Paint Booth Relocation in Shreveport, Louisiana
Double D Mechanical relocates paint booths for Shreveport plants, fleet shops and fabrication facilities that need a better finishing layout. The move should be planned around the booth structure, workpiece movement, exhaust and make-up air paths, utility reconnections and maintenance access after startup.
Discuss your installationControlled Teardown and Labeling
A booth relocation starts with understanding how the enclosure, doors, plenums, lighting, filters, fan sections and controls come apart. Labeling and documenting components during disassembly helps the reassembly plan match the equipment instead of relying on memory.
Receiving Area Fit and Flow
The new location should support how parts arrive, get coated and leave the booth. That means checking approach aisles, turning room, door clearances, staging for masked parts and the space needed to replace filters or reach motors without interrupting nearby work.
- Check the longest part travel path before choosing the final booth position.
- Account for forklifts, carts, jigs and stands in the footprint review.
- Reserve access for filter changes and light maintenance.
Air System Rework
Moving a booth often changes the exhaust duct length, fan placement, make-up air route and roof discharge point. The relocation plan should review supports, penetrations, air balance and nearby ventilation equipment so the booth does not create pressure problems in the shop.
Trade Coordination Before Reset
Electrical, gas, compressed air and controls work should be sequenced with the booth reset. Clear handoffs help avoid conflicts where conduit, piping, duct or equipment supports compete for the same overhead or wall space.
Details to Collect Before a Visit
Useful inputs include the current booth layout, proposed location, photos of all sides of the equipment, utility locations, roof access notes, part sizes, material handling methods and any production windows that limit noisy or disruptive work.
Planning a booth or oven project in Louisiana
Crews mobilize from Houston; Louisiana is roughly 250 miles away, so equipment, panels and tooling are staged and shipped ahead of the install crew.
Manufacturing in Louisiana is concentrated around Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Shreveport, and Lafayette. The sectors most likely to be specifying spray booths, blast rooms, powder systems and cure ovens there include petrochemical and refining, shipbuilding and marine fabrication, oilfield equipment, and industrial coatings.
High humidity most of the year means intake air drying, booth heater sizing for spray and bake, and corrosion-resistant hardware matter more than usual.
Frequently asked questions
Does a relocation require a new booth layout?
Yes. Even when the same booth is reused, the new location needs a layout that accounts for parts, doors, ducts, utilities and maintenance access.
Can a booth be relocated inside the same building?
Yes. Interior moves still require careful planning for disassembly, staging, exhaust rerouting, make-up air and utility reconnections.
What photos are helpful before the site visit?
Photos of the booth exterior, fan and ductwork, control panel, make-up air unit, roof route, utilities and nearby obstructions are helpful.
What happens to the booth utilities during the move?
Utilities are disconnected, protected as needed and reconnected according to the new layout and the responsibilities assigned to each trade.
