What We Offer

Abrasive Blasting

We provide expert abrasive blasting in Darwin, efficiently stripping rust, old coatings, and surface contaminants to restore materials. This method ensures optimal preparation for protective coatings, enhancing durability and extending the service life of industrial, marine, and commercial assets in harsh conditions.

UHP Water Jetting

Our UHP water jetting services in Darwin utilise ultra-high-pressure water to remove coatings, corrosion, and debris without abrasives. This precise and eco-friendly process is ideal for industrial, marine, and infrastructure projects requiring non-destructive surface cleaning and preparation.

Two-Pack & Epoxy

We apply industrial-grade two-pack and epoxy coatings in Darwin, designed to protect steel, concrete, and machinery. These coatings resist chemicals, moisture, and abrasion, offering superior longevity in challenging environments where durability and weather resistance are critical.

Polyurea

Our polyurea coatings in Darwin create a tough, seamless protective layer for industrial, commercial, and marine applications. These coatings cure quickly and provide exceptional resistance to impact, harsh chemicals, and moisture, making them ideal for waterproofing and heavy-duty surface protection.

Intumescent Production (Fire Coatings)

We apply intumescent fire-resistant coatings in Darwin, designed to expand under high temperatures, forming an insulating barrier that slows heat transfer. These coatings improve fire safety compliance while protecting structural steel and industrial assets from extreme heat exposure.

Hot Metal Spray

Our hot metal spray services in Darwin enhance the durability and corrosion resistance of steel structures, pipelines, and equipment. This process extends asset lifespan by applying a molten metal coating that protects against environmental wear, high temperatures, and chemical exposure.

Polyurea Linings

We provide advanced polyurea linings in Darwin, ensuring exceptional waterproofing, abrasion resistance, and impact protection. These coatings are perfect for industrial tanks, vehicle trays, and concrete surfaces, offering a long-lasting defence against extreme weather and operational stress.

Vacuum Loading

Our vacuum loading services in Darwin enable efficient removal of industrial sludge, waste, and debris. Using high-powered suction technology, we support environmental compliance while maintaining clean and safe work sites across a range of industries.

Onsite Services

We offer fully mobile onsite services in Darwin, delivering abrasive blasting, UHP water jetting, and protective coatings. Our team provides professional surface preparation and coatings at industrial, commercial, and infrastructure locations, ensuring minimal downtime for operations.

Sugar Mills

We help sugar mills maintain peak efficiency with advanced abrasive blasting and protective coatings. Our solutions, available in Darwin, remove rust, contaminants, and residue from processing equipment, preventing corrosion and ensuring smooth operational performance in humid and high-moisture environments.

Ports

Our surface treatments and coatings for ports in Darwin protect vessels, wharves, and marine infrastructure from saltwater corrosion. These high-performance coatings extend asset longevity, improve durability, and help minimise maintenance requirements in coastal conditions.

Commercial & Building

We provide premium coatings and protective treatments for commercial buildings in Darwin, enhancing steel, concrete, and structural surfaces. Our solutions prevent weather damage, reduce deterioration, and ensure buildings remain resilient against environmental exposure.

Civil & Infrastructure

We deliver professional surface preparation and industrial coatings for Darwin’s civil and infrastructure projects, ensuring that bridges, pipelines, and industrial structures remain protected from corrosion, heavy wear, and extreme climate conditions.

Government & Council

We support government and council projects in Darwin with expert surface treatments and protective coatings for roads, bridges, and public infrastructure. Our solutions extend asset lifespan, strengthen durability, and lower long-term maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas do you service?

Waters Abrasive Blasting Services provides a wide variety of blasting and surface coating services for Darwin and the surrounding areas, including Berrimah and Durack. Contact us to confirm whether we service your specific location.
What is the difference between powder coating and liquid coating?

Powder coating and liquid coating differ in application method, durability, and environmental impact. Powder coating is applied as a dry powder and cured using heat, creating a tough, uniform finish. It is highly resistant to chipping, scratching, and corrosion. Liquid coatings, such as paint or epoxy, are applied using brushes, rollers, or sprayers and dry through evaporation or chemical curing. While liquid coatings offer more colour and texture options, they may require multiple coats for durability. Powder coatings are more environmentally friendly, as they contain no solvents or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The choice depends on durability, application requirements, and aesthetic preferences.
What are the key differences between solvent-based and water-based coatings?

Solvent-based coatings contain organic solvents that help with application and drying, offering strong adhesion and durability. They are resistant to chemicals, moisture, and abrasion, making them ideal for industrial environments. However, they release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which require proper ventilation and environmental controls. Water-based coatings use water as the primary carrier, reducing VOC emissions and making them safer for use in enclosed areas. While they are more environmentally friendly, they may take longer to cure and can be sensitive to humidity and temperature changes. The choice depends on the project’s environmental considerations, performance requirements, and application conditions.
Why is it important to measure coating thickness?

Measuring coating thickness is essential to ensure durability, performance, and compliance with industry standards. A coating that is too thin may not provide adequate protection against corrosion, wear, or environmental exposure, leading to premature failure. Conversely, a coating that is too thick can lead to cracking, poor adhesion, and extended curing times. Thickness is measured using tools such as ultrasonic gauges, magnetic gauges, or micrometers. Regular monitoring helps maintain consistency and ensures that coatings meet specifications. Accurate thickness control is critical in industries such as marine, infrastructure, and manufacturing, where coatings play a vital protective role.
