Structural Steel

Protecting the Core of Your Industry.

Steel is the foundation of buildings, structures and manufacturing plants; its maintenance is critical to safety, asset longevity and reduction in total costs. The gradual corrosion of steel structures eventually leads to expensive asset maintenance or the replacement of:

  • I-beams, box beams
  • Support columns
  • Girders and joists
  • Rails
  • Lighting and transmission towers
  • Pipe racks
  • Web beams
  • Decking, plates
  • Super structures

Sponge-Jet technology allows for the protection of these assets with less cost and fewer business interruptions, while providing extended coating life and extended maintenance intervals.

Features & Benefits

  • Simplified job staging
  • Protected integrity & reliability of nearby equipment
  • Blasting on operating equipment
  • Improved worker health & safety
  • Increased structures & assets availability
  • Minimized liability & regulatory issues

  • Structural Steel Beams

    From parking garages to industrial buildings - from stadiums to churches - Sponge-Jet blasting is used to prepare structural beams for coatings and fire insulation.

  • Structural Steel and Sculpture High Above Boston

    Forty stories above Boston, the roof top sculpture and support structure of this skyscraper were stripped of prematurely failing paint. Very minimal containment was required due to Sponge-Jet's low dust and rebound suppressing characteristics; Sponge-Jet's MicroContainment™ technology hindered job-site fugitive emissions and exposure to the passersby and neighborhood below.

  • Rehabilitating Structural Steel Near Machinery

    This US paper mill choose Sponge-Jet to prepare the building's structure for a new coating system. Composite Sponge Media™ abrasives allowed surface preparation in close proximity to rotating equipment. Containment was minor and utilized primarily to recover the sponge media for reuse.

  • Highway Bridge Beams, Weldseams and Structure

    Highway Bridges are always a challenge with limited staging areas, a desire to minimize traffic closures and to remove salt and other contaminates while preparing the steel. Sponge-Jet technology excels in these areas and allows for rapid deployment especially on small remote bridges with small staging areas.

  • I-Beams and Other Steel Structures

    In this marine terminal at a refinery in Mexico they used Silver 30 Sponge Media™ abrasives to prepare structural steel beams for a high-performance coating, which assures long life of the valuable building structure.

  • TITAN Crane Has its Structural Steel Refurbished

    After 50 years of service on the Panama Canal this TITAN crane required complete removal the corrosion and paint so that it could be recoated - for its next 50 years of Service. Sponge-Jet allowed many technicians from multiple trades to work while multiple blasters prepared the surface without damage or interruption.

  • Tank Mangers use Sponge-Jet to Restore Tank; Protect Environment

    Toa Baja Water Tank managers (Puerto Rico) specified Silver 16 Sponge Media™ abrasives for surface preparation because of the structure’s proximity to the ocean, a public library, school and local church. They were concerned with the high risk of environmental contamination.

  • Amusement Park Maintenance: Look New and Never Close

    Structural columns near a play center prepared using Sponge-Jet Silver 30 Sponge Media™ abrasive and painted at night before guests arrive. This famous park never wants to close an area and maintenance is paramount to maintain safety and so guests areas are always clean.

  • Structural Steel, Support Beams and Roof Decking

    Within an operating building it is difficult to contain the effects of abrasive blasting. As a result, power tools or water blasting are often specified, but don’t result in the same long-term coating performance. In these cases the use of composite Sponge Media™ abrasives is ideal to achieve quality results without the mess.

  • Power Tooling vs Abrasive Blasting for Surface Prep

    Power tooling is a method of surface preparation commonly used in tight spaces where access is limited. Pneumatic, electric, and hand tools such as angle grinders, needle guns, wire wheels, wire brushes, scrapers, and sanding pads can be used to remove rust, paint, and other contaminants from a surface.

  • Sponge Media and the Marine Industry

    Both Freshwater and Saltwater vessels see all sorts of contaminants and corrosion throughout their service life. Corrosion can threaten everything on ships, from power gen and water storage tanks, to their general structural integrity. In order to overcome these threats, proper surface preparation is key.
