Mattioli is a trusted name in asset preservation and life extension services. It offers its expertise in concrete remediation, protective coatings, floor coatings, waterproofing, and heritage restoration. It caters to various industries, including infrastructure, water, marine, and petrochemical.

The Challenge

Traditional scaffolding for abrasive blasting operations presents several challenges, primarily due to the time and labour-intensive setup and takedown processes. Erecting a wrapped scaffolding system can take up to three days for assembly and disassembly, significantly increasing labour costs and downtime. This approach also requires considerable resources to ensure media and debris containment, adding further to project expenses and complexity.

The Solution:

Mattioli called on Giant Inflatables Industrial to design a customised Portable Abrasive Blasting Shelter to reduce setup time and maintenance costs.

The 10m x 8m structure boasts 54 meters of usable floor space with six-meter ceilings. The shelter has 3-meter-high blast protection screens with a dust tray and a blast media extraction and collection system.

Structurally, the shelter has emergency exits, welded, transparent, waterproof windows with six reinforced duct ports and air vents. It also has a crane lifting lug to position the inflatable over machinery.

The Results:

The inflatable blasting shelter’s portability and customisable design enable Mattioli to streamline its operations, minimising labour costs and downtime. Thus, it is a more efficient alternative to traditional scaffolding.
