How do protective coatings benefit industrial applications?

Protective coatings are essential for industrial applications as they provide a barrier against corrosion, wear, and environmental damage. They help extend the life of equipment, structures, and surfaces exposed to harsh environments. Our industrial protective coatings are designed to the specific needs of your project, offering long term protection, and helping to reduce maintenance costs.

What is involved in bridge blast and paint services?

Our bridge blast and paint services involve a thorough surface preparation process, inclusive of preliminary cleaning to remove contaminants, abrasive blasting and or mechanical cleaning to remove rust and old coatings. Then we apply specialised protective coatings to enhance durability and corrosion resistance. These services are crucial for extending the lifespan of infrastructure assets and maintaining safety standards.

How does aluminium protective coating improve performance?

Aluminium protective coatings offer excellent resistance to corrosion, especially in marine and industrial environments and particularly with high heat applications. This type of coating is lightweight and provides long-lasting protection, improving the performance and durability of surfaces. It’s a popular choice for structures exposed to harsh hot conditions.

What are the advantages of using paint protection films?

Paint protection film helps safeguard surfaces from atmospheric exposure to the elements, chemicals, moisture and salts and UV rays. It’s especially useful for both atmospheric and immersion services applications for structures and equipment, providing a layer of protection. The film also helps preserve the integrity of the substrate and can reduce cost and the need for structural replacement.

What services are included in concrete repair?

Our concrete repair services cover everything from simple crack repairs to complex concrete remediation projects largely in the water and wastewater industry. We offer structural tank repairs, pipe and tunnel repairs, and the installation of protective systems to secondary containment such as chemical bunds. Our experience ensures long-term durability and protection for your concrete structures.

How do corrosion protection coatings work?

Corrosion protection coatings act as a barrier between metal surfaces and environmental elements like moisture, chemicals, and UV rays. These coatings prevent rust and degradation, ensuring the longevity of structures and equipment. At McElligotts, we apply high-quality industrial protective coatings that are specifically formulated to resist corrosion in even the harshest environments and always in accordance with the standards.
