AIM Rope Access removed a decommissioned gas pipe from the side of a railway bridge on Dalsholm Road, Glasgow. The pipe was positioned in a difficult high‑level location above the rail corridor, requiring rope access and precise cutting techniques to remove it safely.

Our technicians used a wire saw to section and lower the pipe in a controlled manner, working to an agreed method that ensured full compliance with safety requirements. Consultancy support for the cutting method was provided by Peter Ferguson at Demcon Training, ensuring the removal was planned and executed to the highest standard.

The works were completed efficiently with no disruption to the surrounding infrastructure, leaving the bridge clear of redundant services.
