Shot blasting is an essential process to ensure the longevity and quality of your structural steel, and we are here to provide fast, reliable, and cost-effective solutions tailored to your project needs.

Shot blasting is the process of cleaning and preparing the surface of steel by propelling abrasive material at high speeds, effectively removing rust, scale, paint, and other surface contaminants. For builders and construction companies, shot blasting offers the following benefits:

Why Chose Shot Blasting?

Corrosion Resistance

By removing impurities and creating a clean surface, shot blasting helps your steel components resist rust and corrosion, extending their lifespan.

Enhanced Appearance

A freshly blasted steel surface provides a clean, professional appearance, ideal for projects where aesthetics matter.

Improved Adhesion

Shot blasting ensures that coatings, paints, and primers adhere more effectively, creating a smoother and more durable finish.

Surface Strengthening

The process can also improve the structural integrity of the steel by reducing surface stresses, leading to stronger, more resilient materials.

Our Shot Blasting Process

At Builders Beams R Us, we use state-of-the-art shot blasting equipment to handle a wide range of structural steel components. Our team of experienced professionals carefully prepares each beam, column, or frame to meet your specific requirements.

Initial Inspection

We begin by inspecting each piece of steel for damage, contaminants, or imperfections. Ensuring the shot blasting process will be as effective.

Shot Blasting

Using high-powered machines, we blast steel shot or grit at the surface of the steel to remove any rust, old paint, and other contaminants.

Final Preparation

After the blasting is complete, we perform a final check to ensure the steel is ready for any additional treatments, such as priming, galvanizing, or painting.
