ABS Blast for Offshore and LNG Modules
Offshore and LNG modules bring structural frames, pipe racks, skids, platforms and enclosure assemblies into protective coating workflows. ABS Blast equipment for this application can include blast rooms, abrasive blast booths and media reclaim systems. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services the mechanical connections that support these finishing systems.

Module Envelope And Lift Strategy
Module work often involves tall frames, protruding brackets and heavy lift points. The finishing layout should preserve crane access, transporter paths, door clearance and safe operator movement around the full assembly.
Separating Blast Dust From Clean Coating
Blasting, blowdown, inspection and coating should be arranged so abrasive dust does not migrate into paint mixing, coated-part staging or final inspection. Door placement, vestibules, exhaust paths and cleaning areas can affect that separation.
Air And Utility Coordination
Large module finishing can require exhaust ductwork, make-up air, heater connections, compressed air, lighting and control locations to be coordinated with building steel and other trades.
- Confirm maximum module dimensions and lift method.
- Map blast, clean, coat, cure or staging steps in order.
- Identify compressed air, electrical, gas and roof penetration constraints.
Maintenance Space Near Reclaim Equipment
Reclaim screws, hoppers, separators, dust collectors and fan sections need access after the production layout is built around them. Planning for service clearance helps avoid removing racks or stored materials during routine maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
How should offshore module size affect blast room planning?
The room has to fit the module and the handling method, while leaving space for operators to reach connection points, frames and underside areas.
What utilities are commonly reviewed for this kind of installation?
Compressed air, electrical service, fuel or heat connections, control locations, lighting, exhaust routing and replacement air are commonly reviewed.
Can existing finishing equipment be relocated for module work?
Relocation can be evaluated when the existing equipment dimensions, condition, disassembly needs, new layout and utility routes are known.
What information helps Double D Mechanical review the area?
Facility drawings, equipment information, maximum module dimensions, workflow steps, utility points, roof details and photos of the proposed space are helpful.
