The ovens (F) are arranged side by side in a battery and are each delimited by two sidewalls (10) formed by side bricks (11) and joined by transverse bricks (12, 13). The method comprises: cutting each sidewall (10) to be repaired in accordance with a cutting plane (PC) defining a respective end flat face (14) in the middle portion of the wall (10a) to be maintained and coinciding with the face of a row of transverse bricks (12, 13) facing an adjacent end wall portion (10b) which is being removed; providing in each flat end face (14), a pair of cutouts (15), each having in a basic transverse face, a longitudinal middle channel (15c) in which a tongue (11c) of new bricks from a new end wall portion (10b) is fitted; fitting in each cutout (15) a corresponding portion of a vertical row of side bricks (11a, 11b) for the new end wall portion (10b) until the formation is complete.

The present technology is generally directed to horizontal heat recovery and non-heat recovery coke ovens having monolith components. In some embodiments, an HHR coke oven includes a monolith component that spans the width of the oven between opposing oven sidewalls. The monolith expands upon heating and contracts upon cooling as a single structure. In further embodiments, the monolith component comprises a thermally-volume-stable material. The monolith component may be a crown, a wall, a floor, a sole flue or combination of some or all of the oven components to create a monolith structure. In further embodiments, the component is formed as several monolith segments spanning between supports such as oven sidewalls. The monolith component and thermally-volume-stable features can be used in combination or alone. These designs can allow the oven to be turned down below traditionally feasible temperatures while maintaining the structural integrity of the oven.
