Blasting, Stripping, and Inspection

Abrasive blasting projects highly compressed air and an abrasive agent (steel grit, sand or powdered abrasive) at high pressure to smooth a rough surface, roughen a smooth surface or literally “blast away” any paint, dirt or surface contaminants. This preparation allows for a better application of protective coatings and paints and is one of the most economical and effective methods of combating corrosion, chemical attack and wear.

HMG’s large workshop allows its experienced blasters and painters to work in a controlled environment, limiting the chances of defects getting into the finished product. HMG remains at the forefront of technology and is adept at the selection and application of high-performance coating systems such as polyureas, elastomers and specialist wear resistant coatings.
