From surface profiling to corrosion removal, our comprehensive abrasive blasting solutions prepare your tanks for optimal coating performance.

Tank Surface Preparation

Complete assessment and execution of dry abrasive blasting, wet blasting, or hydroblasting to achieve SSPC-SP5 White Metal, SP6 Commercial, or SP10 Near-White profiles. Critical foundation for all successful coating and lining projects.

Abrasive Blasting & Sandblasting

Professional cleaning, de-scaling, and rust removal using media-matched abrasive blasting. Garnet, glass beads, walnut shells, and steel grit options for steel, concrete, and fiberglass substrates with verified surface profiling.

Hydroblasting & Water Blasting

High-pressure water blasting for removing loose coatings, biological growth, scale, and contaminants without substrate damage. Ideal for occupied facilities and environmentally sensitive sites.

Chemical Cleaning Services

Specialized chemical cleaning methods for tanks with heavy contamination, product residue, or environments where mechanical blasting is restricted. Prepares surfaces for coating application and inspection.

Surface Profile Verification

Precision measurement of achieved surface profile using replica tape and digital gauges. Verification of ambient temperature, dew point, and humidity to ensure optimal conditions for lining adhesion and coating success.

Tank Bottom Floor Pan Prep

Complete tank bottom cleaning, ultrasonic thickness testing, corrosion mapping, and steel repair welding. Surface preparation for DuraChem® or fiberglass floor pan installation per API Standard 653.

Frequently Asked Questions

What surface profile standards does AmTech achieve with sandblasting?

AmTech achieves industry-specified surface profiles including SSPC-SP5 White Metal Blast, SSPC-SP6 Commercial Blast Cleaning, and SSPC-SP10 Near-White Blast Cleaning depending on the lining system requirements. Our crews use replica tape and digital profile gauges to verify that the achieved profile matches the specification, ensuring maximum coating adhesion. Profile depth is matched to the specific lining being applied—whether DuraChem® 500 series polylining, HydraStone Alkrete® cementitious lining, or other coating systems—to prevent premature failure and optimize long-term tank performance.
