Sandblasting

Sandblasting is an aggressive process also often called abrasive blasting due to the usage of tiny yet rough granules forced against a surface with high-powered air. As the tiny particles smash against the surface of the object undergoing blasting, they strip away surface contaminants such as rust, old paint, worn out coatings, and much more. Afterwards, with a job done well, you have a surface that is clean, and with a surface profile suitable for coating application. Remember that quality coatings need to have a profile to adhere to, abrasive blasting ensures that the paint will stick to your asset. One of the simplest ways to clean many kinds of surfaces, but particularly metal, proper blasting requires the right equipment, good training, and experience. At Phoenix Protective & Marine Coating Specialists, we tick each of these boxes with ease. With more than four decades of experience in this industry, our team delivers a complete service to support your goals no matter your needs or the scope of the job.

What should you know about our capabilities and these services?

Do you need a provider for sandblasting in Cairns? Understanding whether or not you should pick up the phone and call for assistance is an important step. You must know if sandblasting will help in your situation, or if you should pursue some other type of solution. What are some of the key issues you can address by choosing our blasting services?

• Corrosion, old paint, old coatings, or a build-up of grime and sludge on metal components. The simplest way to remove these problematic surface contaminants is with thorough high-pressure blasting. When you require a clean surface for the next stage of a part's life, this is imperative.
• Surface preparation requirements for large fuel tanks and other major structures. We're highly adept at large-scale blasting just as we are with smaller components. We've even worked on bridges and other significant items of infrastructure in the past and can sandblast steel with ease.
• Environmentally challenging scenarios that require vacuum blasting or full encapsulation and dust extraction are our specialty. Reducing dust and preventing harmful airborne contaminants from spreading requires specialised equipment to capture the dust created from blasting. We're skilled in this arena, too, and we're very thorough in isolating blasting areas to prevent the spread of dust.

Arranging for these services should be simple and straightforward once you identify a need for them, and our team pledges to make it as smooth a process as possible. However, there are some other important things to keep in mind as you move forward. Consider the following tips to ensure you make the most of our services:

• Know whether you need assistance on-site or if you should opt to turn your equipment over to our blasting facility. We're capable of travelling to you to provide the services you require, or you can send your items to us instead. Obviously, this is not always possible with some items.
• Safety is critical for these processes. Ensure that you invest in a team such as ours that puts health and safety at the top of the "to-do" list, and not somewhere around the middle. Protect your site, your equipment, and the health of your employees with your choice.
• Ask about our protective coatings and marine-grade level services. If you've had to strip away rust on your equipment more than once, it is probably time to consider applying an anti-corrosion coating to prevent the problem from re-occurring.

Why partner with our team? The Phoenix Protective & Marine Coating Specialists team has dedicated itself to developing an end to end service that achieves superior results with less downtime and fewer delays, but that is far from our only selling point. We set ourselves apart in other ways, too.

• We rely on state of the art equipment and purpose-built facilities to deliver exceptional results. Our goal is simple: provide a complete service regardless of the scale at which our clients need us to work. Our advanced blasting equipment gives us robust capabilities to use for your benefit.
• We possess a rigorous and widely-respected third-party quality accreditation. Accredited by PCCP, we have proven that we apply protective coatings to meet and exceed all relevant standards.

Finding a trusted service provider is essential. We don't believe you should simply take our word for it, so we encourage you to contact us to discuss your needs directly. During this conversation, you'll have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have on your mind. Some important topics you may wish to discuss are:

• At what scales do you work? Can you handle large or small blasting jobs? Many of our prospective clients like to develop a sense of how we respond to challenging requests. We hope to surprise your team with answers that you weren't expecting.
• How long will it take to accomplish the work? Some projects require a rapid turnaround time to minimise shut-down time. We're capable of working within tightly-defined parameters to meet challenging milestones for our clients.
• Is there a risk of damage to my equipment? There are always some concerns about operator error causing damage to critical components, but we can set your mind at ease with data about how we work.

Whether you have these questions or you'd like to know something else, we're standing by to answer your enquiries.
