Spray Systems Booths for Offshore and LNG Modules
Offshore and LNG module finishing involves large structural frames, skids, pipe racks and equipment assemblies that need protective coatings before integration or shipment. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services Spray Systems large equipment booths, blast rooms, exhaust systems, heaters, lighting, air make-up units and related utility connections for module fabrication environments.

Module Geometry And Work Access
Module frames may include pipe, platforms, ladders, enclosures and protruding steel. Booth openings, side clearance, overhead space and worker access should be planned around the full module envelope, including fixtures and temporary supports.
Preparation And Coating Flow
Blasting, cleaning, masking, priming and topcoat work should move in a logical path. Locating blast rooms, paint booths, mixing rooms and staging areas together reduces unnecessary handling while helping keep abrasive dust out of wet coating work.
Mechanical Routes In Fabrication Bays
Exhaust ductwork, make-up air, gas, electrical and compressed air runs can compete with cranes, pipe racks, mezzanines and existing shop services. Coordination before installation helps align booth equipment with building constraints and other trades.
Heat And Air Balance
Large booths can influence pressure in adjacent fabrication areas. Air make-up discharge, heater location, exhaust fan placement and door usage should be reviewed together so coating areas do not draw air from dusty or high-fume work zones.
Keeping Service Points Reachable
Filters, lights, fans, burners, dampers and controls should be reachable when modules are in production. Service access matters because large frames and temporary platforms can block equipment that looked accessible in an empty bay.
Frequently asked questions
What module information helps with booth planning?
Overall dimensions, protrusions, lift points, support stands, coating sequence, handling method and required worker access are all useful.
Why is the blast area important to the paint booth layout?
Blast work generates dust and media that can interfere with coating quality. A practical layout separates the processes while keeping module movement manageable.
What utilities are reviewed for offshore module finishing equipment?
Electrical power, controls, lighting, gas or heat source, compressed air, exhaust routing, make-up air and fire protection interfaces are commonly reviewed.
Can booth equipment be installed around active fabrication work?
It can be planned, but sequencing must account for access, material deliveries, crane use, utility tie-ins and work by other trades.
What maintenance access should be planned from the start?
Filter doors, fan drives, light fixtures, heater sections, dampers, controls and duct cleanout areas should remain reachable during production.
