Steel / Refractory Construction

The long-lasting, safe, and efficient operation of industrial furnaces is only possible through the precise design and meticulous execution of both technological steel fabrication and refractory erection. While the steel structure forms the furnace’s main supporting framework, the refractory lining directly affects its energy efficiency, durability, and operational costs. Managing these two processes as an integrated whole is the key criterion for overall project success.

With over twenty years of experience, GTR has specialized in every stage of glass furnace construction, from technological steel structure fabrication and erection to refractory lining. In flat glass, container glass, and tableware furnace projects, we carry out steel fabrication and assembly with the utmost precision and apply the same level of care to our refractory works.

In every project, our engineers and expert teams carefully manage precision measurements, and quality control processes. Preventing heat loss, reinforcing critical areas, and enhancing energy efficiency provide long-term advantages for operations. Research shows that properly constructed furnaces can prevent up to 50% of energy losses, offering a significant gain in both production continuity and cost efficiency.

GTR has successfully completed projects not only for Turkey’s leading glass manufacturers but also in countries such as Russia, France, Norway, South Africa, and Brazil, proving itself as a reliable international solution partner.
