Commercial
Sand blasting to structural steel and concrete
Overview of the service
Structural steel preparation is a critical step in protecting steel and ensuring coatings and fire protection systems perform as intended.
BlastOff Solutions provides commercial structural steel preparation for new builds, refurbishments, and remediation projects. We prepare steel surfaces so primers, protective coatings, and intumescent fire protection systems can be applied correctly and achieve their designed lifespan.
Our team works across live commercial and industrial sites, coordinating with other trades and following project specifications to keep programmes moving safely and efficiently.

Capabilities
Abrasive blasting to Sa 2.5 (Near-White Metal) and Sa 3 (White Metal) per AS 1627.4 on structural steel members, fabrications, and connections
Surface profiling to achieve specified anchor profiles (Rz 40–70 µm) for primer adhesion on protective coating and intumescent fire protection systems
Concrete substrate preparation including scabbling, needle-gunning, and abrasive blasting to CSP 3–6 for industrial coating and waterproofing applications
Remediation blasting on existing steelwork. Removing failed coatings, mill scale, corrosion, and contaminants prior to recertification or recoating
Programme-driven sequencing to keep blast preparation ahead of following trades on fast-track commercial and industrial sites
