How is a glass melting furnace different from other pieces of plant equipment?
It is likely to be the biggest piece of equipment in the plant and because it is the source of molten glass, the plant cannot function without it. Because of size, furnaces are assembled and built on site. This is different from many other types of equipment that can be brought in completely assembled and set into place. Because of this, the integration of engineering and construction aspects demands excellence in project management.
