Blast and Paint Facilities for the Repair of Barges

CUSTOMIZATION FOR ANY LEVEL OF NEED

BlastOne’s roots have been in the blasting and paint industry for over 40 years. Our projects range from engineering, construction, design, and support of facilities for barge painting and blasting. While customers may need our full supply and construction services, some may only need equipment or engineering services from us in order to complete their projects. Additionally, we are noticing many customers in the barge blasting industry are looking to automate their work. At BlastOne, we have robotic solutions to significantly increase production times.

Lots of barge builders and repair facilities are not doing well with blasting and painting efficiency. For others, it may be the transportation costs of moving the barges to a third party for processing.

Generally, most barge repair facilities are at the mercy of Mother Nature and can only blast and paint in short bursts (some days not at all). BlastOne can design world class facilities on your site that are indoor, climate controlled and have low operational costs to help mitigate these concerns.

BlastOne can provide an extensive range of equipment including:

EQUIPMENT

Abrasive blasting Pots

Paint Application Equipment
Make-Up Air Systems for heating
Compressed Air Systems
Water Chilling Systems

Typical Services we provide to the barge repair and construction industry include:
