ULTRA HIGH PRESSURE (40,000 PSI) WATER BLASTING
Our Robotic "Hydrocats" are self contained water blast systems which attach to the substrate surface via vacuum and travel over the surface as directed by a UHP Technician via remote control. This system recovers all the removed debris and water from the blasted surfaces and transfers it to a filtration unit for collection and disposal. We also offer the open lance method of water blasting via a hand held water jetting lance which is directed at the substrate to be cleaned by the UHP Technician. This method of water blasting may require some type of containment or barrier to collect and recover the resultant debris and water for disposal.
ABRASIVE BLASTING
As industry faces ever stricter environmental controls, we are setting the standard in containment procedures with leading-edge expertise in marine, offshore, nuclear, fossil, hydro and cogeneration utilities, and other industrial areas. Since 1992, United Coatings has incorporated state-of-the-art technologies to enhance traditional abrasive blasting practices. We offer a wealth of experience using all types of abrasives, including aluminum oxide, coal slag, copper slag, walnut shell, garnet and glass bead. United Coatings' specialty ventilation systems can be adapted for any confined space.
Our capabilities include full-service lead and other hazardous material abatement programs, with dehumidification equipment, dust collection and environmentally-safe recovery of hazardous materials, as well as mobile personnel decontamination facilities. United Coatings' equipment inventory meets or exceeds all OSHA, NIOSH and EPA Pollution Abatement requirements.

BLAST & PAINT BOOTH
In response to more stringent environmental concerns and regulations, United Coatings opened our new Hoffman blast and paint facility. This state-of-the-art facility can accommodate components up to 20 feet wide, 16 feet high, 50 feet long and 40,000 pounds in weight. This state-of-the-art, environmentally compliant facility can meet your surface preparation requirements using recyclable steel shot or a vast array of abrasives including garnet, glass bead, etc. A variety of coatings can be applied to meet your specifications, using airless or conventional spray.
RIGGING & CONTAINMENT
Nearly every coatings project requires a specific degree of environmental containment to control airborne dust particulate from surface preparation and paint spray emissions. United Coating's capabilities include state-of-the-art technologies in rigging and environmental containment design and controls. United Coatings innovative design and installation of scaffolding, removal of spent abrasive and specially designed containment systems enabled UCC to abrasive blast and preserve approximately 600,000 square feet of surface area on the USS Roosevelt (CVN-71) in record time. We specialize in turn-key offshore structure containment and project management.
United Coatings has nearly 6000 sections of suspended staging and numerous specially designed containments to protect the environment and the surfaces being treated. Whether it is scaffolding and containment systems for Off Shore Communication Towers, Airport Hangers or United States Navy Aircraft Carriers, United Coatings can accomplish the rigging and containment challenges necessary to accomplish environmentally safe and compliant surface preparation and painting.
