Industrial Painting and Cleaning in Louisiana

Louisiana is a global hub for the energy, chemical, and maritime industries. From the high-concentration petrochemical corridor between Baton Rouge and New Orleans to the maritime facilities in Lake Charles, Louisiana’s industrial infrastructure faces some of the most corrosive atmospheric conditions in North America. These assets require technical surface protection engineered to withstand high humidity, salt-air exposure, and aggressive chemical vapors.

Kelly Industrial Services provides the professional-grade painting and specialized cleaning necessary to protect these critical investments. Our Louisiana 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 Louisiana Facilities

In Louisiana’s high-humidity and high-salinity environments, surface preparation is the most critical factor in preventing coating failure. We utilize advanced methods to ensure maximum adhesion:

Our Louisiana service offerings include:

• Ultra-High Pressure (UHP) Hydroblasting: Utilizing water at pressures up to 40,000 PSI to remove salt contaminants, flash rust, and old coatings without the dust of abrasive blasting.
• Abrasive Blasting: Utilizing specialized media to achieve a specific anchor profile on structural steel, tanks, and secondary containment units.
• Solvent Cleaning & Degreasing: Removing heavy oils, lubricants, and chemical residues common in Louisiana’s refining and manufacturing sectors.
• Dry Ice Blasting (CO2): A moisture-free cleaning method ideal for sensitive electrical components and intricate machinery in processing plants.
