Facilities Maintenance Coating & Repair Services

Roofing, anti-slip surfacing, concrete repair, and corrosion protection for buildings and plant infrastructure.

Overview

AAS in Facilities Maintenance

A plant runs on more than its process units. Roofs over the control room, the walkways your operators cross at shift change, the loading-bay slabs, the handrails on every stair, and the structural steel holding it all together are the assets that fail quietly and then fail expensively. AAS works on that infrastructure the way we work on production equipment. We do it in place, on a maintenance window, with cold-cure systems that need no hot-work permits and no return trip to the shop. Roofs leak. Walkways lose grip. Concrete spalls. Steel rusts. Over more than 25 years on Louisiana, our factory-trained and factory-certified Belzona applicators have learned that facilities work is won or lost on scheduling and surface prep, not on chemistry. We weatherproof, resurface, rebuild, and protect. Then we hand the area back the same day wherever the cure allows. With a 0.89 EMR and 24-hour on-call service, we handle the leak at 2 a.m. and the planned recoat that has to fit inside one shift.

AAS repair and protection work in Facilities Maintenance
Roofs, gutters, and the building envelope

Built-up and single-ply roofs lose their seal first at penetrations, seams, and upstands. UV and thermal cycling pry the membrane open there and let water reach the deck. We do not reroof to fix that. AAS applies a cold-applied liquid membrane by brush and roller over the prepared roof, with no hot work near sensitive equipment or occupied space below. Active drips get sealed and the roof stays watertight. The hardest details are the ones that move. Gutter linings, parapet copings, metal flashing, and roof protrusions are places where dissimilar materials meet and movement reopens a leak path every season. We seal each of those transitions with a flexible membrane that follows the substrate instead of fighting it.

Cracks and high-movement areas get a high-elasticity bridging membrane that stretches with the structure rather than splitting over it. On exterior masonry and facades, we coat prepared walls with a breathable waterproof barrier that sheds water while still letting trapped vapor escape. That is what stops the freeze-thaw spalling and staining that destroys a building face. Insulation cladding gets the same attention, since leaking jacketing at seams and support legs is how corrosion under insulation starts on the pipe underneath.

Walkways, stairs, and traffic floors

Worn aggregate, oil tracking, and process spills drop floors, stair treads, ramps, and platform decks below safe slip resistance. That is a fall waiting to be reported. AAS applies cold-cure safety-grip coatings to walkways, stairs, ladder rungs, and access surfaces, and the area reopens to foot traffic the same shift. For front-of-house and public spaces, we hold the same slip-resistant aggregate in a color-matched finish, so the floor stays safe without looking like a back-of-plant deck. Near electronics or flammable atmospheres, we install static-dissipative systems that bleed charge to ground through a controlled path.

High-traffic floors take a different kind of beating. Forklift wheel paths, loading-bay edges, and joint shoulders crater under constant traffic until the slab breaks up and material handling slows. We rebuild worn loading bays and resurface those floors with a hard-wearing topping, then reopen the bay to forklift and pallet traffic within the shift. Aged expansion and building joints get resealed with a flexible compound that bonds to concrete, stone, and brick and flexes with the joint instead of pulling loose at the edge.

Concrete structures, pits, and containment

Spalled slabs, cracked walls, and deep concrete loss expose rebar and weaken the structures, channels, and openings spread across a facility. AAS rebuilds and resurfaces that concrete cold, from crack patching to bulk-fill deep repair, so the structure stays in place instead of getting broken out and recast. Where reinforcing bar is already exposed and corroding, we clean and prime the steel before rebuilding the cover, which breaks the corrosion cycle that drives repeat spalling. Sidewalks and exterior slabs that crack with every freeze-thaw cycle get a weather-durable composite that bonds to damp concrete and reopens the walkway within hours.

The wet, confined spaces are where downtime hurts most. Elevator pits collect groundwater, lubricant, and cleaning chemicals that spall the concrete and pool water near electrical components. We rebuild the pit floor and walls and seal them with a chemical-resistant lining, returning the elevator to service inside a maintenance day. Bund walls and secondary containment get rebuilt at the spalled face, capped with a barrier coating, and lined to the worst-case spill, so the facility holds the volume its SPCC plan requires. Where the work touches drinking water, we use materials certified for potable contact.

Infrastructure steel and what it adds up to

Weather, condensation, and atmospheric corrosion strip paint and galvanizing from structural steel, handrails, supports, and skids. It always starts at edges and welds. AAS blast-cleans the steel and applies a zinc-rich barrier coating to beams, handrails, supports, and electrical structures, and the structure stays in service while the recoat interval extends. Corroded or pulled-out handrail anchors are a safety problem of their own. We re-bond the post with a cold-cure structural adhesive and re-chock the foot into a reset socket, so the rail returns to service with no hot-work permit and no post replacement. External pipework, valves, fittings, and tank walls get the same in-service treatment, resetting the corrosion clock without taking the line down.

The through-line is uptime. Louisiana refiners, petrochemical producers, and marine operators bring us facilities work because the repair happens in place, on their schedule, and reopens fast. A roof that stops leaking, a walkway that holds grip, a slab that carries traffic again, and steel that sheds water are not headline jobs. They are the ones that keep a site running safely between turnarounds. AAS does that work cold, on a 24-hour call, and hands the area back ready to use.

Learn more
Gasket, seal, and shim casting

Irregular flange faces and legacy machinery need gaskets, seals, and shims at thicknesses no catalog part matches.

Learn more
General metal-loss rebuilding composites

Metal loss from corrosion, erosion or pitting retires equipment once it reaches a code-trigger thickness, and weld build-up adds heat distortion.

Learn more
Gutter, flashing and roof-detail sealing

Gutter linings, parapet copings, and metal flashing details fail at dissimilar-material joints where movement and corrosion open a water path inside.

Learn more
Handrail anchor and fixture re-bonding

Corroded or pulled-out handrail anchors and loose fixtures create fall hazards on stairs, walkways, and platforms where the socket has rusted out.

Learn more

Condensation pools at duct low points and joints, corroding HVAC ductwork from the inside out before the original coating lasts a building life cycle.

Learn more
Insulation jacketing and lagseal protection

Insulation cladding leaks at seams, support legs, and penetrations, letting water reach the pipe and hide active corrosion under the lagging.

Learn more
Liquid roof membrane and leak repair

Built-up and single-ply roofs lose their seal at penetrations and seams under UV and thermal cycling, letting water reach the substrate.

Learn more
Low-friction pipe support liners
