Mill scale removal, weld cleanup, and coating-ready surface prep for fabricated structural steel.
New fabricated steel comes off the shop floor with mill scale, weld spatter, heat discoloration, and surface oxides that will kill coating adhesion if they're not removed. Blasting is the only method that gets structural members, plate, and complex weldments to the profile coatings require — and it has to happen before the coating crew shows up.
Blasting Jack works directly with steel fabricators in Southeast Michigan to provide blast services on new fabricated steel. We can mobilize to your yard or facility, work around your production schedule, and deliver SSPC-SP6 commercial blast or SSPC-SP10 near-white metal finishes depending on what the coating spec calls for. For structural steel headed into bridge or industrial building applications, SP10 is typically required — we hit that profile consistently.
With 900 CFM air capacity and the ability to run four simultaneous blast setups, we can move through large batches of fabricated steel without becoming the bottleneck in your delivery schedule. We bring the equipment to you — no trucking your steel to a blast shop.
Wide flange beams, HSS tube, angles, channels, and columns all come off the line with mill scale. We blast full-length structural members in the yard before they go to paint or primer.
Flat plate, gusset plates, and base plates require consistent blast profiles. We deliver uniform surface prep across large plate quantities without the warping risk you get from chemical stripping.
Complex weldments with multiple connection points, stiffeners, and overlapping geometry require blast media that gets into corners and crevices. We select media and nozzle angles for full coverage.
Handrail, ladders, grating frames, and miscellaneous steel fabrications all require blast prep before galvanizing or coating. We handle batch quantities efficiently.
Structural steel stored outdoors develops surface rust that needs removal before it can be coated. We restore weathered stock to a clean metal profile ready for the coating system spec.
When field coating specs don't accept existing shop primer, we remove it before the coating crew applies the specified system. Cleaner than grinding and faster than chemical methods.
We regularly deliver SSPC-SP6 commercial blast and SSPC-SP10 near-white metal blast. For bridge and industrial structural applications requiring SP10, we hit that profile consistently. SP5 white metal is available on request for specialty coating systems.
Yes — we mobilize to your location. We bring our own equipment and don't require you to truck steel to an off-site blast shop. We need a staging area, access to the steel, and sufficient space to contain blast media and debris.
With 900 CFM air capacity and up to four simultaneous blast setups, we can move through significant volumes of structural steel efficiently. Contact us with your quantity and member sizes and we'll give you a realistic production rate estimate.
We work on fabricated assemblies — after cutting, welding, and fitting. Blasting plate before fabrication isn't practical because the cutting and welding process re-introduces scale and spatter. The right sequence is blast after fab, then coat.
