Warehouse Line Removal Around Active Operations

We shot blast them off. The blaster throws steel shot at the line, breaks the paint loose, and pulls the chips and dust into a HEPA dust extractor as it goes.

The concrete under the old line comes out clean and lightly textured, which is what new striping or a coating needs to bond. Line removal and floor prep happen in the same pass.

Yes. Much of our line removal is done for striping contractors, including warehouse projects in Irving and Ennis. We remove the old striping and blast the new stripe paths, and your crew paints immediately after.

We don't sell or install striping, so the client relationship remains yours.

Often, yes. Thin epoxy, paint and sealers typically remove well with shot blasting, and the concrete is profiled for the next coating at the same time.

Thick, flexible, or heavily bonded coatings may need another method or extra passes. Send photos, and we will tell you what to expect before you schedule.

In many applications, yes.

Shot blasting can remove certain coatings, paint, markings, contaminants and surface material while profiling the concrete at the same time.

However, every floor is different. Thick, flexible or heavily bonded coatings may require another removal method or additional preparation before shot blasting.

Send photos and project information and we can help determine the appropriate approach.

Yes. Results depend on the material type, thickness, adhesion, number of layers, and concrete condition. Faint shadows or "ghosting" of old markings can remain even after the material itself is removed.

Yes. We plan around forklift and foot traffic, shutdown windows, nights, weekends, phased work zones, equipment that stays in place, power, and dust control, following your site's safety rules.

Depending on the project, yes.

Night, weekend and off-hour scheduling may be available to help reduce interference with normal facility operations.

Tell us your operating schedule when requesting an estimate so we can discuss the best approach.

Yes. We bring walk-behind and ride-on shot blasting equipment plus ride-on sweeping and scrubbing equipment, and we add help for larger projects. Square footage, floor condition, required CSP, access, and schedule all affect production rates and pricing.

Cracks, pitting, patches, failed repairs, weak concrete, and hidden coating layers sometimes don't show until prep begins. If what we find differs from the approved scope, we'll stop, show you, and price the added work on a written change order before doing anything beyond it.

No. BlastTex specializes in concrete surface preparation and cleaning.

We do not need to sell you a coating system to provide professional surface preparation. We can work directly with property owners, facility managers, general contractors and flooring/coating contractors to prepare the concrete for the next phase of the project.

We Prep. We Clean. You're Ready.
