Process

How we work

  1. 01

    Surface evaluation

    We survey the substrate, identify coatings, scale, and corrosion, and select the abrasive and pressure that protects the substrate while hitting the spec.

  2. 02

    Containment & BRS rigging

    Confined spaces are sealed, ventilated, and rigged with our Blast Recovery System (BRS) to recycle media and minimize cleanup. Adjacent surfaces are masked.

  3. 03

    Abrasive blasting

    Using 100% virgin eco-friendly abrasives, sodium bicarbonate (soda), or specialty media, we hit NACE/SSPC surface-prep standards for the specified coating system.

  4. 04

    Inspection & turnover

    Surfaces are dust-blown, profile-tested, and turned over to the coatings crew within the recoat window. All waste is bagged, manifested, and removed.
