unless you can find the ends and theres no way of ensuring they dont conrtol anything leave well alone I was on a site a couple of years ago everything was being removed even fixings to walls,celings the main contractors spark killed everyting out the board but there was a feed to another bit of the building coming from the DNO transformer the demolition guys were given the all clear to cut cables out except the well marked mains they proceeded untill everything went dark in the other building ( magor bank head office) as the bunch of pyros made dead by spark contained the EM for the DNO Transformer An expensive lesson was learned that day ie start at one end of cable and strip out dont just stick a hacksaw through a big bunch

was it you Lenny who replaced the Dbs recently with old 3/4 pyros?? IMO Pyro makes a crackin lookin job if done correctly but an absolute arse job if not done right Personaly Im Crapolla at it and nearly as bad at conduit

chris gray · Jun 19, 2010

yeah it did look pretty cool. never seen anything like it to be honest.

There is something artistic in a properly done big Pyro job.

I did quite a few of these years ago but as the cost of Pyro increased and Firetuff became the preferred cable for fire alarms you just dont get to use it much these days.

Doing a large project with all fire alarms, em lighting and plant / boiler houses in pyro. Some of the younger guys aren't looking forward to the challenge though.
