Surface Preparation and Abrasive Cleaning

We cover every industry from Steel and Pharmaceutical, right through to Energy from Waste. We offer a complete bespoke solution for each project, creating a tailored plan as either a one-off clean or a scheduled maintenance service.

Shot Blasting

Shot blasting is ideal for steel and ferrous metals ready for inspection, or deep clean. Our teams have extensive experience which allows them to deliver in a safe and timely manner regardless of the size of project.

Dry Ice Blasting

Dry Ice Blasting is an industrial cleaning process in which particles of solid carbon dioxide are propelled at high velocities to impact and clean, but not remove a surface. No other form of industrial cleaning is as versatile as dry ice blasting for decontamination solutions.

• Cleans without surface erosion
• Dramatic savings in man hours and personnel exposure to hazardous chemicals
• Eliminates potential damage to machine parts
• Eliminates secondary waste streams
• Reduces downtime with minimal disassembly
• Eliminates blasting media entrapment and drying time
• Eliminates electrical and bacterial problems
• Reduces overall cleaning time

We have successfully applied this technique in the following roles:

• Turbine rotor and blade cleaning
• Electrical motor cleaning
• Fan cleaning and within the food manufacturing industry

July 2021 - I would like to personally thank you and your teams efforts in supporting [client] delivery of the 2021 Annual Outage, as with 2020’s Outage the team were very client focused and got the job done with minimal support from the site team which makes our lives that much easier to focus on the other work fronts and emergent work. If I could issue medals for key players during the outage both [supervisor] and [supervisor] would receive one, whenever asked to look at another job or safety issue they did not hesitate in assessing what was needed and provided a solution to get the job done, two outstanding leaders within a competent and safety conscious team.

June 2021 - Where to start… The Intech team have behaved in the most accommodating, professional and effective manner. The finish achieved has been superb. I could go on, but to summarise I have been very impressed by the whole team. [Operative] was great and they upheld our safety standards to the satisfaction of our on site H&S officer. Our next outage will be starting September 2021. Can you accommodate for similar work scope but also include – Boiler & Economiser Shot Blasting? Thanks for the great work by your team. We look forward to welcoming them back.

July 2020 - During our outage Intech have carried out an incredible amount of work as directed and under the watchful eye of your Lead Supervisor Andy Woodward. I just wanted to let you know that the entire team that you sent are a credit to your company. They have worked incredibly hard and maintained complete professionalism throughout what has been a challenging time. At no point did they complain or moan about anything even when the situation and the conditions were not ideal (Mark almost evaporating in the extreme whilst doing the walking floor and feed screw springs to mind!!). All of the work was completed to a very high standard which is evident in the pictures. I would be grateful if you could pass on our thanks to all the team and we look forward to working with you again in the future.
