Structural steel and handrail corrosion protection
Weather, condensation, and atmospheric corrosion strip paint or galvanizing from structural steel, handrails, supports, and skids at edges and welds.
What is failing
Weather, condensation, and salt air strip paint and galvanizing from beams, handrails, supports, skids, and electrical structures, starting at edges and weld seams where coatings are thinnest. Rust spreads under the old film and section loss follows if the steel is left bare. Replacing a corroded support or skid frame is costly and pulls equipment out of service.
How AAS does it
AAS abrasive-blasts the steel to a clean anchor profile, then applies a zinc-rich barrier coating to beams, handrails, supports, and electrical structures in the field. A Belzona 5811 barrier coat or a zinc-rich primer such as 6111 gives galvanic and barrier protection in one cold-applied system. The crew coats around live equipment with no torch and no shop trip.
Typically applied with Belzona 6111, Belzona 5811, matched to the service conditions.
The structure stays in service and the recoat interval stretches well beyond the failed paint. Handrails, supports, and skids get a durable barrier against Louisiana weather.
How AAS delivers it
AAS performs Structural steel and handrail corrosion protection work for Power Generation, Facilities, and Manufacturing operations across Baton Rouge and Louisiana, cold-applied and in place wherever possible, on your turnaround schedule. Crews are factory-trained Belzona applicators, the repair system is matched to the service conditions it will see, and urgent failures are covered by 24-hour on-call response. The result is a permanent, engineered repair that returns the asset to service without the cost or downtime of full replacement.
