Spray Systems Booths for Pipe Spools
Pipe spool finishing needs flexible handling for elbows, flanges, supports and welded assemblies with surfaces that may require masking or staged coating. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services Spray Systems open-face and large equipment booths, blast rooms, exhaust ductwork, air make-up units, heaters, lighting and mixing room connections for pipe coating operations.

Spool Handling And Rotation
Pipe assemblies may be moved on carts, racks, cranes or rollers. Booth placement should leave room for rotation, flange protection, masking, inspection and safe movement between prep, coating and drying areas.
Blast Room Interface
Abrasive preparation is common before pipe coating. Blast room doors, reclaim systems, dust collection interfaces and booth entry should be arranged so cleaned spools do not travel through dirty work zones before coating.
Open-Face Booth Considerations
Open-face booths can work well for varied spool sizes when airflow direction, part depth and operator position are considered. The layout should keep spray work within the capture zone and avoid blocking exhaust with racks or oversized fixtures.
Utilities And Exhaust Paths
Exhaust ductwork, make-up air, heat, electrical service and compressed air should be routed around cranes, racks and welding areas. Fan placement and discharge locations need review before roof or wall openings are selected.
Preparation Before Layout Review
Collect representative spool drawings, maximum dimensions, rack or cart details, coating steps, utility locations and photos of the proposed area. Include notes on masking requirements and whether internal coating or only external coating is planned.
Frequently asked questions
What pipe spool sizes should be used for booth planning?
Use the largest and most awkward assemblies, including flange width, support brackets, rack height and any space needed to rotate or inspect the spool.
Can an open-face booth handle pipe spool work?
It can be suitable for some layouts when part depth, rack position, airflow capture and operator access are planned carefully.
How should blasting connect to pipe coating?
The blast area should allow prepared spools to move into coating with minimal contamination, while keeping media and dust away from paint work.
What utilities are usually involved?
Electrical service, controls, lighting, compressed air, exhaust, make-up air and heat connections are common, along with any mixing room or blast room connections.
What service access is important in pipe coating areas?
Filters, exhaust fans, lights, dampers, heaters and control panels should remain accessible even when racks and carts are staged nearby.
