Fixed & Mobile Plant Sandblasting WA
Cranes, conveyors, structural steel, pipework and refinery plant prepped in place — coating removed, steel left inspectable.
In short
We blast plant where it stands. Containment is planned before the job starts so adjacent equipment, drains and crews are unaffected, and the steel is handed back clean enough to inspect and coat.
What comes off
Failed two-pack, chalked epoxy, mill scale, rust scale and process residue. On plant that cannot be moved, blasting in place is the only realistic way to get back to sound steel.
Working live sites means containment first: screens, tarps and capture set up before the nozzle opens, so the abrasive does not travel into machinery, drains or the crew next to us.
Structures and access
Booms, gantries, walkways, hoppers, silos, tanks and support steel. Height and access are part of the scope — we work off your EWP, scaffold or rope access arrangements and plan the sequence to match.
Where a full strip is not needed, a sweep blast to remove chalking and loose coating gives your maintenance system something to bond to at a fraction of the outage.
Pipework and refinery plant
Insulated pipework, flanges, valve bodies, spools and structural supports. Corrosion under insulation is usually worse than it looks from outside, and blasting is what makes the extent visible.
Live plant means permits, isolations and hot-work rules. We work to your system, not around it.
Outages and shutdowns
Plant work is scheduled work. Give us the window and we resource to it, including nights and weekends. Everything we need is on the truck — water, media, power and containment — so we are not queueing for site services.
Steel that cannot be moved, cleaned where it stands
Structural steel in place
Cranes, gantries, conveyor frames and structural members are prepared in position, which means access work — scaffold, EWP or rope — is usually a bigger part of the plan than the blasting. Access dictates the sequence: what gets blasted first is what can be coated first, so the surface never sits bare while the platform is being moved.
Pipework and insulation
Corrosion under insulation is found, not predicted. Once cladding comes off, the extent of the problem is visible, and the scope frequently changes at that point. We would rather price the inspection and the first section honestly than quote a fixed number for steel nobody has seen yet.
Containment near live plant
Blasting next to running equipment is a containment problem before it is a blasting problem. Wet media drops rather than drifts, which is often what makes the work permissible at all, and screens or tenting handle the rest. Spent media and removed coating are collected for disposal rather than washed away.
Coating systems for exposure
Coastal and industrial atmospheres in WA are hard on steel, and the system specified for a Kwinana structure is not the one for an inland shed. We prepare to the profile the specified system calls for — see surface profile and standards — and sequence coats to the recoat windows on the data sheet.
How the job runs
Scope and permits
Access, isolations, containment requirements and the coating spec the steel is going into.
Contain
Screens, tarps, drain protection and media capture set before work starts.
Blast
Full strip or sweep blast depending on the member, to the profile in your spec.
Hand over
Inhibitor on bare steel, containment cleared, photos issued for the maintenance file.

Common questions
Fixed & Mobile Plant sandblasting — your questions answered
Can you blast plant without shutting the area down?
Often yes. Wet blasting throws no dust plume, and with screens and capture in place adjacent work can usually continue. We scope that with your site team before committing to it.
Do you work at height?
Yes, off your EWP, scaffold or rope access arrangements. Access is priced and planned as part of the scope rather than discovered on the day.
Can you work to our permit system?
Yes. Isolations, hot work, confined space and drain protection all get handled through your system. We turn up with the documentation your site requires.
Can you blast structural steel without dismantling it?
Yes — that is the point of a mobile setup. Steel is prepared in place with access equipment and containment, and coated in sequence so no section stands bare longer than it needs to.
What happens when you find corrosion under the insulation?
We stop and show you. Corrosion under insulation is almost always worse than it looks from outside, and the honest way to handle it is to price the inspection first and the remediation once the extent is visible.
Do you work at height or in confined spaces?
Both, with the appropriate access equipment, permits and procedures in place. Tell us at quote stage what the access situation is, because it usually drives the schedule more than the blasting does.
