Industrial General Contractor since 1955

The trade that keeps you in production,
brick by brick.

Furnace construction, refractory installation, and brick repair — the work our crews have done for decades, and it still sets the standard for everything else we do.

Seventy years inside the hot end.

Lilja built its name as a contractor for the glass industry, and refractory is the backbone of making glass. Our masons have built, rebuilt, and repaired furnaces for all of the biggest names in glass, and we've carried that experience into every high-temperature industry we have serviced.

Refractory is unforgiving work. Get the brick wrong and a furnace loses efficiency — or loses containment. Our crews know the difference, and they know what an hour of a cold furnace costs our customers.

What our masons build.

  • Major and minor furnace repairs
  • Complete furnace surveying including endoscope services
  • 24/7 hot repair services
  • Refractory shotcrete and spray sealing
  • International hot repairs and construction management

Every crew works to the same safety standard that earned Lilja a 0.66 EMR — well below the 1.00 industry average. See how we hold it.

BRING US YOUR TOUGHEST JOB.

From concept to completion, whatever the size, tell us what you need built and we'll deliver.
