Other Services

Bisco’s experience meeting an exceeding the rigorous safety and regulatory requirements of American industry has provided us the opportunity to expand our business beyond its refractory maintenance roots over the past decade. Our company is currently experiencing exciting growth in conventional masonry and demolition. 

Conventional Masonry

Bisco Refractortories is a premier provider of masonry crews to perform new construction projects in environments where safety standards and regulatory requirements make it virtually impossible for conventional masonry contractors to operate. The reason is simple: We have the favorable relationships required to man our commercial jobs with expert masonry craftsmen and the experience required to train those craftsmen to work in environments where industry regulation far exceeds the OSHA minimums familiar to most contractors. We have experience completing commercial masonry projects in nuclear power and various industrial production facilities. 

Robotic Demolition  

Our Robotic Demolition division offers customers the equipment and expert operators needed to perform demolition projects where conventional labor demolition is not an option. We maintain a fleet of  Brokk demolition machines capable of handling tear-out projects of all sizes.
