Commercial metal
A controlled surface-restoration project for structural steel within a commercial refurbishment. Birmingham Sandblasting carefully lifted tired coatings and accumulated contamination from columns and associated steelwork, revealing a sound, even surface ready for its next protective finish. The process was planned around the active work environment, with containment and considerate working methods helping protect adjacent areas.

What was needed
Prepare existing structural steel columns and connected elements by removing failing legacy coatings and surface contamination, while working neatly within the refurbishment setting. Use measured abrasive cleaning rather than unnecessarily aggressive blasting, with local protection, progressive checks and a consistent finish suitable for the specified coating system.
