Commercial case study · Doncaster · Warehouse refurbishment
HB Tunnelling needed a one-stop solution for warehouse steelwork as part of a wider refurbishment. A five-person multi-skilled team abrasive blasted the structure, applied primer straight after preparation and completed intumescent fire-protective coating in carefully planned same-day stages.
The requirement
HB Tunnelling required the warehouse steelwork to be shot blasted, fireproof painted and readied alongside the wider roof refurbishment before operation. Primer needed to follow blasting immediately, avoiding avoidable exposure that could compromise coating adhesion.
Coordinated delivery
The delivery covered surface preparation, primer and intumescent fire protection, avoiding a gap between separate blasting and coating scopes.
The existing steelwork was abrasive blasted from elevated access equipment to prepare it for protection.
As each area was prepared, primer was applied immediately to protect the prepared steel from contamination or deterioration before the next stage.
Intumescent fire-protective paint followed as part of the same coordinated delivery, maintaining continuous progress and reducing unnecessary handovers.
Project film · 43.8 seconds
The film shows blasting on warehouse steelwork from a boom lift, followed by protective-coating application from elevated access. It then shows aerial views of the refurbishment site and a closing Premier Blasting identity frame. The film is provided for project context; any site-specific method remains subject to assessment.
