KABS provides abrasive blasting and protective coating services across a wide range of industrial assets. Our work spans large underground mining equipment, fixed plant and structural components, through to the transport industry. Every job is prepared and coated to client specification.
Surface preparation and protective coating of mining and processing assets. Heavy equipment, structural steel, tanks and pipework are prepared and coated to client specification to withstand Goldfields operating conditions. Work is carried out at our Boulder facility or on site, including planned shutdowns.
Abrasive blasting and protective coating carried out in our Boulder workshop. Transport, automotive and machinery components are stripped back to bare metal and restored to a durable, long-lasting finish.
Kalgoorlie Abrasive Blasting Services offers more than surface preparation and protective coatings. Our close working relationship with a fabrication and welding repair shop means we can organise repairs and modifications and protect your assets under one roof, reducing handling, turnaround time and downtime.
Every asset is inspected on arrival to assess its condition, existing coatings, corrosion and structural damage. We identify the scope of work required and organise any fabrication, welding or mechanical repairs before surface preparation begins, so the finished coating is applied to a sound, fit-for-purpose substrate.
Abrasive blast cleaning to the cleanliness grade and surface profile nominated in the coating specification. Abrasive media is selected to suit the substrate, its condition and the coating system requirements, producing a clean, uniform anchor profile for maximum coating adhesion.
Protective coating systems applied promptly after blast cleaning, before contamination or flash rusting can occur. Our capability includes high-build epoxy systems, UV-stable topcoats for maximum UV protection, abrasion and chemical resistant coatings. Each system is selected to suit the asset's service environment and applied in accordance with the manufacturer's data sheets and client requirements.
Assessment, repairs, surface preparation and coating are managed by one team, at our Boulder facility or on site. A single point of contact and controlled workflow eliminate double handling and transport between contractors, reducing turnaround time and keeping your equipment out of service for the shortest possible period.
