shuttered facility’s infrastructure was turned into six figures of value for the owner and routed back into productive use.
Several hundred thousand dollars recovered
Quantum’s decommission and resale turned the shuttered data center’s assets into six figures of cash for Holding Source.
Hard-to-source gear back in service
Switchgear, electrical panels and pad mount transformers — items with long post-Covid lead times — were recovered and offered for resale nationwide.
A clear path to redevelopment
With the infrastructure removed, the legacy facility was ready for Holding Source’s redevelopment plans.

Recovering a full electrical infrastructure, ahead of demolition
Before a long-vacant BASF campus in Mount Olive came down to make way for a 600,000 SF distribution center, Quantum purchased and removed the complete electrical infrastructure from four buildings — including an 11,000 lb substation lifted out through the Penthouse roof.
Location
Mount Olive, New Jersey
Timeline
3 WeeksFour-building electrical recovery
Result
Assets RecoveredElectrical infrastructure removed & resold
The Challenge
A 30-year-vacant campus, about to come down
BASF’s five-building Mount Olive campus once housed 3,000 employees. After the company moved its headquarters to East Hanover, the site sat vacant for nearly 30 years — and it’s now being demolished to make way for a 600,000-square-foot distribution center.
Before the buildings came down, the valuable electrical infrastructure inside had to come out. Quantum’s scope spanned four of the buildings: disconnect, rig, remove, and transport the bulk of the equipment — including, most challenging of all, an 11,000-pound substation that had to come out through the roof of the Penthouse.
Our Approach
Purchase, disconnect, rig, recover
Quantum signed a contract with Bromag, the New Jersey demolition company handling the teardown, to purchase and remove the complete electrical infrastructure. Across four buildings, Quantum’s crews disconnected, rigged, and removed the equipment, then transported the bulk of it back to the company’s 200,000-square-foot warehouse.
It’s a model Quantum runs alongside its own demolition and full-scale data center decommissions: working with demo companies and owners to monetize electrical and mechanical assets — buying them, handling the disconnect and removal, then shipping them to its Shippensburg and Philadelphia warehouses to be refurbished and resold. Quantum currently stocks over 80,000 pieces of equipment and has completed well over 4,000 projects.
11,000 lbsSubstation removed through the roof
The most demanding lift of the project: an 11,000-pound substation that Quantum’s crew rigged out through the roof of the Penthouse and transported back to the warehouse.
Scope of Work
From contract to warehouse, handled in-house
Quantum purchased the assets and carried the full recovery itself — disconnect, rigging, removal, and transport across four buildings.
✓Purchase of the electrical assets
✓Disconnect across four buildings
✓Rigging & removal of bulk equipment
✓11,000 lb substation removal through the Penthouse roof
✓Transport to Quantum’s 200,000 SF warehouse
✓Refurbishment & resale on the used market
The Outcome
Infrastructure recovered, not scrapped
The electrical gear came out of four buildings ahead of the teardown and headed back to Quantum’s warehouses for a second life.
