Unrivaled Surface Restoration for the Maritime Industry

The harsh marine environment constantly challenges the integrity of vessels. At Total Surface Solutions, we specialize in providing cutting-edge abrasive media blasting services specifically engineered for the unique demands of boats, ships, yachts, and marine infrastructure.

From meticulous corrosion removal on vital components to preparing large hulls for advanced anti-fouling coatings, our processes ensure optimal surface profiles. This extends asset life, enhances performance, and helps maintain compliance with stringent industry standards. Our dedication to precision and safety makes us the trusted choice for critical marine surface preparation.

Why Our Blasting Services Are Essential for Your Vessel

We understand the specific needs of marine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO). Our approach prioritizes precision, safety, and efficiency:

Dustless Blasting Technology: The Clean & Effective Solution

Our advanced Dustless Blasting equipment incorporates water with the abrasive, suppressing up to 95% of airborne dust. This is crucial for:

Dockside & Shipyard Safety: Significantly reduces respiratory hazards and visibility issues for technicians and nearby personnel.
Environmental Compliance: Minimizes particulate matter release into the air and water, helping you meet strict environmental regulations.
Contamination Control: Prevents abrasive dust contamination of sensitive marine equipment, machinery, and engine components on board.
Flash Rust Prevention: When working on metal, our wet process includes a rust inhibitor, leaving a clean, ready-to-coat surface without immediate flash rust.

Precision & Non-Damaging Techniques

We utilize a range of specialized media and pressures carefully selected for different marine substrates. Whether it's fiberglass boat hulls, delicate aluminum components, or robust steel structures, our methods ensure thorough cleaning and preparation without causing damage, warping, or compromising structural integrity.

Optimized for Coating Adhesion & Longevity

Proper surface preparation is the foundation of a lasting coating. Our blasting creates the ideal profile for new paint, primers, and specialized coatings (like anti-fouling), ensuring maximum adhesion and extending the protective lifespan of your vessels in harsh saltwater conditions.

Efficiency & Reduced Downtime

Our powerful and precise blasting equipment allows for faster stripping and preparation times, minimizing downtime for your valuable vessels. We work to get your boats and ships back in service quickly and safely.

Compliance & Quality Assurance

We adhere to industry best practices and can work within your specific maintenance protocols. Our goal is to provide a consistent, high-quality finish that meets or exceeds regulatory requirements.
