Overview
The coal industry presents some of the most demanding operating conditions found in any industrial environment. From handling and processing to storage and power generation support, facilities are constantly exposed to abrasive materials, moisture, and corrosive conditions.
At Mid America Service Solutions, we provide specialized industrial services—including abrasive blasting, silo inspections, and tank inspections—designed to help coal facilities operate safely and efficiently. From wear-resistant silo linings to high-performance polyurea coatings, we minimize downtime and protect your critical infrastructure.
Our Primary Services
- Surface Prep: Heavy abrasive blasting, sandblasting, and dry ice blasting.
- Integrity Testing: Silo inspections, tank inspections, and ultrasonic wall thickness testing.
- Protective Linings: Abrasion-resistant silo linings, tank linings, and chute protection.
- Industrial Floors: Epoxy flooring, high-build polyurea, and non-slip surfaces.
- Corrosion Defense: Urethane, coal-tar epoxy alternatives, and moisture-cured coatings.
Specialized Coal Infrastructure Solutions
Industrial Blasting & Surface Preparation
Blasting services play a critical role in removing heavy buildup, corrosion, and contaminants from conveyors, structural steel, and processing areas.
- Aggressive Cleaning: We utilize traditional abrasive blasting to strip rust and scale, ensuring structural integrity is maintained.
- Sensitive Equipment: For electrical components or high-precision machinery, we offer dry ice blasting, which cleans effectively without introducing moisture or secondary waste.
Abrasion-Resistant Coatings & Defense
Coal dust and moisture accelerate corrosion, especially on exposed steel and conveyors. We apply industrial-grade polyurea, urethane, and polyaspartic coatings to shield assets.
- Corrosion Shield: These systems are designed to resist moisture intrusion and chemical exposure, significantly extending the service life of equipment.
- Safety & Visibility: Properly applied coatings and industrial painting improve visibility and housekeeping throughout the facility.
Silo & Tank Inspections and Linings
Coal storage units suffer from caking, corrosion, and extreme structural stress. Routine silo inspections and tank inspections are essential for identifying wall thinning or coating failures.
- Structural Safety: Our inspections help identify weaknesses before they escalate into costly failures or safety hazards.
- Wear Protection: We install high-durability silo linings and tank linings designed to resist the abrasive nature of coal, ensuring smooth material flow and long-term protection.
Durable Epoxy Flooring Systems
High-traffic maintenance shops and processing spaces require flooring that can stand up to heavy equipment and constant foot traffic. Our epoxy flooring systems are engineered for maximum durability.
- Resilient Surfaces: These floors resist chemicals, abrasion, and moisture while providing vital slip resistance in dusty environments.
- Advanced Topcoats: Utilizing polyaspartic or polyurea topcoats ensures a seamless surface that is easy to maintain even under harsh coal-handling conditions.
