Surface prep and coatings.

Surface preparation and shop-applied coatings — the steel goes out the door ready for weather and work.

What it covers

Beams come through the paint bay in primer red or finish cream, checked and swept before they ship. Frames get laid out in the yard to cure.

Coating in the shop beats coating in the field: a controlled surface, a controlled coat, and no scaffold in the rain. It's the last stop on the floor, and the first thing anyone sees on site.
