What We Offer

Abrasive Blasting

We offer professional abrasive blasting in Cairns, effectively removing rust, old coatings, and surface contaminants. Our process ensures optimal preparation for protective coatings, extending the lifespan of industrial, marine, and commercial assets while improving surface adhesion for long-term durability.

UHP Water Jetting

Our ultra-high-pressure (UHP) water jetting in Cairns provides precise cleaning and coating removal without abrasive materials. This environmentally friendly method is perfect for industrial, marine, and civil infrastructure, delivering efficient, non-destructive surface preparation while minimising downtime.

Two-Pack & Epoxy

We apply industrial-grade two-pack and epoxy coatings in Cairns, offering exceptional resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and weather exposure. These coatings are designed to protect metal and concrete surfaces, ensuring long-term structural integrity and durability in demanding conditions.

Polyurea

Our polyurea coatings in Cairns provide a seamless, impact-resistant protective layer for equipment, flooring, and industrial infrastructure. With rapid curing and superior flexibility, polyurea is ideal for waterproofing, chemical resistance, and surface reinforcement in various applications.

Intumescent Production (Fire Coatings)

We apply intumescent fire coatings in Cairns, ensuring steel structures and industrial facilities meet fire safety regulations. These coatings expand under high heat, forming a thermal barrier that enhances fire resistance and slows heat transfer.

Hot Metal Spray

Our hot metal spray solutions in Cairns deliver robust corrosion protection and wear resistance for steel components, pipelines, and marine structures. This advanced coating technique extends asset longevity, making it suitable for harsh industrial and environmental conditions.

Polyurea Linings

We provide polyurea linings in Cairns, offering exceptional waterproofing and impact resistance for industrial tanks, machinery, and concrete surfaces. These high-performance coatings deliver superior protection against chemicals, abrasions, and harsh weather.

Vacuum Loading

Our vacuum loading services in Cairns safely and efficiently remove industrial waste, sludge, and debris. With high-powered suction technology, we ensure environmentally responsible disposal while maintaining workplace cleanliness and operational efficiency.

Onsite Services

We deliver mobile onsite services in Cairns, including abrasive blasting, UHP water jetting, and industrial coatings. Our fully equipped team provides surface preparation and protective coatings directly at industrial, commercial, and infrastructure locations.

Sugar Mills

Our surface preparation and coating solutions in Cairns help sugar mills maintain operational efficiency by removing corrosion, scale, and contaminants. These treatments protect processing equipment from moisture damage and extend machinery lifespan.

Ports

We offer specialised coatings and surface treatments for ports in Cairns, helping marine infrastructure withstand saltwater exposure. Our services prevent corrosion and deterioration, ensuring long-term durability for vessels, docks, and port facilities.

Commercial & Building

Our commercial surface protection services in Cairns safeguard buildings against corrosion, weather damage, and general wear. We enhance steel, concrete, and exterior structures with high-quality coatings for increased durability and resilience.

Civil & Infrastructure

We provide expert surface preparation and industrial coatings for civil and infrastructure projects in Cairns. Our services help protect bridges, pipelines, and public works from environmental exposure, corrosion, and long-term wear.

Government & Council

We support government and council infrastructure in Cairns with high-performance surface treatments for roads, public buildings, and marine structures. Our protective coatings reduce maintenance costs and extend the life of critical assets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas do you service?

Waters Abrasive Blasting Services provides a wide variety of blasting and surface coating services for Cairns and the surrounding areas, including Edmonton and Gordonvale. Contact us to confirm whether we service your specific location.
Is abrasive blasting safe for all surfaces?

Abrasive blasting is safe for many surfaces when the correct media and pressure are used. Hard surfaces like steel and concrete tolerate high-pressure blasting with aggressive media such as steel grit or garnet. Softer surfaces, including wood and delicate metals, require lower pressure and less abrasive media like soda or walnut shells. Improper blasting techniques can cause pitting or etching, which is why experienced operators carefully select media and settings. Protective coatings, surface hardness, and environmental conditions must be considered. When done correctly, abrasive blasting effectively cleans and prepares surfaces without causing structural damage or excessive material removal.
What is the difference between dry and wet abrasive blasting?

Dry abrasive blasting uses compressed air to propel media onto a surface, effectively removing rust, paint, and contaminants. It is widely used in industrial applications but generates dust, requiring containment measures. Wet abrasive blasting, also known as dustless blasting, combines water with abrasive media to reduce airborne particles. This method is preferred in environments where dust suppression is necessary, such as urban or enclosed areas. Wet blasting also reduces heat buildup, minimising warping on metal surfaces. The choice between dry and wet blasting depends on the project's location, environmental considerations, and the type of surface being treated.
How does dustless blasting work?

Dustless blasting mixes water with abrasive media, reducing airborne dust and containing contaminants within the wet slurry. This method is particularly useful for working in confined spaces or public areas where dust control is essential. The water helps cool the surface, reducing heat-related issues such as warping on metal. It is highly effective in removing paint, rust, and coatings from a variety of materials, including steel, concrete, and wood. Since dustless blasting produces less mess, cleanup is easier compared to dry blasting. It is also more environmentally friendly because it prevents dust and hazardous materials from becoming airborne.
