Proactive Asset Management Through Inspections

At Universal Blastco, we specialize in industrial inspections tailored to the unique needs of facilities like chemical plants, power generation stations, hydropower stations, pulp and paper mills, and metal and mining refineries across the United States. Our inspections are a key part of a comprehensive maintenance strategy, helping you extend the life of your infrastructure, avoid unplanned downtime, and ensure safe, efficient operations.

Why Choose Our Industrial Inspection Services?

Inspections Backed by Field Expertise

Unlike companies that only inspect, we also perform the work required to fix issues found during an inspection. This means we know exactly what to look for—and what it will take to fix it—when we evaluate your infrastructure. You get more than just a report. You get practical, experience-driven recommendations.

Detailed Reports You Can Act On

Every inspection includes a comprehensive report tailored to your facility’s specific needs. Whether the outcome is a simple “reinspect in five years” or a detailed priority list of repairs (down to which bricks need replacement and when), we help you determine the action plan. Our team works closely with you to align inspection outcomes with your budget, timeline, and production needs.

Industry-Leading Certifications

QP1-Certified for High-Performance Coatings and Linings

We are a QP1-certified contractor through AMPP (Association for Materials Protection and Performance), a prestigious certification that verifies our capability and quality through rigorous annual audits. Working with a QP1-certified partner means peace of mind as our processes meet the highest standards in the industry.

FRPI 8310-Certified for Fiberglass (FRP) Inspection

We are also FRPI 8310-certified for fiberglass inspection services, which qualifies us to assess above-ground chemical storage tanks and oversee new FRP construction projects—whether tanks are in or out of service. This certification speaks to our technical expertise and our commitment to safety and compliance in demanding environments.

Drone-Enabled Inspections for Safer Access

Some areas are difficult, or even dangerous, to access using conventional methods. That’s why we integrate drone technology into our inspection services. Our FAA-compliant drone operations are led by a Certified UAS Remote Pilot in Command (RPIC), ensuring every flight is conducted safely, legally, and with precision.

We use drones to inspect elevated structures, confined spaces, and other hard-to-reach assets—eliminating the need for scaffolding or rope access and removing unnecessary risk.

Following each inspection, we deliver a comprehensive report complete with high-resolution 4K photos and videos. These visuals are reviewed and annotated by our AMPP Senior Certified Coating Inspector, who brings over 20 years of experience in high-performance linings, acid brick, and tile systems.

The result? Not just imagery, but real, actionable insight to help you prioritize repairs, verify conditions, and plan effectively for the future.
