The refractory on this header had been prone to rapid deterioration due in part to an ineffective anchoring system. The previously hand welded “V” anchors were removed and replaced with a stud welded, stainless steel, headed anchor.

This pictures shows the type of system we incorporate on the headed anchor providing superior support for the refractory.     

Several Covanta plants have already benefited from this stud welded, stainless steel, headed anchor system; achieving up to 24 months of protection with no required maintenance.  We are the only stud welding company that continually strives to improve our application techniques and elevate our commitment to service and quality.  An excellent working relationship with Covanta and the willingness to continue to find new methods for improving furnace life and efficiency set us apart from other applicators.

Our stud size capabilities of up to 1″ diameter, and our fleet of diesel and battery powered units provides the mobile power required for your Studwelding applications. Typical construction projects requiring our services include; bridges, buildings, steel platforms, levys, pilings, water towers, crane runs, subways, tunnels, etc…

Our most recent invention, the “Rapid Ferrule”, has revolutionized how the construction industry places a ferrule on steel beams and corrugated decking by allowing the operator a bendfree, ergonomically correct way to dispense the ferrule accurately.

The building pictured below had 3/4″ shear connectors welded through corrugated decking and 1/2″ deformed bars welded to pour angles. Structures erected with steel typically require our Studwelding service. The studs welded serve as a concrete anchor while also adding shear strength to the steel.
