Industrial painting, coatings and specialized cleaning for facilities across North Dakota, covered by full-time Kelly crews from the Chicago service center.
North Dakota is a powerhouse of the American energy and agricultural sectors, characterized by the high-output Bakken Shale oil fields and some of the most productive farmland in the nation. From the sophisticated energy processing facilities in Watford City and Williston to the advanced agribusiness and manufacturing hubs in Fargo and Grand Forks, North Dakota’s industrial infrastructure must withstand extreme Upper Midwest weather - including sub-zero winters and intense summer heat. These environments require technical surface protection engineered for extreme thermal stability, chemical resistance, and long-term corrosion control.
Kelly Industrial Services provides the professional-grade painting and specialized cleaning necessary to protect these critical investments. Our North Dakota crews are 100% in-house, ensuring that every project is executed without the quality control risks or safety gaps associated with subcontractors or temporary labor.
Technical Surface Preparation for North Dakota Facilities
In North Dakota’s rigorous energy and agricultural environments, surface preparation is the primary factor in ensuring coating longevity against freeze-thaw cycles and oxidation. We utilize advanced methods to ensure maximum adhesion:
Our North Dakota service offerings include:
Abrasive Blasting: Utilizing specialized media to achieve a precise anchor profile on structural steel, mining equipment, and tank exteriors for a permanent coating bond.
Ultra-High Pressure (UHP) Hydroblasting: Utilizing water at pressures up to 40,000 PSI to remove heavy industrial contaminants, old linings, and flash rust without the dust of traditional blasting.
Dry Ice Blasting (CO2): A moisture-free, non-abrasive cleaning method ideal for sensitive electrical components, control systems, and intricate machinery in North Dakota’s energy and processing plants.
Technical Degreasing: Removing heavy oils, lubricants, and mineral residues common in North Dakota’s oil, gas, and heavy equipment sectors.

Questions
Common questions in North Dakota.
Does Kelly Industrial Services use subcontractors for North Dakota projects?
No. Kelly Industrial Services uses 100% in-house, full-time employees for all industrial painting and cleaning projects in North Dakota to ensure maximum safety and quality control.
How do you handle painting in North Dakota’s extreme winter temperatures?
We utilize specialized “cold-cure” coating systems and moisture-tolerant primers that can be applied in low temperatures. This allows us to maintain North Dakota industrial facilities year-round, including structural painting and interior infrastructure work during the winter months.
Are your coatings food-safe for North Dakota processing plants?
Absolutely. We specialize in USDA and FDA-compliant antimicrobial coatings designed specifically for the unique environment of food processing and grain handling facilities, providing resistance to bacteria and aggressive cleaning chemicals.
What is the benefit of dry ice blasting for North Dakota energy facilities?
Dry ice blasting is moisture-free and leaves no secondary waste. This makes it ideal for cleaning sensitive electrical panels, control systems, or intricate machinery in power plants and refineries without the risk of water damage or secondary cleanup.
