Refractory linings are often the key component of critical process units in the industries we service. We understand the importance of service longevity, and our goal is to eliminate unscheduled downtime due to refractory failures.
We have the ability to provide CAD drawings of our lining installations, "real time" costing of projects, full service infra-red scanning of units to determine the condition, and identify areas of concern with existing linings. We are big enough to handle the large shutdowns, but we also remain loyal to both our local and smaller customers who have trusted us with their business for decades.
