What We Offer

Abrasive Blasting

In Gladstone, we carry out professional abrasive blasting to remove coatings, corrosion and contaminants. This process delivers clean, profiled surfaces that ensure strong adhesion and long-term performance of industrial coatings.

UHP Water Jetting

Our UHP water jetting services in Gladstone deliver high-pressure cleaning without abrasives. It’s a safe, effective method for stripping coatings or residue from concrete, steel and other surfaces with minimal environmental impact.

Two-Pack & Epoxy

We apply reliable two-pack and epoxy systems across Gladstone, protecting infrastructure, machinery and structural components. These coatings provide chemical resistance, durability and a smooth finish ideal for industrial or marine settings.

Polyurea

Our Gladstone polyurea applications create flexible, durable coatings that withstand harsh wear. With rapid curing and waterproof properties, polyurea is ideal for bunds, equipment trays, and exposed infrastructure surfaces.

Intumescent Production (Fire Coatings)

In Gladstone, we apply intumescent coatings to help steel structures meet fire safety standards. These coatings expand under heat, providing essential protection for load-bearing elements in commercial and industrial buildings.

Hot Metal Spray

We offer hot metal spray services in Gladstone, applying metallic coatings that resist corrosion in coastal or industrial environments. Perfect for pipelines, marine infrastructure and steel frameworks exposed to the elements.

Polyurea Linings

We install high-strength polyurea linings throughout Gladstone for chemical, abrasion and water resistance. Ideal for industrial tanks and spill containment areas, our linings provide seamless protection that cures fast and lasts.

Vacuum Loading

Our Gladstone vacuum loading services ensure efficient, compliant waste and sludge removal from plant rooms, tanks and confined spaces. We help businesses maintain safe, clean, and operational work environments.

Onsite Services

We offer full onsite surface preparation services in Gladstone, delivering mobile blasting, coating and cleaning solutions directly to your location. This reduces delays and keeps critical projects moving without transport disruptions.

Sugar Mills

We support the sugar industry near Gladstone with surface blasting and protective coatings tailored for high-moisture conditions. Our services protect mill components, extending service life and reducing unplanned maintenance downtime.

Ports

At Gladstone’s port facilities, we provide blasting and protective coatings for marine infrastructure. Our work helps guard against saltwater exposure, abrasion and corrosion in docks, vessels and heavy port machinery.

Commercial & Building

We service commercial buildings across Gladstone with surface prep and protective coatings. Whether concrete, steel or cladding, we enhance durability, resist weathering and help protect long-term structural integrity.

Civil & Infrastructure

In Gladstone, we support infrastructure development with surface treatments for bridges, overpasses, pipelines and more. Our blasting and coating solutions deliver long-term resistance to corrosion, UV and mechanical stress.

Government & Council

We assist Gladstone councils and government bodies with blasting and coating services for public infrastructure. Our team ensures assets are protected and compliant with safety and environmental requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Waters Abrasive Blasting Services provides a wide variety of blasting and surface coating services for Gladstone and the surrounding areas, including Calliope and Boyne Island. Contact us to confirm whether we service your specific location.
What are anchor patterns and how are they measured?

Anchor patterns are the microscopic peaks and valleys left on a surface after abrasive blasting. These patterns provide grip for coatings, improving adhesion. The depth of the profile is typically measured in microns or mils using tools like replica tape or surface profile gauges. The ideal anchor pattern depends on the coating system—thicker coatings may require deeper profiles for better hold. If the pattern is too shallow, the coating may not bond effectively. Too deep, and it can cause uneven application or coating failure. Understanding and matching anchor profiles to coating requirements is a key part of surface preparation.
Is abrasive blasting suitable for preparing concrete surfaces?

Yes, abrasive blasting is often used to prepare concrete surfaces before coating or sealing. It removes laitance, dirt, old paint, or sealants while opening the pores of the concrete to improve coating adhesion. This preparation method is particularly effective for epoxy coatings, linings, or anti-slip finishes. Care must be taken to avoid over-blasting, which can damage the surface or expose aggregate unnecessarily. Concrete preparation may also involve different media types compared to steel, such as crushed glass or sponge blasting. Abrasive blasting offers a clean, dust-free, and effective way to ensure coatings bond properly to concrete surfaces.
What factors determine which abrasive media is used?

The choice of abrasive media depends on several factors: the type of surface, the material’s condition, the desired profile, and the coating to be applied. For delicate surfaces, softer abrasives like crushed glass or plastic may be used to avoid damage. For heavy corrosion or hard steel, more aggressive media like steel grit or garnet are preferred. Environmental considerations, media recovery, dust levels, and cost also play a role. Each abrasive type has different hardness, shape, and density, all of which influence the finish. Selecting the right media is essential to achieving consistent, high-quality surface preparation results.
