We have the Facilities for items to be coated using either Wet Spray Coating or Thermal Spray systems or both dependent upon design and service conditions.

We blast clean all items prior to coating, shot blasting is the mainstay to all long life protective systems and is the first stage for durability. That’s why we have dedicated chilled iron and bauxite medium blast rooms to reduce contamination and ensure a high quality and clean blasted surface. For galvanised items we can offer either sweep blasting using a non-magnetic abrasive or by applying a mordant solution to ensure a good keyway.

For larger volumes we have two independent track systems, as for low volume or one off items we have several free standing paint booths to allow us to paint small items to heavy fabrications. Our largest booth covers a 15mtr section at a time. We can also offer thermal stress relieving services with our in-house electric oven as this often goes hand in hand with steel fabrications built to a high requirements and standards.

We have experience working with most industries and their specific requirements as well as benefiting from having ISO 9001 accreditation and in house NACE level II paint inspector.
