A blasting rig built around the one thing dry pots cannot do.
Bossier Sandblasting is an industrial wet sandblasting contractor based in Bossier City, Louisiana, serving the Ark-La-Tex. We strip heavy equipment, oilfield iron, structural steel, trailers, and fabrication-shop batches to bare metal with a water-driven abrasive rig, at published rates, with the dust suppressed at the nozzle. That is the whole business, and this page explains how we run it.
The method is the founding decision. This region’s steel mostly sits where a dry grit cloud is unwelcome: next to live pad equipment, in working yards, beside open businesses, inside mill fence-lines where dust is a fire word. The federal silica rules push the same direction for the operator’s sake. Wet blasting answers all of it in one move, so that is the rig we built.
Three habits we will not break
First, the rates are published. The cost page prints hourly, day, per-piece, and per-foot rates plus every adder, because a yard manager deciding whether to call deserves the math before the phone rings. Quotes come off that sheet and invoices match quotes.
Second, the profile gets measured. Coating warranties cite SSPC standards and profile numbers, so every blast gets checked with a gauge and the reading written down. The steel is half the deliverable; the number is the other half.
Third, nothing leaves bare. Wet-blasted steel flash-rusts in hours in this climate, so every strip ends with a rust-inhibitor rinse or a same-visit primer, chosen against the coating that comes next. It is the difference between a method with a reputation problem and a method done right.
The honest fine print
Suspect old coatings get tested for lead before they fly, positives run contained with documented disposal, and spent media never meets a storm drain. Booth-scale production dry blasting and deep-freeze winter work belong with shops set up for them, and we say so when a job fits that description.
