THE PROCESS TO A GREAT OUTCOME
Most people only build a blast and paint facility once in their life-time, so we have designed a process that will guide you to the ultimate solution that fits your needs and budget. To0 often people engage an engineering company or the friend of a friend to specify what they need, before going out to companies like ours to ask for a 10ft x 40ft facility that will likely not always suit their long-term needs…
This industry is small and very niche and we follow a Design | Bid | Build methodology. Our process has been formulated over decades and always begins with a thorough assessment of your facility’s requirements, followed by detailed planning, design before construction.

Case Studies
STEFFES CORPORATION BRINGS FINISHING OPERATIONS IN-HOUSE, ENHANCING EFFICIENCY AND CONTROL
Steffes Corporation, a steel fabricator in North Dakota, transitioned its abrasive blasting and painting processes from subcontractors to an in-house setup. Collaborating with BlastOne, they designed and installed a blast room, paint booth, paint kitchen, and abrasive vacuuming system within a confined space. This move has reduced project costs and improved production scheduling, providing Steffes with a competitive edge.

Industry & Project Challenges
Pipelines need a durable and impermeable protective barrier to protect the surface from corrosion. These assets represent very high investments and if they become corroded sooner than expected, results in a loss of production and profits. Abrasive blasting is crucial to ensure the surface is ready for proper coating application and lengthening the life cycle of the coating.
Some common issues we’ve found from working with the industry:
-
-
High Maintenance Costs
Pipeline projects are often in very remote locations which will require all equipment to be transported to site. The whole site process, coupled with portability of equipment can be costly along with the restricted access to maintenance and repair equipment.
-
-
-
Delayed Project Timelines
Due to the remote locations of pipelines, any small delays due to incorrect equipment causes considerable downtime. This can create long-term delays to the completion of the project.
-
-
-
Workflow Disruptions and Labor Shortages
The joints of the pipelines must be welded before blasting or painting can begin. With labor shortages, project turnaround decreases.
-
-
-
Operator Safety Concerns
In-field blasting is typically around the piping joints, so the pipeline can be welded on site before it is put in the ground, particularly in the case of gas pipelines. Each weld needs blasted and coating of the weld margin usually a few inches either side of the weld. These pipelines are often buried, and if there is a pipeline failure, it is expensive to detect and repair a leak.
