Blastco, a company specializing in the application of industrial coatings, has consolidated its presence throughout the United States thanks to its comprehensive technical approach. From its base in Channelview, Texas, the company deploys specialized crews on projects ranging from storage tanks and pump stations to subway and aboveground pipelines.
Accurate methodology in the field
Brian Lowman, the company’s Project Manager, explained that each project begins with equipment assembly and surface preparation using shot blasting, an essential process to ensure coating adhesion. The team then completely cleans the structure before applying the coating and lining systems, thus optimizing the durability of the materials.
The duration of the work varies according to the size of the structure, for example, a 120-foot diameter tank may require up to 30 days. This type of careful planning allows us to maintain quality and meet deadlines.
Customized solutions, with certified backing and multi-sectoral application
One of Blastco’s main differentials is its flexibility to adapt to the technical requirements of each client. The choice of products, which may include brands such as Carboline, PPG or Sherwin-Williams, depends directly on the scope defined in each contract. This customized approach ensures compliance with particular industry standards and specifications.
The company also holds AMPP QP-1, QP-2 and QS-1 certifications, which guarantee quality and safety in every execution. In addition, it performs work in sectors such as oil, water treatment, transportation and industrial manufacturing, as well as offering services of fire protection and lead abatement, positioning itself as a complete supplier in maintenance and repair of metallic surfaces.
Technology and efficiency as pillars
Blastco incorporates paperless documentation technologies, facilitating quality control and real-time traceability. Thanks to these tools, it improves internal communication and increases operational efficiency in projects of high technical complexity.
