Forglass has completed a large-scale hot repair project for a float glass manufacturer in Egypt, adding another successful international reference to its portfolio of furnace repair operations.

The project centred on the hot over-coating of the entire float furnace, a highly specialised process carried out while the furnace remains at operating temperature. This type of repair is designed to reinforce the furnace superstructure, reduce heat losses and extend the furnace’s operational campaign without requiring a costly production shutdown.

To execute the project, Forglass deployed a team of 115 experienced hot repair specialists, who managed every phase of the operation, from planning and logistics to on-site execution. Detailed coordination and strict adherence to safety procedures ensured the repair was completed efficiently and according to schedule.
