Professional Abrasive Blasting & Surface Prep

At Gemstone, our abrasive blasting services—also known as industrial sandblasting—use high-pressure abrasive media to remove rust, old coatings, scale, and contaminants from structural steel, pipelines, tanks, concrete, or equipment. The result? A thoroughly surface-prepped substrate that boosts coating adhesion and longevity. 

Advanced Mobile & On‑Site Blasting

We offer both mobile wet/dry blasting and in-shop blasting. Our wet (dust-suppressing) and dry systems deliver superior results while protecting your site from debris and minimizing environmental impact. 

Media Profiles for Precision

From steel grit and aluminum oxide—valued for their aggressiveness—to glass bead or walnut shell for gentler finishes, we select media to achieve the exact surface profile needed for your coating system. 

Key Benefits of Abrasive Blasting

·       Improved Coating Performance – Blasting removes all contaminants and roughens the substrate to ensure coatings adhere properly and resist premature failure. Up to 80 % of premature coating failures are due to poor surface preparation. 

·       Faster, More Efficient Prep – Faster than manual or chemical cleaning methods, reducing project timelines and labor costs. 

·       Versatile Material Compatibility – Works on steel, concrete, wood, masonry, and more with customizable media profiles. 

·       Cost-Effective & Eco-Friendly – Reusable blasting abrasives cut waste; wet blasting minimizes dust and environmental impact.
