Concrete bar slag container

A method of implementing a reusable containerization system for collecting metal by-product during a metal cutting operation, the steps comprising:

• positioning concrete composite structural bars within a flooring structure, said flooring structure including a plurality of longitudinally extending metal carriers positioned to house said bars;
• performing a metal cutting operation;
• collecting the metal by-product on said concrete composite structural bars;
• removing said bars;
• cleaning metal by-product from said bars;
• and returning said concrete composite structural bars to said metal carriers.

A metal cutting system for cutting a workpiece comprising:

• a cutting torch having a nozzle and an electrode for producing a plasma arc in accordance with a cutting current supplied to the electrode, said cutting torch being movably disposed relative to the workpiece and cutting the workpiece with the plasma arc;
• power supply means for supplying the cutting current to the electrode of said cutting torch;
• moving means for moving said cutting torch relative to the workpiece;
• storage means for storing cut machining data;
• drive control means for numerically controlling said moving means in accordance with the cut machining data read out of said storage means, said moving means moving said cutting torch at a speed relative to the workpiece;
• a flooring structure;
• and, a plurality of longitudinally extending concrete composite structural bars, said flooring structure including generally perpendicular disposed metal carriers adapted for receiving said bars.
