Protective Coatings for Wind Turbines
Mortlake Towers Protective Coatings

Depending on the size and accessibility of the structure, we can paint on-site or in a separate facility. This is ideal for applications such as the mining industry which often requires protective paint or coating application on large mobile objects such as excavator beams.

Capabilities:

  • Structural steel fixtures
  • Pipelines
  • Interiors of tanks and other pressurised vessels
  • Steel cables
  • Dams and hydraulic structures

As industries evolve, so do protective coating needs. We assess your environment and structure to find the best solution, whether it’s for flood abrasion, impact damage, carbonation, or metal corrosion.

At McElligotts, we continuously invest in new protective paint technologies to offer the most effective and durable solutions. By staying up to date with the latest products, we help minimise costs while maximising coating lifespan. Our team is skilled in everything from simple spray pot applications to advanced airless systems, ensuring long-lasting protection.

Featured Project

Victoria

Echuca-Moama Bridge Project

We were responsible for the abrasive blasting and application of the protective coatings to the bridge sections using an Akzonobel three-coat system – epoxy zinc, high build epoxy and polyurethane finish. Accessing the bridge sections can get quite high, so a rolling scaffold was constructed to assist works to the internal surfaces and another scaffolding was constructed to assist works to the external surfaces of the structure.

Safety and Skill Certification:

We take the safety of our operators and anyone else on site seriously. Senior supervisors in our team hold NACE Coating Inspector qualifications and our painters and blasters have completed a Cert III in Surface Preparation and Protective Coatings. If you require lead paint removal prior to the coating application, our team are equipped with the training and know-how to safely remove and dispose of it. Learn more about our lead paint removal and the safety measures we take when removing toxic coatings.

McElligotts has teams in Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales. If you require protective painting for your structure or industrial equipment, get in touch with us today.

Our friendly team will be more than happy to assist and answer any questions you may have about Industrial Protective Coating.

Services

Our services include addressing structural issues, advanced protective coatings, and precise applications for long-lasting durability.

Why is protective coating important for industrial structures?

Protective coatings extend the lifespan of structures by preventing corrosion, impact damage, and environmental wear. They create a barrier against moisture, chemicals, and other contaminants that can degrade materials over time. This is essential for industries such as mining, construction, and infrastructure maintenance, where durability is a priority.

What types of structures can be coated?

Our team applies protective coatings to structural steel, pipelines, pressurised vessels, steel cables, dams, and more. Whether on-site or in a controlled facility, we tailor the coating process to suit the material, accessibility, and environmental conditions, ensuring long-term durability and performance.

How do you determine the right protective coating?

We assess the environment, exposure risks, and material type before recommending a coating solution. Whether protection is needed against flood abrasion, carbonation, or corrosion, we use the latest industrial coating technologies to minimise costs and maximise durability. Our certified specialists ensure every application meets industry standards.
