NACE MembersSSPC CertifiedISO CompliantOSHA Compliant

MPC provides commercial sandblasting services for storage tanks, structural steel, heavy equipment, manufacturing facilities, bridges, marine assets, and coating-ready steel.

Whether your project requires NACE, ISO, or SSPC surface preparation, our crews verify profile, cleanliness, dust, salts, chlorides, and coating readiness before the next step begins. We can coordinate blasting and painting in one mobilization to reduce downtime and protect prepared steel from flash rust.

This page is the service hub for commercial abrasive blasting. Dedicated pages cover industrial sandblasting contractor scopes, tank sandblasting, and combined abrasive blasting and painting when the project needs more specific detail.

Our zero-silica media options, wet abrasive blasting, dust-control methods, and containment planning help keep active commercial sites safer and cleaner.

We are an Ohio-based contractor serving Midwest and nationwide commercial projects. We are not an equipment rental shop, DIY blasting resource, consumer auto/frame vendor, powder coating shop, or pressure washing company.

Tank Sandblasting

Tank Sandblasting

Exterior and interior storage tank blasting for coating removal, corrosion control, and recoating prep.

Tank sandblasting requires access planning, containment, corrosion assessment, surface profile control, and a coating sequence that protects prepared steel. MPC handles aboveground storage tanks, fuel and oil tanks, water and wastewater tanks, process tanks, and related industrial storage assets.

When coating is included, blasting can be coordinated with primer, lining, or exterior coating work to reduce exposure time between surface preparation and coating application.

  • Aboveground storage tank abrasive blasting
  • Fuel, oil, water, wastewater, and process tank prep
  • Interior and exterior coating removal where access allows
  • Profile verification for primers, linings, and topcoats
  • Containment and dust-control planning around active facilities
  • Storage tanks
  • Fuel and oil tanks
  • Water and wastewater tanks
  • Process tanks

Abrasive Blasting & Painting

Abrasive Blasting & Painting

Blast-and-coat coordination for steel, tanks, equipment, and facility assets.

Abrasive blasting and painting belong in the same project plan when steel needs to be cleaned, profiled, primed, and coated without avoidable delay. MPC can coordinate surface preparation, coating-system selection, environmental checks, DFT verification, and closeout documentation.

This is industrial and commercial coating work for durable assets, not powder coating, pressure washing, or residential refinishing.

  • Coating-ready abrasive blasting before industrial painting
  • Primer, intermediate, and topcoat coordination
  • DFT checks and surface cleanliness verification
  • Reduced flash-rust risk between blast and paint
  • Commercial and industrial coating-system support
  • Blast and prime
  • Blast and paint
  • Coating removal
  • Corrosion-control coating prep
Learn more
Structural Steel & Fabrication

Structural Steel & Fabrication

Surface preparation for structural steel, beams, fabricated assemblies, and infrastructure steel.

Structural steel blasting removes rust, mill scale, failed coating, weld contamination, and surface contaminants before new protective coatings are applied. MPC prepares steel to the requested SSPC/NACE profile so primers and coating systems have the right anchor pattern.

Work can be completed on-site or staged around fabrication, construction, shutdown, or coating schedules.

  • Structural beams, columns, frames, and platforms
  • Bridge, rail, utility, and plant infrastructure steel
  • Rust, mill scale, and coating failure removal
  • SSPC SP5, SP6, SP10, or project-specific prep
  • Coating-ready steel for primer and protective coatings
  • Beams and columns
  • Steel frames
  • Platforms and walkways
  • Bridge and utility steel
Equipment & Facility Assets

Equipment & Facility Assets

Blasting for heavy equipment, machinery, production assets, and plant surfaces.

Industrial equipment blasting removes old coatings, corrosion, buildup, and contaminants before repair, repainting, or return to service. MPC matches the media and pressure to the substrate, surrounding operations, and cleanliness requirements.

Wet abrasive blasting, dry ice blasting, dust collection, and containment can be considered when active facilities or sensitive equipment require tighter controls.

  • Heavy equipment and machinery preparation
  • Crane frames, production assets, and shop equipment
  • Rust, paint, and contaminant removal
  • Low-dust method selection for sensitive areas
  • Commercial facility surfaces and maintenance projects
  • Heavy machinery
  • Production equipment
  • Crane and equipment frames
  • Facility steel and surfaces
Public, Utility & Marine Assets

Public, Utility & Marine Assets

Surface preparation for public works, utility facilities, marine steel, and critical infrastructure.

Public works, utility, and marine assets often require tighter controls around containment, access, overspray, dust, debris, schedule windows, and coating compatibility. MPC prepares these surfaces for inspection, repair, coating, or long-term corrosion protection.

We support Ohio, Midwest, and nationwide projects where commercial-grade equipment, trained crews, and documentation matter.

  • Water and wastewater infrastructure
  • Bridges, rail, public works, and utility steel
  • Marine steel and coating-prep support
  • Wet abrasive and containment planning where required
  • Project documentation and quality-control checks
  • Water treatment assets
  • Utility steel
  • Marine structures
  • Public infrastructure

What Our Clients Say

Markley Precision Company was easy to work with and the quality of their work is second to none. I have used them on three separate projects and have been very pleased with the quality of work each time. No job seems to be too big or too small. I have used them to blast and paint a 30,000 gallon propane tank, and to blast and paint our vertical bulk storage vessels for nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. They've even done work for me on the Lake Erie Islands, as well, which presented logistical challenges, but MPC didn't miss a beat. I would recommend MPC 100 out of 100 times.

Matt Drennen

Very happy with the work completed so far with MPC. Last year, I had them paint 5 of our 30,000 gallon bullet tanks. The work was completed quickly and professionally. With a years worth of age on them now, they still look as good as new! I was so pleased with their work on the tanks, I hired them to complete an even larger, more complex project blasting and recoating a natural gas processing mechanical refrigeration unit. Even when some concerns came up, they quickly remediated the situation. Extremely happy with the work they've performed!
