Gas Cutting at Dominion House Cardiff

Gas Cutting

Refurbishment works at Dominion House continue with the removal of the North staircase. Each of the steps are to be cut out using a gas torch. The process is called gas cutting and is similar in principle to welding.

Debris netting is used for the protection of personnel below.

Gas cutting in progress.  Each pair of treads are cut and removed from the top down.  Personal protective clothing is worn by the operators, who all receive Hot Works / Gas Cutting training prior to the work.  We employ our own in-house trainer to carry out the training and ensure safety standards are met.
