Project Spotlight: HC-130J Hangar at Patrick Space Force Base
Gemstone Industrial Services is proud to be part of the ongoing construction of the HC-130J
hangar at Patrick Space Force Base, a critical facility that will support mission readiness and
long-term operations. This large-scale project highlights Gemstone’s expertise in industrial
coatings, safety-driven execution, and commitment to quality on high-profile government
infrastructure.
Supporting a Mission-Critical Facility
Over the course of this project, the Gemstone team has completed painting for all structural
steel and commercial rooms within the hangar. The scope of work has required a disciplined,
detail-oriented approach to ensure durability and performance in a demanding environment.
Our crews have performed power tooling, containment construction, power washing, and
spray applications, carefully coordinating each phase to maintain efficiency while meeting
strict quality and safety standards. Every step has been executed with a focus on doing the job
the right way—no shortcuts, no compromises.
A Strong Safety Culture
Gemstone has been active on this project for more than two years, maintaining a
zero-incident safety recordthroughout that time. This milestone reflects the strong safety
culture on site and the daily commitment our team brings to looking out for one another.
Working in an active military installation requires constant awareness, communication, and
accountability. Our team’s ability to deliver consistent results while maintaining a flawless safety
record speaks to the professionalism and experience that define Gemstone Industrial Services.
Looking Ahead
We are proud to contribute to a project that will play an important role in supporting operations
at Patrick Space Force Base. With completion anticipated in 2026, we look forward to seeing
the HC-130J hangar fully operational and serving its mission for years to come.
Projects like this reinforce Gemstone’s role as a trusted partner on complex, long-term
infrastructure builds—where safety, quality, and reliability matter most.
