We blast cleaned over 1 kilometre of railings and repainted 4 pedestrian subways on the A-71 Calder Road for Edinburgh City Council.

QUEEN ELIZABETH BRIDGE A332 WINDSOR
We used our dry blast pot to remove graffiti from the Queen Elizabeth Bridge on the A332 from the M4 to Windsor in 2000.
A4146 STOKE HAMMOND BY-PASS
In September of 2006 we were asked by Alfred Mclpine plc to come and blast clean laitence from bridge footings prior to the concrete pour for the bridge supporting walls. We did this using our dry blast pot with Garnet media but we changed this to copper slag which was much faster. We were using the 3/8 nozzle and a 260cfm compressor. This worked very well and the work was completed within the time we had estimated, the customer was impressed and pleased. "Your grit blasting service provided an efficient alternative to using pneumatic scabblers to remove the laitence, eliminating the problems of hand arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) among operators." www.alfredmacalpineplc.com
