Specialized Refractory Welding
We Don’t Just Weld; We Pace the Project
In the refractory industry, welding is more than a trade; it is a critical-path operation. No. Twelve specializes in high-volume anchor installation designed to stay consistently ahead of the refractory spray or pour.
We understand that standby costs for refractory crews can derail a project’s budget in a single shift. That’s why we’ve engineered our service as a turnkey logistical asset—providing fully autonomous mobile units that arrive site-ready, requiring zero infrastructure or equipment support from the client.
Precision for High-Temperature Environments
Refractory integrity depends on the quality of the steel preparation and anchor installation. We bring deep technical expertise to every shutdown, specifically focusing on:
Built for the Shutdown Environment
We recognize the logistical chaos of a 24/7 turnaround. No. Twelve is a self-sustained unit designed to operate with zero friction:
Experience Where It Counts
Our refractory model was forged in the demanding environments of Ontario’s cement and steel industries. During the Heidelberg Materials Picton Shutdown, No. Twelve was tasked with a critical-path anchor scope in the Preheater Tower and Kiln.
By maintaining a production rate that kept welding 12 to 24 hours ahead of the refractory spray crews, we ensured zero standby time and 100% schedule compliance. We bring that same “Pace-Setting” efficiency to every project we touch.
Service FAQ’s
No. One of our primary advantages is our “Plug-and-Play” capability. Our mobile rigs are fully self-sustained with onboard power and specialized tools. We arrive ready to work without needing to tap into your facility’s infrastructure.
For standard repairs, we can often provide an estimate based on photos and a description. For complex fabrication or refractory work, we offer a consultation to review drawings or perform a site visit. This ensures our quote is accurate and accounts for all material and logistical requirements.
Yes. No. Twelve can fabricate components based on your provided technical drawings or engineered specs. We ensure that the final build adheres to the dimensions and tolerances required for your specific project.
