Abrasive blasting in the marine sector is a high-stakes task. Structures are often subject to constant wet-dry cycles, salt exposure, and physical wear from mooring lines, vessels, and tidal action. If blasting is not performed to an exacting standard, premature coating failure can occur—leading to expensive rework, loss of asset availability, and increased maintenance cycles. Polaris Marine Group provides abrasive blasting services specifically tailored to maritime conditions, including splash zones, tidal interfaces, and submerged structural components. We often work on live marine assets where shutdowns are not feasible, such as ferry terminals, wharves, and coastal defences. In these situations, our crews operate with efficiency and control, using encapsulated blasting rigs and vacuum recovery systems to minimise environmental risk. Our understanding of marine construction also allows us to integrate surface preparation seamlessly into broader remediation or refurbishment programs, reducing downtime and optimising project flow.
