Answers to the questions employers and candidates ask us most often.
Sandblasting, known technically as abrasive blasting, uses a pressurised stream of abrasive media to prepare, clean or reshape surfaces. It is fast, effective and potentially hazardous, so it calls for skilled, safety-conscious operators.
What abrasive blasting is used for
- Smoothing rough surfaces
- Roughening smooth surfaces to create a coating profile
- Shaping surfaces
- Cleaning hard surfaces
- Removing old paint, coatings, rust and contaminants
Why experience matters
Blasting is carried out at high pressure and speed. Experienced operators achieve the specified surface cleanliness and profile efficiently, protect themselves and others, and reduce rework and incidents on site.
