PDB project · Structural steel preparationSURFACE PREPARATION BUILT AROUND THE PROJECT
The right process for the surface, coating and specification.
Abrasive blasting can remove coatings, corrosion, and surface contaminants; create profile; expose architectural finishes; and prepare suitable substrates for coatings, repair, restoration, or construction. PDB evaluates the scope before selecting the process and abrasive media.
- Substrate type & condition
- Existing coating or contamination
- Desired finish
- Required surface profile
- Access & project logistics
- Surrounding conditions
- Project specifications

PDB projectCommercial Abrasive Blasting
Commercial sandblasting for construction, renovation, restoration, and recoating. Mobile preparation for steel, concrete, masonry, and other suitable substrates.
Illustrative service photoIndustrial Sandblasting
Preparation for industrial facilities, equipment, structural components, and protective coatings. Match the process to specified surface cleanliness, profile, and coating requirements.
PDB projectConcrete Surface Preparation
Profiling and coating removal for coatings, overlays, repairs, and restoration. Abrasive blasting, shot blasting, or another appropriate process is selected for the required result.
PDB projectStructural Steel Blasting
Remove corrosion, mill scale, failing coatings, and surface contamination before painting. Prepare steel to project-specified cleanliness and surface-profile requirements.
PDB projectPaint & Coating Removal
Remove suitable paints, epoxies, and coatings from compatible substrates. Coating type, thickness, adhesion, substrate condition, and hazardous-material considerations guide the process.
Illustrative service photoShot Blasting
Controlled mechanical preparation for suitable horizontal concrete and steel applications, including coating preparation and coating removal.
Illustrative finish photoArchitectural Concrete
Controlled aggregate exposure and decorative finishes on suitable precast and cast-in-place concrete. Representative test areas or mockups establish appearance before production.
Service application photoBrick & Masonry Blasting
Coating removal, cleaning, and restoration preparation for suitable brick, CMU, and masonry. Evaluate substrate condition, mortar joints, previous treatments, and desired appearance.

Soot.
Surface restoration.
Soda Blasting & Fire Restoration
Soda or other selected media may clean smoke residue, soot, light char, and fire-related contamination on suitable wood, masonry, and compatible substrates. The method depends on substrate, condition, contamination, appearance, and restoration objective.
Illustrative service photoTank Blasting
Interior and exterior preparation for suitable industrial coating systems. Plan access, ventilation, containment, surface cleanliness, profile, and coating requirements.

BUILT FOR COMMERCIAL PROJECT TEAMS
A surface-preparation partner for the trades that follow us.
PDB coordinates the blasting scope with the overall project: access, containment, work windows, adjacent trades, sensitive areas, coating specifications, cleanup responsibilities, and the needs of follow-on trades.
FROM DEMOLITION TO FINAL COATING
Surface preparation at multiple stages of construction.
Renovation & Tenant Improvements
Prepare exposed structural steel, concrete, and masonry during demolition, renovation, and adaptive reuse.
Recoating & Protective Coatings
Remove deteriorated finishes and prepare substrates for painting and industrial coating systems.
Facility Maintenance & Restoration
Address corrosion, failed coatings, buildup, and restoration conditions on suitable surfaces.
Architectural Finishes
Create controlled exposed-aggregate and specialty blasted finishes on compatible concrete and masonry.
PDB IN THE FIELD
Work performed in real project environments.
BEFORE MOBILIZATION
Define the scope before production begins.
