Refractory installation is a task that needs to be treated carefully at every stage. The preceding stage is of vital importance at least as the refractory installation phase. The preparations required before the installation stage can be reviewed under two category:
Like all projects, refractory installation begins with the collection of necessary documents. Therefore, it is important to collect all of the documents before going to the construction site. Examples of these documents are order confirmations, schedules, maps, and material supply schematics. Installation instructions and safety data sheets are also a part of required documents. The status of preliminary work must be checked beforehand too; for example, whether the removal of the old refractories is finished or not. Preparing a work schedule will also be extremely useful. All construction / installation works, furnace components, and structures should be divided into easy-to-follow steps in this working schedule.
The first thing to look for is the storage conditions of the related equipment and materials in the construction site. In other words, the equipment placement and availability must be confirmed beforehand. Accessibility of the construction site for materials, electricity, drinking water, compressed air and waste disposition should also be considered in this context. Construction sites must contain appropriate construction equipment, building piers and the staff should be equipped with the necessary tools. Moving work platforms, pumps and welding equipment used for the implementation of refractory mortars are some examples of appropriate construction equipment. All refractory materials must be placed in a certain order for easy access. In this context, the presence of a storage compartment is essential to protect them from the weather. Safety instructions should be explained to staff before starting the installation process. All of these issues must be regularly checked during the project.
