Blasting & Steel Coating

Precision Steel Preparation and Protective Coatings

Shippy’s Rolling Plains Construction operates a state-of-the-art steel finishing facility covering 50 acres just outside of Phoenix, with 70,000 square feet under roof to maximize production and eliminate weather delays. Our SSPC-trained quality assurance team inspects each steel member with precision to ensure the highest level of quality and performance.

Our preparation process includes by-hand cleaning (SSPC SP1, SP2, SP3) and abrasive blasting (SSPC SP5 NACE1, SP6 NACE3, SP7 NACE4, SP10 NACE2) for the efficient removal of rust, coatings, and mill scale. Equipped with crane-fed and conveyor-fed wheel machines and a large manual blast area, we can handle steel members of any size or shape quickly and accurately.

We apply advanced protective coating systems including zincs, epoxies, polyurethanes, acrylics, alkyds, and polyureas using products from trusted manufacturers such as Carboline, Isolatek, Sherwin Williams, PPG, Tnemec, and International. Our experienced team selects the best coating to suit each project’s specific environmental conditions and protection requirements.

Our shop-applied intumescent fireproofing method allows complete control over surface preparation, coating, and re-coat times, creating a faster and more efficient process. Work that takes weeks in the field can often be completed within days in our facility, keeping schedules on track and quality consistent.

Rolling Plains Quality Control ensures every application meets or exceeds manufacturer specifications, providing durable, long-term protection for every project.
