Abstract:
Cutting concrete in tight or inaccessible locations, or when the concrete is very hard or heavily reinforced, can be accomplished with the thermal lance, This technique uses burning oxygen and a pipe packed with steel wire to perforate even the strongest concrete. The thermal lance has been used in Roland with great success.*
