Commercial Service
Commercial
Plant and equipment sandblasting & coatings
Overview of the service
Plant and equipment preparation is used to clean, restore, and protect machinery and assets operating in commercial and industrial environments.
BlastOff Solutions provides preparation and coating services for plant and equipment to help extend service life, reduce maintenance, and support reliable operation.
Our work is delivered in line with operational requirements, whether carried out on site or off site.
How we prepare
plant and equipment
Our process focuses on safe access, correct preparation, and efficient turnaround.
01
Surfaces are cleaned using sandblasting, soda blasting, or laser cleaning depending on the substrate, condition, and operational environment of the asset
02
Post-blast inspection is carried out across all surfaces. Findings are photographed and documented for client and engineering review before any coating work proceeds
03
Structural integrity is assessed following cleaning. Thinning, pitting, cracking, and section loss identified during inspection are recorded and reported
04
A welder is engaged where required to reinstate structural integrity. Additional plates, stiffeners, and supports are welded in prior to coating to ensure the asset is fit for continued service
05
Coating system is selected based on asset type, operating environment, and client specification. Options include two and three coat epoxy/polyurethane systems, zinc-rich primers, and thermoplastic coatings
We use Ibix polyfusion technology to paint the asset or a written specification from the paint supplier.
Project details help us plan the work safely and efficiently.
Capabilities and
equipment
We support a wide range of plant and
machinery preparation needs.
Equipment suited to industrial environments.
01
Fully mobile blasting units deployed directly to site. Sandblasting, soda blasting, and laser cleaning carried out on location without the need to remove the asset from service
02
Off-site blasting and coating at our yard for assets that can be transported. Controlled environment preparation with faster turnaround and no site access constraints
03
On-site abrasive sandblasting of plant, machinery, pipework, tanks, and structural steelwork to AS 1627.4 preparation standards
04
On-site soda blasting for sensitive assets and machinery where abrasive sand would risk damage to seals, bearings, or adjacent equipment
05
On-site laser cleaning for precision rust, coating, and contamination removal in live environments where dust and media containment is not practical
Where this
service is used
Plant and equipment preparation is commonly required for:
01
Industrial facilities
Factories, warehouses, and heavy industry sites where plant and equipment requires ongoing surface preparation and protective coating maintenance
02
Processing plants
Food, chemical, water, and waste processing facilities where equipment must meet hygiene, chemical resistance, and corrosion protection requirements
03
Manufacturing sites
Production machinery, structural steelwork, and fabrications requiring preparation and coating as part of planned maintenance or refurbishment programmes
04
Maintenance and service environments
Scheduled and reactive maintenance coating work carried out around live operations with minimal disruption to production
05
Power generation and utilities
Generator sets, transformer housings, switchboard enclosures, and electrical infrastructure at power stations and substations
