Surface preparation is the foundation of any successful coating system. At Canada West 653 Solutions, in partnership with MW Coatings, we deliver industry-leading sandblasting and surface preparation services that ensure optimal coating adhesion, maximum lifespan, and long-term asset protection.
Our experienced team utilizes state-of-the-art equipment and proven methodologies to achieve NACE/SSPC surface preparation standards. Whether you need complete tank exterior blasting, spot repairs, or structural steel preparation, we deliver consistent quality that meets or exceeds industry specifications.
Power tooling and mechanical methods for localized repairs, tight spaces, and situations where abrasive blasting isn't practical. Ideal for maintenance and touch-up work.
Environmentally friendly method that suppresses dust, reduces abrasive consumption, and minimizes surface contamination. Perfect for sensitive environments and flash rust prevention.
High-production method for large-scale projects. Achieves aggressive surface profiles quickly and efficiently. Ideal for tank exteriors, structural steel, and new construction.
Evaluate substrate condition, access requirements, environmental considerations, and coating specifications to develop optimal surface preparation strategy.
Remove oil, grease, salts, and contaminants using appropriate cleaning methods. Ensure surfaces are ready for abrasive blasting operations.
Execute blasting using selected method (wet/dry/mechanical) to achieve specified surface profile and cleanliness standards per NACE/SSPC requirements.
Measure surface profile depth, verify cleanliness standards, document results, and ensure compliance with coating manufacturer specifications.
Coordinate with coating application team to ensure timely coating within specified window, preventing surface contamination or flash rusting.
Proper surface preparation accounts for 50% of coating system performance. Our methods ensure optimal adhesion and maximum coating lifespan, reducing long-term maintenance costs.
We meet or exceed NACE/SSPC surface preparation standards, API 653/650 requirements, and coating manufacturer specifications. Full documentation provided for compliance verification.
Investing in quality surface preparation prevents premature coating failure, reduces recoating frequency, and minimizes long-term asset maintenance costs. Done right the first time.
Our certified technicians have decades of combined experience in industrial surface preparation. We understand substrate behavior, coating requirements, and quality control.
