Industrial Painting For Large Steel Structures, Beams, Cranes & Bridges

Iron and steel are the most commonly used metals in exterior structures. They are usually chosen not for their corrosion resistance but rather for their strength, cost, and ease of fabrication. Unfortunately, when unprotected, iron and steel rust in almost all environments, and rust extremely quickly when exposed to harsh chemicals, atmospheric salt, corrosive solutions, caustic solutions and moist environments like waterfront areas, chemical facilities, oil refineries, power plants, pulp & paper plants, and dock facilities — to name a few.

If you are looking to protect your investment by coating your steel structures, cargo cranes, container cranes, dock cranes or bridges, look to Induspray, a qualified industrial painting contractor with a track record of performing.

Steel Painting & Refinishing Systems

As painting contractors trained in sandblasting, ultra-high-pressure water blasting, dry ice blasting (CO2 blasting), and other preparation methods for steel/metal, we are able to offer the widest range of system choices both for system performance and suitability for your environment.

We are painting contractors that will analyze your steel painting project and give coating recommendations with various options so you can make the best value decisions based on exposure, longevity and cost.

We offer epoxy coatings, urethane coatings, plural component coatings, fire resistant coatings, and standard architectural coatings to protect and extend the life of your steel structures. We excel in complicated rigging access environments, blast media containment, and fast turnaround time projects.

Reliable Protection for Your Structural Steel

Steel structures are built to be strong, but over time they face tough conditions — moisture, chemicals, temperature changes, and constant exposure to the elements. Without the right protection, rust and corrosion will eventually take over.

That’s where Induspray comes in.

We specialize in industrial steel structure painting and protective coatings that help your steel last longer, stay safer, and continue performing the way it was designed to. Whether it’s beams, frames, cranes, bridges, tank supports, or any other structural steel, our goal is simple:

Protect it. Preserve it. Extend its life

Why Painting Your Steel Structures Matters

Painting steel isn’t just about making it look good. It’s about protecting your investment and preventing serious problems down the road.

With the right coating system, you can:

  • Prevent rust and corrosion
  • Maintain structural strength and safety
  • Reduce long-term maintenance and repair costs
  • Keep your facility looking clean, professional, and well-maintained

In short, the right paint system saves money, improves safety, and keeps your operation running smoothly.

What We Do

✔️ Steel Structure Painting

We paint and coat all types of steel, including:

  • Structural beams, trusses, and columns
  • Mezzanines and building frameworks
  • Outdoor steel structures and architectural steel
  • Cranes, gantries, bridges, and heavy equipment

Every project is handled with attention to detail, quality workmanship, and coatings built for harsh industrial environments.

✔️ Proper Surface Preparation

The secret to a long-lasting coating job is surface prep. Without it, even the best paint will fail.

We use methods like:

  • Abrasive blasting / sandblasting
  • Power washing and rust removal
  • High-pressure or ultra-high-pressure cleaning
  • Specialized blasting methods depending on the environment

This ensures coatings bond properly and perform the way they should.

✔️ The Right Coating System for Your Environment

Not every steel structure needs the same solution. We take time to understand:

  • Where the steel is located
  • What it’s exposed to
  • Your performance expectations and budget

Then we recommend the best system, which may include:

  • Zinc-rich primers for superior corrosion resistance
  • Epoxy coatings for moisture and chemical protection
  • Urethane / polyurethane topcoats for UV durability
  • Fire-resistant coatings when required

Our goal is to deliver protection that truly lasts.

✔️ Inspection & Maintenance Support

Steel structures are long-term assets. We help keep them that way with:

  • Regular inspections
  • Touch-ups and repairs
  • Maintenance coating plans

Catching issues early helps avoid major structural and financial headaches later.

What Our Clients Say

Induspray painted 4 large stamping presses for us and were able to complete the work with minimal disruption to our production schedule. First rate equipment painters.

Andy and his crew cannot be more recommended. In all our dealings, he was professional and honest. The quality of the work was excellent, and the price was reasonable. Thanks again.

A professional painting contractor that I would recommend to anyone.

The crew from Induspray did a great job for us. We had our entire warehouse ceiling painted (at over 85,000 sqft), and they were in and out in less than the originally estimated time. I would definitely recommend them.

All the walls in our plant were painted and it all looks great now. Very happy with the work and the price we obtained.
