Abrasive Blasting in Ahmedabad

For tanks, pipe racks, chimneys and plant structures around Ahmedabad, a Mythri Metallizing team travels from Bengaluru with its own compressors and blast sets.

Blasting in Ahmedabad Chemical Estates

The Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) estates at Vatva and Naroda, together with the industrial areas at Odhav and Kathwada, hold dye, chemical, pharma and engineering units in close proximity. Steel in this atmosphere collects fumes and process dust, and tank bases and pipe supports can remain wet from spills and wash-down.

A coating applied over rust that still holds contamination fails early. Blasting to bare metal gives the next coating a sound base, and on these sites we treat it as the step that determines coating life.

Ahmedabad has a hot, semi-arid climate. Most of the year is dry, which suits blasting, but steel standing in the sun can be too hot to coat, because paint data sheets set a limit on steel temperature. In the monsoon months, humidity and dew point decide whether blasted steel can be coated on the same day, and we check both with a psychrometer.

Steel We Blast Around Ahmedabad

Chemicals and dyes, Vatva and Naroda GIDC

Storage tanks, vessel and reactor supports, pipe racks and gantries that have endured years of fumes and spillage.

Pharma plants, Changodar

Utility structures, outdoor tanks and pipe supports outside the production blocks, blasted within plant permits and away from clean areas.

Automotive and engineering, Sanand

Structural steel for new plant sheds and gantries, and fabricated frames that are too large to transport, blasted and primed before erection.

Power plants and the Dahej and Bharuch coast

Chimneys, ducts, boiler structures and tanks across Gujarat, including coastal steel where sea air adds salt to the chemical atmosphere.

Blasting Projects in Ahmedabad

A supervised team travels from our Bengaluru units with compressors, blast hoppers, hoses and abrasive. It works within your safety permits, protects nearby equipment from dust and operates in shifts so that a shutdown window is used fully. Where we also coat the steel, each blasted section is primed or metal sprayed before it can rust.

If your plant already has compressors and blasting sets, we can supply technicians and manpower alone. Otherwise, we ship the equipment with the team. Our teams have previously worked in Gujarat, at Hazira and Surat. Every project concludes with a record of the blast grade and surface profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Mythri Metallizing send a team from Bengaluru to blast in Ahmedabad?
Yes. For tanks, chimneys, pipe racks, plant structures and shutdown programmes, the area and the schedule readily justify the journey of about 1,500 km. For a very small patch, we will advise on the most practical arrangement. Please share the area, access and dates.
Which abrasives do you use at plants in Ahmedabad?
We work with steel grit, copper slag and aluminium oxide, chosen for the steel and for the coating that follows. Copper slag is generally preferred for large structures because it cuts quickly, leaves a sharp profile and is low in free silica.
Can you blast inside an operating chemical plant?
In many cases, this is possible. We section off the area, protect nearby equipment and work within your permits. For hot or live equipment, the work is planned into a shutdown. Please let us know what the plant handles so that we can plan access and the cleaning of the steel.
We have our own compressors. Can you send only the team?
Yes. We undertake onsite projects and can provide technicians and manpower. Where you have no equipment of your own, we ship ours with the team.
Does the Gujarat heat or the monsoon affect blasting?
Blasting continues in the heat, but steel in direct sun can be too hot to coat. In monsoon humidity, blasted steel can flash rust within hours. We check humidity and dew point before coating and plan the sequence around the coating data sheet.
