Sandblasting

Sandblasting Services for Industrial Surface Preparation

Performed On-Site or In-Shop. Ready For Inspection.

At Liquidmetal Industrial Solutions, we provide advanced sandblasting services—on-site and in-shop—to prepare equipment and components for accurate inspections and reliable mechanical or welding applications. 

Our teams operate across a wide range of high-demand environments, including:

  •  Power Generation
  •  Pulp & Paper
  •  Waste-to-Energy (WTE)
  •  Oil & Gas
 

With decades of experience in complex systems and critical equipment, we understand that inspection accuracy and weld quality begin with proper surface prep. Our sandblasting services are engineered to remove corrosion, scale, coatings, and other contaminants that interfere with defect detection and repair integrity.

Why Sandblasting Before Inspection or Repair?

Effective inspections and repairs require more than the right tools—they demand a clean, uniform surface. Our sandblasting process:

  • Exposes underlying flaws by removing paint, rust, and surface debris.
  • Improves NDE results by enhancing visibility for methods like MT, PT, and UT.
  • Prepares surfaces for welding and overlays by ensuring optimal adhesion and bond   strength.
  • Reduces turnaround time by streamlining the preparation process during outages or repairs.

On-Site or In-Shop: Full-Service Capabilities

Whether you need surface prep during a planned outage or want to minimize downtime by sending components to our facility, we’ve got you covered. 

Mobile Field Services

Our mobile crews perform field blasting at power plants, oil and gas facilities, mills, and other operational sites.
