Construction Site Sandblasting Projects
Structural Steel Preparation
Clean beams, columns, girders, and structural components before installation or coating. Remove mill scale, rust, and shipping damage. Meet coating specifications for structural steel used in buildings, bridges, and infrastructure across our service areas.
Concrete Surface Prep

New Construction Prep
Clean concrete block, poured concrete, and masonry before sealing or coating. Remove form oil, efflorescence, and construction residue. Critical for proper adhesion on new builds across our service areas.
Formwork and Equipment
Strip concrete residue from forms, mixers, and construction equipment. Clean tools and machinery between pours. Extends equipment life and improves concrete finish quality on job sites.
Masonry Restoration
Clean brick, stone, and heritage masonry without damage. Remove old mortar, paint, and biological growth. Restore character buildings and historic properties across our service areas.
Bridge and Infrastructure Work
Prepare bridge components, guardrails, and infrastructure steel. Remove corrosion and old coatings. Meet Ministry of Transportation specifications for projects throughout our service areas.

Why Contractors Choose Mobile Sandblasting
Benefits for Construction Projects
Keep Projects on Schedule
No waiting for materials to go off-site and return. We work at your construction site. Surface prep happens when you need it without delays.
Meet Coating Specifications
Achieve SSPC and contractor-specified surface profiles. Proper preparation ensures coatings perform as designed. Critical for warranty compliance and building envelope integrity in BC's wet climate.
Reduce Labour Costs
Sandblasting is faster than manual cleaning, grinding, or chemical stripping. One day of sandblasting replaces weeks of hand work. Keep labour focused on building instead of surface prep.
Work in Tight Spaces
Our mobile equipment reaches confined areas, elevated work, and difficult access points. Interior rooms, parkades, and job site constraints handled efficiently across our service area construction sites.
Environmentally Compliant
Contain dust and debris on active construction sites. Proper waste handling meets environmental regulations. Important for projects near sensitive areas and waterfront construction throughout BC.
