Refractory Repair, Installation, and Construction

When a lining starts to fail, speed and quality of repair decide how much production you lose. McKeown provides refractory repair, installation, and construction services, directly or through joint-venture partners, to get equipment back in service and keep it there.

Coke Oven Ceramic Welding Programs

Ceramic welding fuses repair material to the wall at operating temperature, producing a durable, long-life repair that outlasts conventional gunning or patching. Choose the program that fits your maintenance model.

Turnkey Service

Our crews inspect the refractory and complete the oven wall repair from start to finish.

Equipment and Maintenance

We supply and maintain ceramic welding equipment for your own refractory maintenance personnel.

Powder Supply

We supply ceramic welding powder for use with repair equipment serviced by third parties.

Installation and Construction

For new builds and relines, we provide brick installation, gunning, and limited construction services. Crews work from the same drawings and bill of materials used to supply the job, so installation matches the design.

Coke Oven Inspection and Maintenance

Scheduled battery inspections document wall condition, flue integrity, and structural wear, so repairs are planned before damage spreads. We follow each inspection with a prioritized repair recommendation.

Schedule an Inspection or Repair Consultation

Tell us the equipment, its current condition, and your next available window. We'll recommend a repair approach and the program that fits it.
