WELDED FIREBOXES
We have manufactured all shapes and sizes of welded firebox for over thirty years. We have built up a large quantity of firebox endplate and wrapper tooling to enable us to hot form both endplates and wrappers.
Our Flanged and Butt Welded Fireboxes are built to the latest Insurance standards. Each firebox is viewed by insurance surveyors at various points during its manufacture, and is finally 100% NDT tested to prove there are no flaws in the welding. Certification is supplied on completion.
| CASE STUDY: WELDED FIREBOX | |
| CLIENT: BARRACKS STEAM MUSEUM, ABERDEEN | ![]() |
| JOB: MANUFACTURE OF FLANGED & BUTT WELDED FIREBOX | |
SCOPE OF WORK The two endplates and wrapper are then prepped for welding by grinding a bevel onto the plate edges, the box is then tack welded together before being checked by the insurance surveyor. Once given the all clear it’s then fully fusion welded by our coded welders. In this case the foundation ring and firedoor ring were re-usable so were seal welded to the box. A new set of roof girders were manufactured and stay bars machined and fit. |
