Commercial Structural Steel, Stadiums & Venues
- Fabrication of structural steel: GMA NewSteel™ is the fastest abrasive on the market for removing hard mill scale.
- Creating the required surface profile with consistent peak density - much higher than alternate abrasives (3-5 times higher than slags) for stronger coating adhesion
- Exceptional surface cleanliness with minimal abrasive embedment for better corrosion resistance and substrate integrity
- Waste management and garnet recycling: With the right equipment GMA Garnet™ can provide a high level of reusability through recycling onsite
- GMA Garnet™ is an inert, sustainable natural mineral, with little to no recordable heavy metals and worker hazard risks
Bridges
- Very low dust emissions, improving visibility and productivity particularly in confined spaces
- High blasting and cleaning efficiency, leading to lower abrasive consumption, and lower clean-up and disposal costs than waste slags
- Creating the required surface profile with consistent peak density for stronger coating adhesion
- Exceptional surface cleanliness with minimal abrasive embedment for better corrosion resistance and substrate integrity
- GMA Garnet™ is an inert, sustainable natural mineral, with little to no recordable heavy metals, reducing worker risks and hazards, and environmental contamination
Water & Wastewater – Storage and Treatment
- Very low dust emissions, improving visibility and productivity particularly in confined spaces
- High blasting and cleaning efficiency, leading to lower abrasive consumption, and lower clean-up and disposal costs
- Creating the required surface profile with consistent peak density for stronger coating adhesion
- Exceptional surface cleanliness with minimal abrasive embedment for better corrosion resistance and substrate integrity
- Community Health & Safety – Safest abrasive to lower risk in residential areas and for workers.
- GMA Garnet™ abrasives are inert natural minerals, with little to no heavy metals reducing the potential of environmental contamination.
