The challenge
In the space of just eight years, Bayernoil has sold off all of the 108-hectare site that formerly housed its refinery in Ingolstadt. The demolition, restoration and construction preparations were largely financed from the proceeds of the sale. However, before the sale could proceed, a number of 120-meter tall chimneys, 60 above-ground and below-ground tanks, 140 kilometers of pipeline and 50,000 cubic meters of concrete had to be demolished and removed from the site.
