Shot Blasting Equipment for Construction Industry
Stronger Structures Start with Superior Surface Treatment
In the construction industry, durability and reliability are non-negotiable. From structural steel to concrete surfaces and heavy-duty equipment, components must withstand extreme stress, weather exposure, and constant use. Surface Technologies’ shot blasting equipment delivers high-performance solutions that prepare, strengthen, and restore construction materials with precision and consistency.
Structural Steel Preparation for Coating & Corrosion Resistance
Poor surface preparation is one of the leading causes of premature coating failure. Structural steel used in bridges, high-rise buildings, and modular construction must be properly cleaned and profiled before paint, powder coating, or galvanization is applied.
Our shot blasting equipment removes mill scale, rust, and contaminants, creating the ideal surface profile for protective coatings to adhere effectively and last longer.
Applications include:
- I-beams, H-beams, and support columns
- Steel plates for bridges and skyscrapers
- Prefabricated sections for modular builds
Shot Peening for Strength & Fatigue Resistance
Construction materials face heavy loads, vibration, and constant mechanical stress—leading to metal fatigue and potential failure over time.
Our shot peening process uses controlled impact to introduce beneficial compressive stress on metal surfaces, improving their resistance to cracking and increasing long-term strength.
Key applications include:
- Suspension bridge cables and tension rods
- High-strength bolts and construction fasteners
- Load-bearing reinforcements in steel structures
Concrete Surface Preparation & Texturing
Concrete coatings and overlays rely on solid adhesion to prevent delamination and wear. Smooth or contaminated surfaces result in costly rework and reduced lifespan.
Our shot blasting equipment prepares concrete floors and surfaces with uniform roughness, enhancing bonding for sealants, coatings, or epoxy systems.
Common uses:
- Flooring prep for waterproofing and epoxy
- Bridge decks and tunnels for resurfacing
- Precast concrete panels and decorative finishes
Weld Cleaning & Post-Fabrication Treatment
Welded assemblies often show slag, spatter, and discoloration that affect aesthetics and strength. Proper post-weld processing is essential to meet engineering and visual standards.
Our shot blasting systems efficiently remove welding residues and stress-relieve metal surfaces, resulting in clean, uniform finishes that support long-term durability.
Ideal for:
- Welded bridge components
- Construction machinery frames
- Prefab steel structures and modular systems
Heavy Equipment & Machinery Restoration
Construction equipment like cranes, bulldozers, and loaders experiences extreme wear, corrosion, and coating breakdown. Restoration is essential for performance and resale.
Our shot blasting equipment strips rust, paint, and grime quickly and thoroughly, preparing machines and components for refinishing or repair.
Applications include:
- Equipment refurbishment and repainting
- Restoration of scaffolding, formwork, and tools
- Cleaning of heavy-duty machinery parts
