Energy / Industrial Sector Blasting
ABC provides comprehensive blasting solutions across the energy and industrial sectors, delivering precision surface preparation, contamination removal, restoration, and coating preparation for critical infrastructure and high-value assets. With over 70 years of combined experience, we undertake every type of blasting application across power generation, petrochemical, oil and gas, manufacturing, and heavy industrial facilities.
Our expertise covers everything from specialist steam turbine components to large-scale plant equipment and structural assets.
- Industrial & Plant Equipment
- Heat exchangers and condensers
- Valves, pipework, and pressure vessels
- Pumps and rotating equipment
- Structural steel and fabrications
- Tanks, ducting, and mechanical assemblies
We utilise a wide range of blasting media including glass bead, aluminium oxide, garnet, and specialist grit combinations, carefully selected to suit substrate material, contamination levels, and project specifications. All blasting parameters — including pressure, media grading, nozzle configuration, and stand-off distance — are tightly controlled to achieve the required surface condition without damaging parent material or altering tolerances.
Surface Preparation for Protective Coatings
We provide specialist abrasive preparation for protective coating systems in accordance with recognised industry standards including ISO and SSPC. Surface cleanliness grades, surface profile measurements, and contamination checks are verified and documented to ensure full compliance with project and coating manufacturer specifications.
Structured inspection regimes, defined hold points, and detailed reporting ensure complete traceability and consistent, high-quality results across all energy and industrial projects.
Aerospace Blasting Services
ABC provides precision blast cleaning services for the aerospace sector, where strict tolerances, surface integrity, and compliance with industry standards are critical. Our aerospace blasting processes are carefully controlled to ensure effective surface cleaning and preparation without altering component geometry, surface tolerances, or material properties. We understand that aerospace components demand the highest level of care, documentation, and procedural discipline.
Our capabilities include:
- Precision cleaning of turbine and compressor components
- Surface preparation for inspection and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
- Controlled oxide and contamination removal
- Surface conditioning prior to specialist coatings
- Cleaning of structural and mechanical aerospace components
We utilise fine-grade media such as glass bead and other approved abrasives, with tightly regulated pressure control and specialist nozzle configurations to ensure uniform, repeatable results. Surface condition and profile measurements are recorded where required, with full documentation provided in line with project and regulatory specifications.
All work is carried out by highly trained personnel operating under strict procedural controls and defined inspection hold points, ensuring compliance with aerospace quality expectations and traceability requirements.
Our experience in high-precision steam turbine and industrial blasting translates directly into the discipline and accuracy required for aerospace applications.
ISO ACCREDITED
We are ISO certified and operate with consistent processes and checks so you can rely on repeatable results across jobs, teams, and locations.
