Industrial Coatings Services

Coating Application

Specialised coatings application is done by way of one of our many airless spray units ranging from 45/1 to 80/1 plus plural component, conventional, roller and brush.

Contract Resources have highly skilled teams assembled to match the requirements of each job:

• Certified Protective Coatings Inspectors (NACE & ACA trained) are certified in coating specification selection
• Technicians are assessed in blasting and painting to ensure the best result in the industry and further trained in confined space entry, EWP, rope access, offshore, and first aid

Surface Preparation

Removal of resins, rubber, bitumen, GRP, epoxy coatings and corrosion products is completed using the optimum method or combination of methods for each job.

• Environmental impact resulting from traditional abrasive blasting and HydroJetting techniques, to remove toxic coatings, is avoided using the UHP SpiderJet in conjunction with our proprietary waste containment and recycling system
• HP and UHP hydrojetting methods are also used for coating removal and surface cleaning when abrasives cannot be used due to dust restrictions and encapsulation is not possible
• Abrasive Blasting using the mega blast system allows four blasting nozzles to be run consecutively and continuously for 8 hours prior to refilling. Single and double blast hoppers are available for smaller works

Offshore Capabilities

All protective coating work can also be completed offshore. Our pump equipment and accessories are manufactured to meet the offshore oil and gas industry specifications and requirements, and technicians are Rope Trained; making scaffolding unnecessary.

This combination allows small, unobtrusive teams to complete large or difficult protective coatings operations efficiently and safely.

Equipment

Contract Resources has an extensive store of all standard and specialised equipment required for abrasive blasting and painting.

Ultra high-pressure pumps and accessories, like the Aquajet and the Spiderjet 3000, prepare surfaces for coating without the environmental problems associated with traditional abrasive blasting methods.

Waste is contained by special vacuum units so toxic materials like lead can be handled safely and economically while water is filtered for reuse; significantly reducing environmental impact.

Contract Resources prides itself at being more than a specialised services company, offering solutions to specific problems, not just the supply of labour and equipment.
