Abrasive blasting, track blasting, Ultra High Pressure and High Pressure water jetting for steel, tanks, pipelines and utility assets.
Surface preparation is a critical stage in any protective coating project. W. G. Beaumont prepares steelwork, pipework, tanks and utility assets so coating systems have the right surface profile, cleanliness and condition before application begins.
W. G. Beaumont selects the preparation method around the substrate, coating specification, access restrictions and surrounding environment, whether the work calls for abrasive blasting, track blasting, Ultra High Pressure water jetting or High Pressure water jetting.
This capability is especially useful on live utilities, fuel, terminal and rail-linked sites where containment, sequencing, inspection and safe access all need to be planned together.
01
Review the asset, coating condition, access constraints and surrounding operational environment.
02
Select the preparation method, containment approach and inspection controls required for the project.
03
Remove failed coatings, corrosion and contamination to the agreed standard.
04
Present a prepared surface ready for coating application and inspection.
Failed coating removal, corrosion control and surface cleaning need to be matched to the asset and the new coating system.
W. G. Beaumont can advise on a practical preparation route once the surface condition, access and specification are understood.
The result is a prepared surface that supports inspection, coating application and longer-term asset protection.
Controlled abrasive blasting can remove failed coatings, corrosion and contamination so the surface can meet the required preparation standard before coating.
UHP water jetting is used where high-output coating removal or surface cleaning is needed without abrasive media.
HP water jetting supports cleaning, preparation and removal of loose contamination on suitable assets and site conditions.
Track blasting can be used on appropriate flat steel surfaces where a contained and repeatable preparation method is required.
W.G. Beaumont can remove degraded coatings and corrosion as part of refurbishment, maintenance painting and recoating programmes.
Surface preparation can be planned around coating specifications, hold points and inspection requirements before application begins.
