Sandblasting Kwinana
Heavy industry country — tanks, pipework, structural steel and plant, blasted in place to your coating spec.
Blasting in Kwinana
The Kwinana strip runs from Naval Base down to Wellard, dense with tanks, pipework, structural steel and plant that all need periodic recoating. Most of it cannot be moved, so blasting happens where it stands.
We work to site inductions, permits, coating specifications and shutdown windows, with containment planned before the nozzle opens and licensed disposal of spent media where the coating warrants it.
Areas covered: Kwinana, Kwinana Beach, Naval Base, Henderson, Medina, Calista, Orelia, Parmelia, Wellard, Casuarina, Postans
In short
Kwinana is inside our standard rate with no travel component. We blast dry where the specification will not accept a damp substrate and wet where dust cannot be allowed to travel — both setups are on the rig. Call 0458 531 878.
What we blast around Kwinana
Tanks and vessels. Interiors and exteriors back to sound steel for lining or recoating, with confined-space entry planned before we arrive. See fixed and mobile plant.
Pipework and structures. Flanges, spools, valve bodies, supports, walkways and gantries. Corrosion under insulation is usually worse than it looks from outside, and blasting is what makes the extent visible.
Plant and components. Conveyors, hoppers, frames and attachments prepped for NDT, welding or a new coating system. See mining equipment sandblasting.
Mobile or workshop
Essentially all Kwinana work is on site. The rig carries its own air, water, abrasive and containment so we are not competing for site services, and we can resource nights and weekends where the outage window demands it.
Working inside the Kwinana industrial strip
Kwinana is contractor systems, inductions and permits, and those govern the schedule more than the blasting does. Isolation, hot work, confined space and working at height each carry their own paperwork and their own lead time. Tell us the site and the contractor management system at quote stage and it goes into the plan rather than into the delays.
The technical work is refinery and plant steel: pipework, structures, tanks and fixed plant, often prepared next to equipment that is still running. Wet blasting is frequently what makes that possible at all, because spent media drops at the base of the work rather than drifting across a live area. Coating systems here are specified for a hard, chloride-laden industrial atmosphere, and we prepare to the profile the system calls for.

Kwinana questions
Working in Kwinana
Can you work to our permit system?
Yes — isolations, hot work, confined space and drain protection all go through your system, and we arrive with the documentation your site requires.
Can you blast dry if our spec requires it?
Yes. We run both setups. Inorganic zinc primers and some tank linings will not accept a damp substrate, so those are blasted dry with the dust contained. Send the coating datasheet and we will match the process to it.
Do you handle disposal of spent media?
Yes. Where the coating removed requires it, spent media is contained, collected and disposed of through a licensed facility, and that cost is in the quote rather than added later.
Can you work during a shutdown window?
Yes, including nights and weekends. Give us the window and we resource to it.
Are you set up for inducted site work in Kwinana?
Yes. Tell us the site, the contractor management system and the permit requirements at quote stage, and the induction time is built into the schedule.
Can you blast next to operating plant?
Often, using wet media and containment so the surrounding area stays workable. It depends on proximity and the site\u2019s own rules, so we look at the specific location before committing.
