Blasting & Coatings

Industrial surface preparation and protective coating systems applied to Australian Standards extending asset life and protecting structural steel, pipework and equipment in the harshest Northern Australian environments.

What We Do

Protection That Goes the Distance.

All Star Welding delivers professional abrasive blasting and protective coating services from our Darwin base. We prepare and coat structural steel, pipe spools, pressure vessels, plant equipment, and fabricated assemblies both in our workshop and on site.

Our coating applicators are trained and experienced in applying a wide range of industrial coating systems, from single coat primers through to complex multi-coat epoxy and polyurethane systems specified for immersion, atmospheric, and chemical exposure environments.

Every blasting and coating job is carried out under our ISO 9001:2015 quality system, with full documentation of surface preparation grades, DFT readings, batch records, and inspection hold points giving you the traceability your project requires.
