Contractors are responsible for means and methods. You should contract with one that does this type of work.
RE: Dismantling of Alumium Dome Roof
In the case of lifting the roof at pieces, will we need to make scaffolding fully under the tank roof while dismantling or it is done another way?
By the way, we have a plan to bring a contractor to do the dismantling, but it will be a disadvantage to us due to many reasons.
If you have a viedo or method statement that explains the process, I will be thankful.

Some of the roofs are made of segments rather than one single piece. You can remove the some of the pie shaped segments prior to removal of the remaining pieces. It will make a series of smaller crane lifts.

Depending on where you are, there may be demolition contractors that can do this fairly efficiently.
RE: Dismantling of Alumium Dome Roof
Dear JStephen, letting the tank fall is not allowed, Due to some constraints, we might not be able to bring a contractor to do the job. That's why we need to make plan B which will be done by our team.
I would like to know which way is the safest, fastest and efficient to disassemble the roof and tank (Cutting by the plates or bolts by grinding, cutting by welding, or undoing the nuts).
Thanks,

I need another alternative in case that taking the whole roof at once is not feasible due to some constraints. What are other applicable ways?

The safest approach is to cut a hole in the side of the tank to allow entry so that a scaffold can be erected.
Support the roof with a scaffold.
Take the roof apart in pie shaped section working back and forth across the tank cover.
