Scope
- Anchor layout and welding
- Hexmesh / hexmetal installation
- V-anchor, bullhorn and ceramic or metallic anchor systems
- SiC tile anchorage and tile installation on boiler water walls
- Anchorage work within a wider refractory package
Typical equipment
- Refractory-lined process vessels
- FCCU cyclones and associated equipment
- Boiler water walls (energy from waste)
Send with your enquiry
- Equipment and anchorage drawings
- Specified anchor materials, dimensions and quantities
- Required welding processes and qualifications
- Whether fabrication or supply is included
- Location and proposed programme
