Ice blasting companies

[paulgt]

Hi,

I'm renovating a large Dutch barge with a hold about 5m x 24m. The ribs needs a good blasting to get rid of surface rust.

I've got a water blaster with a shot blast attachment. I tried it on a test area and it worked fine but I'd prefer to not have to deal with the waste when doing the entire interior.

I've heart that an alternative to shot blasting is ice crystal blasting. Has anyone any experience of this or able to recommend a contractor?

The barge is in Hampshire BTW.

Thanks in advance for any pointers,

Paul

Regardless of the media used it will leave a filthy mess to be swept and vacuumed, although the likes of dry ice blasting will sublime and leave just rust and paint residue.

i would think it will cost a packet to get it ice blasted ,if u had it shotblasted with air and expendable grit and not wet sandblasted it would sweep up no bother

We used a company called Cryogenesis to clean the welding fixtures every 6 months, did a thread on it here, just tried to find the company and they seem to have disappeared
