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
