Inspection & Assessment
Careful inspection by an industrial coating expert is key to identifying issues and vulnerabilities before they cause extensive damage. While there are obvious signs of problems like peeling or bubbling paint, cracks, and rust, our trained professionals can spot more subtle signs indicating the existing coating or structure is compromised. As with most things, it is typically far less costly and disruptive to address issues at the very first signs of concern.
Industrial Cleaning & Coating Maintenance
Moisture, debris, and contamination on the paint film often kickstarts the corrosion process. We safely and completely remove these contaminants through industrial power washing and cleaning, an essential part of protecting and extending the life of silo and tank coatings and their underlying substrates.
From overdue deep cleanings to routine scheduled power washing maintenance, you can rely on McCahill Painting's hot water power washing services and technical cleaning expertise.
Exterior Painting & Protective Coatings
Our highly durable industrial coating systems are formulated to withstand challenging environmental conditions and demanding industrial settings. We match our surface preparation methods and coating selections to the specific substrate, contents, environment and safety requirements of each storage structure.
Of course, the right coating system alone won't do much unless it is applied correctly to a properly prepared surface. McCahill Painting technicians are highly skilled in industrial surface preparation techniques including abrasive blasting, rotoblasting, power washing, grinding, sanding and detailed hand tool preparation. And we diligently apply all coating systems exactly per manufacturer specifications. This level of skill and attention to detail are critical to achieving optimum coating performance and protection of high-value storage assets.
Beyond straigtforward protective coatings, our team can paint logos and designs to showcase your brand, apply markings for safety, and paint any surrounding structures for a cohesive and professional overall appearance.
Interior Tank Linings & Coatings
We apply high-performance industrial-grade coating and lining systems to protect the integrity of silo and tank structures and the valuable contents they hold. Advanced corrosion-resistant tank linings, when applied properly, create a powerfully protective barrier that prevents leaking, chemical erosion, corrosion, evaporation, and any reaction between the contents and the substrate.
Once an interior tank or silo lining is in applied, it is essential they be inspected regularly and maintained with care to ensure long-term durability and protection.
Rust & Corrosion Control
Corrosion is an ongoing threat to most industrial infrastructure due to exposure to corrosive agents including moisture, chemicals, and atmospheric contamination. Protective coatings and maintenance cleaning are essential to preventing rust and corrosion and extending the life of industrial tanks, silos and other storage infrastructure.
Our experts can specify and apply a protective coating to prevent corrosion, and perform routine inspections and power washing to remove corrosive contamination and debris and identify any issues before they become major headaches.
If corrosion and damage has already occurred, our skilled technicians can carefully remove the rust and remedy the root problem so it does not worsen or return. This is an essential step before repainting or lining to ensure the substrate is sound and in optimum condition for the new coating to adhere properly.
Painting & Maintenance of Adjacent Structures
To fully protect and renew your silo and tank facility, our team can restore and paint support structures, railings, ladders, fencing, stairwells, doors, buildings, and other adjacent components. As with tank linings and coatings, we have the knowledge and experience necessary to properly restore and paint a wide variety of substrates including concrete, steel, metal, brick, stone, wood, and more.
