Industrial Sandblasting in Austin, TX
Ace Sandblasting has delivered industrial surface prep across Texas since 1972. Pipelines, storage tanks, heavy equipment, steel structures, refineries, industrial vehicles. We know the standards, we have the equipment, and we work on active facilities.
Built for Industrial Work
Industrial surface prep is not commercial work scaled up. The blast standards are more exacting, the safety protocols are more demanding, and the consequences of coating failure are serious.
Our crews are trained in SSPC and NACE standards. Our equipment handles large surface areas, complex geometries, and confined space access. We coordinate directly with facility managers, maintenance engineers, and project owners. We show up on schedule, work to spec, and deliver results that hold up to inspection.
Our Industrial Services
Pipeline Sandblasting
Protective coatings are the primary defense against internal and external corrosion. Those coatings are only as effective as the surface beneath them. We blast to the SSPC and NACE cleanliness standards required by your coating system. Above-grade piping, fabricated sections, in-plant systems, joints, welds, and transitions all receive the same attention.
Heavy Equipment Sandblasting
Excavators, loaders, cranes, trailers, agricultural equipment, and industrial machinery. We strip every surface to bare metal and give the coating system a clean, properly profiled substrate. Recoating over a compromised surface is a short-term fix that creates a longer-term problem.
Equipment Rust Removal
Rust migrates under coatings and compromises base metal if left unchecked. We remove surface oxidation down to clean, bright metal at the cleanliness level your coating system requires, from SSPC-SP6 Commercial Blast through SSPC-SP5 White Metal.
Storage Tank Sandblasting
Interior and exterior blasting on above-ground storage tanks, process vessels, water storage structures, and chemical containment tanks. We work to the coating manufacturer's specified blast standard. Crews trained and equipped for confined space entry, elevated work, and active facility safety requirements.
Steel Structure Sandblasting
Industrial buildings, platforms, mezzanines, conveyor structures, overhead systems, and plant infrastructure. We remove everything down to base metal and create the mechanical profile required for your coating system to bond and perform. Documentation and quality records provided when required by contract.
Refinery Sandblasting
Process piping, vessels, structural steel, equipment pads, tank farms, and secondary containment. We understand active facility protocols, hot work permit requirements, and the coordination demands of working inside an operating plant.
Oil Rig Equipment Sandblasting
Drilling components, substructures, derricks, mud systems, and ancillary equipment prepped for high-performance coating. Equipment pulled from service for maintenance is the right time to address surface condition. We work efficiently to get it back out.
Industrial Vehicle and Fleet Sandblasting
Fleet trucks, tankers, utility vehicles, and industrial transport equipment. Rust, old coatings, and surface contamination removed completely. Repainting without proper prep just delays the same outcome.
Dump Truck Sandblasting
Bed interiors and exteriors stripped to bare metal. Ready for bed liner or protective coating. Significantly extends service life of the truck body.
24/7 Availability

Frequently Asked Questions
What blast standards do you work to on industrial projects?
We work to SSPC and NACE standards including SSPC-SP5 White Metal, SSPC-SP10 Near-White Metal, SSPC-SP6 Commercial Blast, and SSPC-SP7 Brush-Off Blast. The required standard is determined by your coating manufacturer and project engineer.
Can you work inside an active industrial facility?
Yes. We follow facility-specific safety protocols, hot work permit requirements, and operational constraints. Our crews coordinate directly with facility safety personnel and are trained for industrial site conditions.
Do you handle confined space work for tank interiors?
Yes. Our crews are trained and equipped for confined space entry. Storage tank and vessel interior prep are standard scope items for Ace Sandblasting.
Do you provide documentation and quality records?
Yes. For projects that require it, we provide blast inspection records, surface profile readings, and documentation of the cleanliness standard achieved. Standard practice on structural steel and coating application projects.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Call (512) 712-8229 for Austin or (210) 212-5711 for San Antonio. We assess surface area, material condition, required blast standard, access requirements, and project schedule before providing pricing.
