Montana’s industrial sector is built on a foundation of natural resource extraction, energy production, and heavy manufacturing. From the refining and petrochemical hubs in Billings to the mining and processing operations in Butte and the interior, Montana’s industrial assets face extreme environmental challenges. These facilities must withstand high-altitude UV exposure, massive seasonal temperature swings, and the corrosive nature of mineral and chemical processing. Such conditions require technical surface protection engineered for maximum thermal stability and heavy-duty corrosion resistance.
Kelly Industrial Services provides the professional-grade painting and specialized cleaning necessary to protect these critical investments. Our Montana 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 Montana Facilities
In Montana’s rugged industrial 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 Montana 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 Montana’s energy and processing plants.
Technical Degreasing: Removing heavy oils, lubricants, and mineral residues common in Montana’s mining, refining, and heavy equipment sectors.

Questions
Common questions in Montana.
Does Kelly Industrial Services use subcontractors for Montana projects?
No. Kelly Industrial Services uses 100% in-house, full-time employees for all industrial painting and cleaning projects in Montana to ensure maximum safety and quality control.
What is the benefit of dry ice blasting for Montana 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.
How do you handle painting in Montana’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 perform critical structural painting and interior infrastructure work throughout the Montana winter.
