FURNACE
INSPECTION
SERVICES
DGC AFRICA's advanced furnace inspection services use endoscopy and infrared thermography for real-time monitoring and assessment.
Our furnace inspection services utilize advanced endoscopy and infrared thermography techniques to assess the condition of refractories and thermal status of furnace equipment. These proactive measures enable real-time, remote visualization and monitoring, ensuring optimal furnace performance and safety.
