specialist blasting and painting

Clyde Corrosion offer a specialist blasting, paint and coating service, with custom facilities at our Westway base. Here they offer a trusted range of product finishes to a range of sectors – from oil and gas and nuclear, to construction and renewables.

The team are also on hand to deliver expert blasting and painting on site, with satellite or pop up options also available for longer-term projects. 

Quality assurance is paramount to all that we do. Our quality procedures for blasting, coating and painting are rigorous and we work to ensure every finish meets our client’s exacting standards. Our Safety procedures have been formed and developed to cover the specific risks associated with our work and the expectations of our clients.

We are committed to safety & risk management at all stages of a project from concept through to detailed design and implementation to deliver a system fit for purpose. This is achieved through our phased approach to design and development together with a safety assessment process (HAZOP) to ensure that potential hazards are captured early in the design development phase and that risk reduction measures are implemented to ensure that the remaining risks are considered to be as low as is reasonably practicable (ALARP). We hold ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 accreditation with DNV GL and industry recognised inspection certificates with NACE International and Icats correx.  Our IT systems are protected and accredited to Cyber Essentials Plus.

SERVICES TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS

We offer a very large, dedicated blast bay with automatic grit blast recovery systems – this enables us to maintain optimum efficiency whilst effectively recycling the blast media.

Depending on the system and our client’s requirements we offer a variety of grades of finish and blast profiles including Chilled Iron Grit, Olivine, and Glass bead, ensuring you receive the most cost effective, yet proven solution.

  • Olivine : A natural mineral abrasive which contains no free silica, ideal for blasting stainless steel and special alloys
  • Chilled Iron (S330): A very recyclable material which breaks down on impact. It creates a rapid cleaning action and is used in our Tilgmans Wheelabrater
  • Glass bead: A very versatile material used for De-burring, Decarbonisiing, and Mould and Die cleaning
  • Steel Shot and Grit (SM325): A mix of circular ball shot, and angular grit is used to create the best cleaning on the steel, removing contaminants, rust, and scale.
  • Steel Grit (Pro 45): Fast cleaning and re-usable angular blasting abrasive. We use this material in our large Blast Chambers to achieve profiles 70-95 microns. Ideal for metal spraying.

We offer a unique tractor and trailer loading facilities, perfectly suited for larger or intricate loads. For smaller or more standard loads, we are also perfectly placed to service your needs.

We can carry out epoxy painting, glass flake, intumescant 60, 90 + 120 minutes, anti fouling, metalspraying and high decorative finishes.

Our automatic Tihlman Wheelabrator is perfectly suited for this type of work, producing an even, clean surface, in a fast, proven and consistent manner.

We hold industry recognised inspection certificates (Iccor and Nace) enabling us to offer a number of additional services in partnership with these bodies:

  • On Site Inspections
  • Corrosion Surveys
  • Advice on Specifications
  • Guidance on Methods of Application

SERVICING ALL SECTORS

Specialist blasting and painting is important across sectors, driven by amongst other things, legislative regulations, environmental factors and operational requirements:

  • Oil and gas: The North Sea provides some of the harshest conditions and subsequently some of the biggest challenges for coatings providers. Whether its topside or sub-sea, we can offer the best coatings system available to ensure your equipment is finished in a way to meet the rigours of it’s environment; this will in turn extend the valuable assets’ life expectancy.
  • Nuclear: The Nuclear Industry by its very nature brings its own set of challenges, with extremely tight specifications and high demands for conformity the coatings system has to be the very best. We are expertly placed to complete projects in very tight timescales with no margin for error, as is required with Nuclear power stations refurbishments.
  • Construction: To cope with the demands of the volume of structural steel currently being used as Scotland rebuilds its aging housing and educational stocks we offer an automated blast chamber which is designed to process steel to a high quality, with a high degree of operational efficiency.
  • Renewables: The Renewables sector represents an opportunity for Scotland to forge ahead in the drive towards clean and affordable energy. We are well placed to utilise our extensive experience, gained in the oil and gas sector, to offer tested, trusted coatings to withstand the harsh conditions found in this sector.
