THERMIC LANCING

 
Elite Dismantling Ltd are specialist thermic lancing contractors.

Many materials such as cast iron, refractory and reinforced concrete are difficult or slow to cut. Elite Dismantling can provide the experience and expertise to resolve these types of cutting problems by carrying out thermic lancing, which is a hot cutting process using an exothermic reaction to generate temperatures in excess of 3000 degrees C. The thermic lancing operation is high speed and can cut through 300mm square cast steel in less than 3 minutes. The thermic lancing process can be used to cut, pierce or bore holes in most ferrous and non ferrous metals. On engineering, demolition, foundry and construction sites pins and shafts can get jammed in their housings, and thermic lancing can be the quickest way to remove them.

The advantages of using the thermic lance as opposed to conventional cutting methods and techniques are mainly due to the speed at which it works and the lack of noise and vibration. Click for details of types of Thermic Lancing Projects undertaken.
