Rehabilitating an iron pellet indurating furnace

Indurating furnaces are rarely shut down, and when they are, it is for a very short time. So, it is a major asset to have a local team available for carrying out surveys required in the areas that need to be locked out. This also makes it possible to take advantage of both planned and unplanned shutdowns to perform these tasks.
