Case Study #1 - Highway and Bridge Shot Blasting

Our systems are highly productive, leading to reduced lane closure times and minimal traffic disruption.  Shot blasting has no detrimental effects on the structural integrity of the surface course. On worn-out roads, shot blasting can prolong the life of roadways, deterring the need to immediately invest in new surface course construction. The capabilities of the Blastrac shot blaster, and scarifier products are offering the professional contractor more choices in how roads, bridges, airport runways and other large jobs are handled in the surface preparation stages.
