Pipeline blasting

Looking for precision surface preparation for pipes? When maintaining pipelines, ensuring a clean and properly prepared surface is critical for long-lasting coatings and operational safety. Pinovo’s Pipeline Blasting Solutions offer an innovative and dust-free approach that enhances precision, minimizes downtime, and reduces environmental impact. Whether you’re dealing with corrosion, worn coatings, or preparing a surface for new treatments, our tools ensure optimal results every time,even in ATEX-certified environments.

The challenges of pipeline maintenance

Pipelines face constant exposure to harsh conditions, including weather, chemicals, and mechanical stress. Over time, this leads to:

• Corrosion and wear on metal surfaces.
• Deterioration of protective coatings.
• Difficult-to-access areas in bends, tees, or flanges.
• Explosive Atmospheres: Common in oil and gas facilities, requiring ATEX-compliant equipment to ensure safety.

Traditional blasting methods often create additional challenges, such as dust contamination, safety risks, and extensive cleanup. Pinovo’s closed-loop systems address these issues while ensuring compliance with ATEX safety standards.
