We Provide Sand Blasting Services in the Bay Area

When you need sandblasting services in the Bay Area look no further. We possess the engineering expertise, mobile sandblasting equipment, and our staff is confined-space certified to tackle any project you might have.

In addition to our mobile sand blasting equipment we also have at our disposal portable plural component sprayer equipment to not only prepare your steel or concrete surfaces but completely reline or coat your water or chemical tanks including tractor trailer tanks.

No matter what surface you need sand or abrasive blasted we can help you determine the appropriate abrasive to use for the job. By carefully selecting your blast medium we are able to provide whatever surface profile is demanded for the project.

We have experience with stainless steel sandblasting service which requires additional expertise due to the hardness of stainless steel. Surface profile measurements are critical with stainless steel sandblasting services due to the high risk of poor adhesion from a bad anchor profile on the substrate surface, but we have the experience and knowledge needed to ensure a quality product. We perform a battery of tests using ASTM and NACE standards to test the profile of the blasted surface before a new stainless steel tank lining or coating is applied

Abrasives and Sand Blasting Bay Area

We provide scientifically engineered abrasive to match your situation. We take time to evaluate what should be removed and what needs to be kept. We evaluate the Mohr Hardness values of abrasives versus the substrate we are sandblasting. Abrasives we use come in various grits and sizes and include: brown fused aluminum oxide, white aluminum oxide, garnet, walnut, cob and more.

After working with our professional crew this is what Timothy G from Phillips 66 had to say:

“The crew you sent out were great and did an excellent job . It is always nice towork with a professional group that knows what to do and how to do it.”

Choosing Materials for Fabrication of Tanks, Water Tank Linings and Coatings

Water storage is an integral part of many industries and requires careful consideration to minimize risks and adhere to government standards. So, it’s not hard to understand why tank fabrication is so important.

The way that you store your water, regardless of its unique properties, will have a direct impact on the quality of your operation. This is why we’ve compiled a list of some essential factors to consider before committing to a design or manufacturer. Read more »

One prime advantage of above ground water storage tanks is that they can be easily inspected and maintained. Many tank owners aren’t proactive though, which can lead to thousands of dollars in damages when the tank does need repairs or replacement. Learn more about what causes tank damage and how to prevent problems. A commercial fire water tank liner is an investment in your tank. Read more »

Commercial Coatings and Linings Prevent Early Tank Degradation

Fluid storage tanks are a crucial part of any industry and are used to hold anything from water to organic waste. Unfortunately, these tanks are in a constant state of deterioration thanks to corrosion. Even “simple” materials such as water will naturally corrode a metal tank over time, which will lead to problems such as leaking tanks, collapsing tank walls, and cross-contamination if tanks are used for more than one purpose. Many of these problems are inevitable results of using any storage tank for a long period of time, but many of them can also be mitigated by commercial coatings and tank liners. You will still need to invest in a tank leak repair service, but the right coatings and liners can extend the life of your storage tanks greatly. Here are just a few things to consider when it comes to using commercial coatings in your storage tanks. Read more »

As a local Bay Area business that relies on commercial water tanks, you need your tanks to remain in service for many years, resisting corrosion. Abrasive blasting for surface prep, prior to applying protective coating, makes long-term tank performance possible. By far, the best way to provide long-lasting corrosion resistance is through properly applied tank coatings, which create a protective surface for your stainless steel holding tanks. Read more »

Fire Water Tank Sizing for Fire Suppression

An adequate public water supply necessary for fire suppression is not always available, and in such cases a firewater tank can be used to aid in the suppression of fires which break out in either a residential or commercial setting. The tank sizing for such a firewater tank is important, because if it cannot meet the needs of fire suppression, the fire will not be contained, and it is likely that one or more buildings will be severely damaged as a result. Commercial firewater tanks in the Bay Area, as in other sections of the country, are generally sized according to a specific calculation which ensures there is sufficient water and water pressure to do the job.

Fire Water Tanks in the Bay Area Area Essential for Fire Response

Fire water tanks and the sprinkler systems they feed may not be the most visible elements of a structure, but they are absolutely essential for keeping people safe in the event of a fire. In fact, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has outlined strict requirements for tank inspections, with the goal of making sure that tanks remain able to supply water during an emergency.

Types of Commercial Firewater Tanks in the Bay Area

Industries, construction sites, hospitals, and other commercial properties are vulnerable to fires unless the proper steps are taken to ensure safety. For this reason, businesses are increasingly looking into the installation of firewater storage tanks in the Bay Area not only as necessary precautions, but also to comply with government regulations. Here are some of the benefits of installing firewater storage tanks and a look at the types of tanks available for commercial properties. Read more »

One Rincon Hill, San Francisco Firewater Tank Dual Purpose Design

There is a unique feature of the building at One Rincon Hill in the city of San Francisco, which is its Bay Area firewater tank, situated atop the high-rise building. Although it’s not the largest building in that city, One Rincon is definitely the tallest building outside the main business district, and it can easily be seen against the skyline, with its rounded cylindrical top. This building stands nearly 700 feet above San Francisco Bay, and it contains a feature that makes this high-rise tower very unique, the water tank which holds 50,000 gallons. Read more »
