AmTech delivers precision abrasive blasting and surface preparation for industrial storage tanks of all sizes and materials. Our engineer-trained crews use advanced blasting techniques and specialized media to remove corrosion, scale, and old coatings down to the exact surface profile required for maximum lining adhesion and long-term tank protection—minimizing downtime and extending service life by decades.
Comprehensive abrasive blasting and surface preparation solutions for every tank type, substrate, and service environment.
High-pressure dry sandblasting using garnet, aluminum oxide, or steel grit media to achieve SSPC-SP5 White Metal or SSPC-SP10 Near-White blast profiles on steel tanks, removing all rust, mill scale, and contaminants for optimal lining adhesion.
Dust-suppressed wet blasting ideal for occupied facilities and sensitive environments, combining water with abrasive media to clean tank surfaces while minimizing airborne particulates and environmental impact during surface preparation.
High-pressure water blasting for removing loose coatings, biological growth, scale, and surface contaminants from concrete and fiberglass tanks without damaging substrate integrity—perfect for potable water and wastewater applications.
Precision verification of blast profiles using replica tape and digital gauges to confirm surfaces meet SSPC, NACE, and ASTM specifications required by your chosen lining system—ensuring maximum coating performance and longevity.
Custom media selection including crushed walnut shells for delicate fiberglass substrates, glass beads for smooth finishes, and hardened steel shot for heavy corrosion—tailored to your tank material and project requirements.
Complete abrasive blasting and steel repair of AST tank bottoms in preparation for DuraChem® or fiberglass floor pan installation, addressing underside corrosion, perforations, and structural failures per API Standard 653 guidelines.
Surface preparation isn't just blasting—it's the foundation of every successful tank lining project. AmTech's field engineers evaluate each tank on a case-by-case basis, determining the optimum approach based on substrate material (steel, concrete, fiberglass, FRP), corrosion depth, humidity levels, and environmental factors. Our crews measure and verify ambient temperature, dew point, and surface profile before any lining proceeds, ensuring your tank achieves maximum adhesion and decades of corrosion-free service. With 55+ years of proven expertise and proprietary lining systems including HydraStone®, DuraChem® 500 series, and Armor Shield® coatings, we eliminate premature coating failure and costly rework.
55+ years of sandblasting excellence for Fortune 500 companies, municipalities, and industrial facilities across all 50 states.
Industry-leading surface preparation backed by engineer-trained crews and proprietary lining systems.
Our field teams are led by engineers and NLPA Special Inspectors who understand substrate science, coating chemistry, and environmental compliance—not just equipment operators.
Own experienced crews deployed nationwide across the US, Canada, and Caribbean with rapid mobilization for emergency projects and scheduled facility shutdowns.
We blast to the exact profile required by our own proven coating systems—HydraStone®, DuraChem® 500 series, and Armor Shield®—ensuring seamless integration from prep to protection.
Best warranty program in the business backs every sandblasting and lining project, protecting your investment with comprehensive coverage and guaranteed performance standards.
Engineer-led field teams with decades of hands-on experience.
CS Project Engineer / NLPA Special Inspector
Greg Comeau serves as AmTech's Customer Success Project Engineer and holds credentials as an NLPA Special Inspector, bringing specialized expertise in tank inspection protocols, regulatory compliance, and advanced surface preparation methodologies. With direct oversight of field operations across multiple states, Greg evaluates complex tank environments to determine optimal blasting methods, media selection, and surface profile requirements for each unique project. His technical background ensures that every abrasive blasting and lining project meets or exceeds SSPC, NACE, ASTM, API, and NLPA specifications. Greg works directly with facility managers, engineers, and maintenance teams to minimize downtime, address emergency failures, and extend tank service life through precision surface preparation. Available for project inquiries and technical consultations at 603-315-8839 or gregc@amtechtanklining.com.
Tank blasting, also called abrasive blasting or sandblasting, is a mechanical surface preparation process that uses high-pressure air or water to propel abrasive media (such as garnet, aluminum oxide, steel grit, or walnut shells) against a tank's interior or exterior surfaces. This removes rust, mill scale, old coatings, corrosion, and contaminants down to bare substrate. The process creates a uniform surface profile—measured in mils—that provides the anchor pattern necessary for tank linings and coatings to achieve maximum adhesion, preventing premature failure and extending tank service life by decades.
