Project scenario
A Texas industrial coating contractor preps structural steel for a high-performance coating system.
Dust challenge
Blast media residue, old paint fines, and potential lead on older sections.
Site constraint
Coating warranty depends on substrate cleanliness — recontamination is unacceptable.
Why a HEPA vacuum was selected
HEPA vacuuming leaves the substrate truly clean and supports lead workflow where present.
Suggested vacuum setup
Dirt Eater HEPA vacuum (Protector if lead is confirmed), long hose, two-pass cleanup.
Practical workflow
First pass for bulk, HEPA final pass within an hour of coating, lead testing where indicated.
Safety & compliance note: Test for lead on pre-1980 structures and follow lead-dust controls where present.
