Behind the Kilns

A new 25 cubic foot kiln has been successfully delivered to the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Cape Town. These photos capture the journey from delivery to carefully moving the kiln into place, a great example of the planning, teamwork, and care involved in handling specialised equipment. A big thank you to the University of Cape Town for choosing Kiln Contracts. We appreciate the opportunity to be part of this project and wish the team many years of successful firing.
