Concrete Shot Blasting Services

Durer specializes in shot blasting industrial scale concrete flat work. However, in response to growing customer demand, Durer Shotblast is slowly evolving into a wider-option surface preparation contractor for the concrete floor coatings and adhesives industry. Our services are targeted toward projects such as parking garages, industrial lots, commercial building floors, parking decks, etc.

Many engineers, architects and general contractors prefer the shot blasting process because it uses steel shot to remove a small surface layer of concrete without compromising the remaining under-portion of the concrete surface. This process of cleaning and profiling (i.e. creating surface “roughness”) the concrete provides the ideal pre-condition for installing new water-barrier coatings, membrane overlays or epoxy toppings.

Shot Blasting Benefits include:

Eliminating the need for environmentally harsh chemicals
Less cleanup than other concrete preparation methods
Durer’s unique dust containment and disposal process
More environmentally friendly than other surface preparation alternatives
Higher production rates
Uniform surface (profile) pattern/consistency
Suitable for indoor and outdoors projects
Increases longevity of protective surface coatings
Promotion of superior adhesion of coatings

Comprehensive Shot Blast Solutions

As a turnkey shot blast company, Durer Shotblast arrives on-site with:

a (mobile) electrical power generator,
shot blasting equipment and
logistical equipment-moving machinery.

The only thing that Durer requires from the General Contractor is access to a “broom-swept” open and unrestricted work area.

We work for you and therefore we welcome an audience of observers monitoring the quality of our work…(as long as all authorized observers maintain a safe distance way from the blaster unit while in operation and are wearing safety glasses and ear protection).

Professional Contractor: Durer, LLC is carries a $4,000,000 Completed Operations Aggregate Limit and a $1,000,000 Per Each Occurrence Limit of General Liability Insurance coverage.
Job-Site Equipment Transportation: The Durer shot-blast system is self-contained and routinely transports shot blast equipment up the many decks of a parking garage and over the uneven terrain of construction sites. Only rarely does Durer encounter the need for General Contractor assistance in moving shot blast equipment from one area to another on the construction job-site.
Rapid Production: In large high-production-rate projects, Durer employs the simultaneous operation of both it’s 20” and 30” shot blast machines. Our experience indicates that our “walk-behind” machines individually match the production rates of the larger “rider” shot-blast machines.
Shot Cleanup: Durer utilizes the Bluestreak “Push Type” magnet sweeper system for retrieving stray steel shot from a finished floor. For most outside projects, a portable “blower” system can also be utilized to dislodge stray steel shot from recessed corners and deep crevices.
Concrete (Silica) Dust Disposal: In addition to the standard dust-containing vacuum system designed into the Blastrac shot-blast equipment by the manufacturer, Durer uses a proprietary dust containment system. This Durer process automatically contains and “bags” the discharge concrete dust as it is emptied from the Blastrac vacuum unit. This process eliminates any air-borne dust release during the transportation of the contained dust to the disposal job-site dumpster. In addition, this system assures that the contained “packaged dust” stays contained after it is deposited into the open dumpster container.
