Telecom Masts & Lattice Towers
Specialist Shot Blasting for Telecommunications Infrastructure
About This Service
Our specialist telecommunications tower shot blasting service provides comprehensive surface preparation for telecom masts, lattice towers, antenna supports, and associated infrastructure. We remove rust, old galvanizing, paint, and corrosion from tower components, preparing them for hot-dip galvanizing, protective coatings, or structural repairs. Whether you're refurbishing existing telecommunications infrastructure or preparing new tower sections for protective treatments, our precision techniques ensure optimal surface preparation for maximum corrosion protection and extended service life.
Key Benefits
Our Process
Structural Assessment
We inspect tower components to assess condition, determine appropriate blast media, and identify any structural concerns that may require attention before coating.
Component Preparation
Tower sections, legs, bracing members, and mounting brackets are prepared for blasting. Critical areas such as bolt holes and connection points are protected as required.
Shot Blasting
Using appropriate blast media and pressure settings, we systematically clean all tower surfaces to achieve optimal cleanliness for galvanizing or coating applications.
Quality Verification
We conduct thorough inspections to ensure all surfaces meet the required cleanliness and profile specifications for galvanizing or coating application.
Galvanizing Coordination
Cleaned components are transported to galvanizing facilities or coating applicators, with timing coordinated to minimize surface oxidation before treatment.
How to Prepare for Telecom Towers
Follow these steps to ensure your project runs smoothly
- 1
Request a Free Site Survey
Contact us to arrange a free, no-obligation site visit. Our team will assess the surfaces, confirm the blast standard required, and provide a written quote. Call 07970 566409 or use our online form.
- 2
Clear the Work Area
Ensure the surfaces to be blasted are accessible. Remove vehicles, equipment, or materials stored directly adjacent to the work area. A clear 2–3 metre perimeter around the blast zone is ideal.
- 3
Arrange Site Access
Confirm access for our mobile unit — typically a van or small lorry. Advise us of any height restrictions, locked gates, or site induction requirements so we can plan accordingly.
- 4
Notify Relevant Personnel
Inform your site supervisor, facilities manager, or health and safety officer that shot blasting work is scheduled. Ensure any affected staff are briefed on the work area and any temporary access restrictions.
- 5
Coordinate Coating Application
Arrange for protective coating or primer to be applied as soon as possible after blasting — ideally within 4 hours for steel surfaces. Discuss timing with your coating contractor in advance so there is no delay between blasting and coating.
Applications
