Proposal Drawing of booths layout

The completed booths were constructed in extremely close quarters, with less than 18” of clearanceState-of-the-art Dust collection system

SolutionWith very limited space available, BlastOne designed and installed a blast room, paint booth, paint kitchen, and abrasive vacuuming system to fit into an impossibly small area.

ResultsSteffes’s blasting and painting operations have successfully migrated inhouse.

Nearly all manufactured materials are finished onsite, lowering project costs and increasing competitive advantages.
