Our Mining & Drilling Products Division covers the horizontal directional drilling, water well drilling, environmental and geotechnical drilling, tunnel drilling, jet grouting, infrastructure drilling, geothermal, mineral processing, mineral exploration and oil sands coring markets. We supply drilling fluids, sealants, hardware, casing, and virtually all of the consumables that go in the ground.
Construction Management
We will determine the critical path of the activities and, just as important, we will make a schedule risk assessment to minimize chances of schedule overruns. The planning can be made together with the appointed installation contractor or can be used to give direction to the contractor’s program.
Installation Services
Based on the foregoing activities and with the backup and support of our shareholder companies, we can offer all installation services for the relevant disciplines on our projects. Generally, we can state that we would like to optimize the use of our own personnel. Depending on the country, we work with pre-selected local partners.
Inspection
Inspections are being performed on all sorts of installations, blast furnaces, hot blast stoves and coke batteries. When our customer demands information about the condition of their installation, in order to determine future life span, furnace availability and repair planning, HeatTeQ is the perfect partner
Refractory Training
As a refractory installation company, it is important to employ people who are aware of all the aspects that determine the success of a refractory lining as intended in its application. In 2010, we started the HeatTeQ Refractory Academy. The academy was set up to train our own personnel only, but since 2012, we have opened the course for our customers and dedicated partners as well. The training is set up for (young) engineers and refractory foremen/supervisors, working in the iron making industry. The purpose of the training is to make the participants aware of the different types of installations, their behaviour and the role refractories have in these installations
Innovating Techniques
HeatTeQ has developed a new patented concept to replace a coke ovenwall, called The Fastwall Concept. Unique to this concept is that the coke ovenwall is built at an external location, instead of in the battery itself. In short, the wall is lifted while being supported by a truss structure and placed on a transport. During the lifting and transportation, hydraulic cylinders will keep the wall levelled
