Demolition of Temporary Truss
Thermal lance cutting involves a high-temperature tool that utilizes oxygen and iron rods, generating extreme heat to melt and sever tough materials like metal. The exothermic reaction forms a molten slag, enabling efficient and precise cutting through industrial materials, particularly in demolition, construction, and metalwork.
