Structural steel is the backbone of industrial facilities, storage tank support systems, and critical infrastructure. At Canada West 653 Solutions, in partnership with MW Coatings, we deliver specialized coating systems engineered specifically for structural steel applications in Western Canada's demanding environment.
Our steel structure coatings provide comprehensive protection against corrosion, weathering, chemical exposure, and fire while maintaining structural integrity and aesthetic appearance. From new construction to maintenance recoating, we deliver consistent quality backed by decades of experience.
Multi-coat systems with zinc-rich primers and high-performance topcoats provide long-term corrosion protection in atmospheric, chemical, and marine environments.
UV-resistant systems engineered for Western Canada's extreme temperature cycling, moisture, and freeze-thaw conditions. Superior color and gloss retention.
Intumescent and cementitious fireproofing systems that protect structural steel from fire damage, meeting building code and insurance requirements.
Evaluate steel condition, existing coatings, corrosion extent, and environmental exposure to develop optimal coating strategy and system selection.
Remove rust, mill scale, and contaminants through abrasive blasting to achieve SSPC-SP10/NACE 2 (near-white metal) or specified standard for maximum coating adhesion.
Apply zinc-rich or epoxy primer system within specified window after blasting. Primer provides corrosion protection and adhesion foundation for subsequent coats.
Apply intermediate and topcoat layers per system specifications. Each coat provides additional barrier protection, UV resistance, and aesthetic finish.
Measure film thickness, conduct holiday detection, verify adhesion, and document all work. Ensure compliance with specifications and provide warranty documentation.
Corrosion can compromise structural integrity and safety. Protective coatings prevent steel degradation, maintain load capacity, and ensure long-term structural performance.
Investing in quality steel coatings prevents costly structural repairs, reduces maintenance frequency, and extends asset life by decades. Prevention is far more economical than replacement.
Fireproofing coatings meet building codes and insurance requirements. Corrosion protection maintains structural safety and prevents catastrophic failures in critical applications.
High-performance topcoats maintain color and gloss for years, keeping your facility looking professional. UV-resistant systems prevent chalking and fading in Western Canada's intense sunlight.
