Industrial Coating Contractors Serving Georgia Facilities
New Kent Coatings has served Georgia since 2016, mobilizing highly experienced crews and NACE-certified inspectors for tank, containment, and structural steel coating work across the state. Georgia’s industrial mix brings us a varied scope: forestry and timber operations alongside chemical manufacturing, both of which lean heavily on structural steel and containment coating to keep equipment running.
Forestry, Manufacturing, and Chemical Facilities Across Georgia
Georgia’s industrial base includes sectors that don’t show up as consistently in our other states:
- Forestry and timber operations, where structural steel coating protects processing and handling equipment from constant outdoor exposure and mechanical wear
- Chemical manufacturing facilities, which typically mean tank and containment coating scoped to continuous chemical exposure
- General manufacturing across multiple industry types, most often requiring containment and structural steel work
Industrial Coating Services for Georgia Facilities
Structural Steel for Forestry and Industrial Operations
Forestry and timber processing equipment takes a beating from outdoor exposure, moisture, and constant mechanical stress. We coat structural steel for these operations with systems built for that specific combination of exposure, not a standard indoor industrial coating.
Tanks and Containment for Chemical Manufacturing
Interior tank lining, exterior recoating, and secondary containment for chemical manufacturing facilities, specified to the actual chemical exposure on-site.
Surface Preparation
Abrasive blasting, ultra-high-pressure water blasting up to 55,000 PSI, and dry ice blasting, matched to the substrate and environment.
Get Structural Steel and Containment Assessed Before Season-End Downtime
Outdoor structural steel and chemical containment systems don’t fail gradually and predictably; they fail when nobody’s looked at them in a while. Schedule a site assessment and get ahead of the next inspection or maintenance window instead of reacting to a failure.
Experience and Credentials
What Sets Us Apart in Georgia
Forestry-focused coating shops rarely have chemical manufacturing containment experience, and chemical-plant contractors rarely have forestry equipment experience. We run under one crew and one NACE-certified process, which matters for any Georgia operation that touches both sides; a forestry company with an on-site chemical treatment process, for example, doesn’t need two contractors for two halves of the same facility.
Georgia Coating FAQs
Do you coat structural steel specifically for forestry or timber operations?
Yes. Forestry and timber processing equipment deals with constant outdoor exposure and mechanical stress, and we spec structural steel coating systems for that combination rather than a standard indoor industrial coating.
What’s your experience with food-safe or food-grade coating requirements?
Food-grade coating requirements depend on the specific facility and what the coating will contact. If your Georgia facility has food-safe or sanitary coating requirements, bring that up during the site assessment so we can spec accordingly.
How does outdoor exposure change what coating system you’d recommend?
Outdoor structural steel deals with UV exposure, temperature cycling, and moisture in ways indoor equipment doesn’t, which changes the coating chemistry and topcoat we’d specify. A system built for indoor manufacturing equipment typically won’t hold up the same way outdoors.
How often should chemical manufacturing containment be inspected in Georgia’s climate?
Georgia’s heat and humidity can accelerate coating breakdown compared to drier climates, so annual visual inspection with a more thorough assessment every few years is a reasonable baseline, more frequent if the containment sees continuous chemical exposure.
Can you coat equipment that has to keep running during timber processing season?
In many cases, yes. We plan surface prep and coating application around your operational calendar wherever possible, which matters for forestry operations that don’t have a natural off-season downtime window.
