Gemstone Industrial Services

Comprehensive industrial solutions delivered with safety, precision and proven performance — every job, every time, across North America.

01

Abrasive Blasting

Surface prep that makes coatings last.

High-pressure abrasive media removes rust, old coatings, scale and contaminants from structural steel, pipelines, tanks and concrete. Up to 80% of premature coating failures trace back to poor surface preparation — we eliminate that risk with mobile wet/dry blasting and in-shop capability.

  • Mobile wet (dust-suppressing) and dry blasting systems
  • Media matched to the exact surface profile — steel grit to walnut shell
  • In-shop blasting for fabricated components
  • Reusable abrasives cut waste and environmental impact

Coatings & Linings

The core trade — 25 years deep.

Epoxy, polyurethane, polyurea and vinyl ester systems that protect steel, concrete, equipment and piping against corrosion, abrasion, chemicals and UV. Tank and pipe linings engineered for critical service — potable water, chemical storage, wastewater.

  • Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) for pipelines and reinforcement
  • Interior tank linings for product integrity
  • High-performance exterior systems for harsh exposure
  • AMPP QP1 & QP3 accredited application, field and shop

Concrete Repairs

Structural restoration with minimal downtime.

Cracking, spalling, scaling and joint failure in plants, warehouses and infrastructure — restored with epoxy crack injection, polymer-modified mortars and resurfacing that return structural integrity and safety.

  • Epoxy crack injection and structural patching
  • Polymer-modified mortars and resurfacing
  • Pile jacket installation for marine structures
  • Joint repair and protective sealing

Containment

SSPC Class-1A enclosures, engineered per project.

End-to-end containment for blasting, coatings and hazardous-materials work: Class-1A enclosures, negative-air systems with HEPA filtration and climate control — fully compliant with SSPC, OSHA and EPA standards.

  • SSPC Class-1A engineered enclosures
  • Negative-air pressure with HEPA filtration
  • Tarps, shrink-wrap, screens and sandblast curtains
  • Dehumidification and climate control

Fireproofing

Passive protection, cementitious and intumescent.

SFRM and IFRM systems that deliver up to 3 hours of thermal protection for structural steel, concrete, piping and equipment — engineered passive fire protection that meets code without sacrificing finish.

  • Cementitious (SFRM) spray-applied systems
  • Intumescent (IFRM) paint-like architectural finishes
  • Structural steel, piping and equipment
  • Code-compliant thickness verification
Fireproofing
08

Industrial Insulation

Hot, cold and cryogenic — jacketed or spray-applied.

Complete mechanical insulation for piping, tanks, vessels, boilers and equipment — finished with metal jacketing and lagging, plus removable covers, heat tracing and CUI programs. Where a jacketed system isn't the right fit, spray-applied ceramic and aerogel coatings (20–200 mils) keep surfaces below OSHA's 140°F touch threshold with nothing to trap moisture.

  • Mineral wool, fiberglass and calcium silicate systems
  • Aluminum, stainless and PVC jacketing, fabricated to fit
  • Removable blankets, heat tracing and winterization
  • Corrosion under insulation (CUI) inspection, repair and prevention
  • Spray-applied thermal coatings for personnel protection

Safe, compliant removal, encapsulation and disposal of lead-based coatings on bridges, tanks, steel structures and facilities — serving DOTs, municipalities and industrial clients nationally for over 25 years.

  • AMPP QP2 certified hazardous paint removal
  • HEPA recovery, negative-air and lead-safe enclosures
  • EPA-certified inspection and risk assessment
  • Licensed hazardous waste disposal (RCRA / TSCA)
