SPIE Hotwork’s Unusual Applications
From rocket launch pad blast deflectors to fire department training structures to nuclear waste vitrification units, SPIE Hotwork has performed some unusual projects. SPIE Hotwork has provided its temporary heat process to facilitate research programs, for environmental testing, and to provide freeze protection to critical assets in cold climates. On occasion, clients have had materials solidify in the most inconvenient places and SPIE Hotwork has been called to melt it out. Whether it is a boiler project at a mine site in Mongolia, a nickel refiner near a remote mine in a tropical jungle, a beryllium exhaust hood in the U.S., or a vanadium kiln in the Australian outback, SPIE Hotwork has probably already done it at least once.
