Services
Surface Preparation
Our surface preparation services utilize recyclable blast media and advanced equipment to meet exacting specifications. We employ multiple methods including power tool cleaning, water jetting, and vacuum blasting to ensure optimal surface conditions for coating application. This critical first step guarantees proper adhesion and longevity of protective coatings on complex structures.
Coating Application
We apply specialized coating systems tailored to each project's requirements, including inorganic zinc, epoxies, and polysiloxanes. Our experienced team follows strict quality control protocols to ensure even coverage and proper curing. These protective layers provide long-term corrosion resistance and structural integrity for bridges and industrial assets.
Metalizing
As one of few contractors offering both blasting and metalizing, we apply protective metal coatings using advanced thermal spray processes. This specialized service creates durable, corrosion-resistant surfaces on steel structures. Our expertise ensures proper adhesion and uniform thickness for extended service life in challenging environments.
Containment Systems
We design and install customized containment systems for safe and efficient bridge painting operations. Our engineered solutions include Class 1A containment structures that protect workers and the environment during abrasive blasting and coating activities. These systems maintain regulatory compliance while ensuring project efficiency.
Intumescent Coatings
Our intumescent coating application provides passive fire protection for structural steel components. This specialized service creates a protective char layer when exposed to high temperatures, maintaining structural integrity during fire events. We follow strict application protocols to ensure proper thickness and performance.
