Technological advancements in inflatable technology have redefined the way in which industry professionals are performing abrasive blasting operations. Whether you’re sand blasting, soda blasting, garnet blasting, ice blasting, or blasting with another abrasive media, you should ask yourself the following question: Can I get the job done more effectively and save time, money and resources in the process? The answer may well be yes, and here’s why: With traditional blast booths and chambers your abrasive blasting operation needs to take place back at your home base where expensive blast booth space may lay idle while rent is being paid. In most instances that valuable space could well be better utilized to undertake operations that increase return to your bottom line. But what if your blast booth could disappear when not in use? A great example is how Queensland Air Services saved heaps by utilizing their hanger space wisely. Inside their expensive hanger workshop multip

Siemens Inflatable Blasting Shelter - Case Study

Image
Siemens is a global powerhouse, with focus areas on electrification, automation and digitization. The company is one of the world’s largest providers of energy- and resource-efficient technologies. Operating large power generation sights that include mammoth machinery means when things get dirt you need a mammoth space to blast them clean. Blasting machinery in the open raises a few key issues, the four most common being: Air quality, noise, water quality and waste management. In the past, most blasting businesses conducted their work in the open with little to no containment, resulting in air quality around the blasting area being greatly degraded by the emissions of particle matter from the blasting. Noise from soda blasting machines and local water contamination are both issues that have been raised by many concerned residence around blasting areas. Giant Inflatables Industrial with their extensive background in blasting shelters and enclosed inflatable spaces was The

Cubic Defense inflatable shelter - Case Study

Image
Cubic Defense is one of Australia's leadng military simulations experts, specialising in full scale battalion warfare using laser equipment. Fitting out an entire battalion, including all vehicles, is no easy task. Using laser equipment and sensors military simulations can be created in real world battle field conditions. Fitting all this equipment is very time consuming and much of the equipment is highly sensitive and cannot get wet, hence the need to be done in doors. Finding the space to kit an entire battalion while out on the field was a problem Cubic Defence needed a solution for to ensure their operation went as smooth as possible.  Military Air Frame Inflatable Shelter Giant Inflatables Industrial's genius team went right to work on creating a huge Air Frame portable shelter that cubic defence could use to fit their batalions in. Our solution included some remarkable features that made their operation not only smooth but comfortable as well. Made using

Inflatable Pipe Plugs prevent Chicago City Flood in underground train tunnels.

Image
When Chicago had a small leak in an empty tunnel, it increased and started to flood. Eventually it poured throughout the entire tunnel network. Over 250,000 people had to be evacuated from the buildings above the flood which caused almost $2 billion in damages.  To dry the tunnels, this took an additional 6 weeks. Imagine if this occurred in Melbourne’s underground…. the cost in lives and infrastructure would be enormous. Technology in the inflatable arena has stepped up to the plate to provide an innovative and immediate solution to this very serious threat to Melbourne’s underground section of its train system.  To isolate or seal a part of a train system’s underground tunnel is imperative and must be able to occur at any given moment before flooding can become a danger and a threat.  To attempt to retrofit removable doors will be too costly and tie up the transit system for a long period of time Because underground tunnels have uneven surfaces due

Safe Work Australia Code of Practice on Abrasive Blasting (May 2018)  recommends  Temporary Enclosures. “Abrasive Blasting” used to clean surfaces such as steel, bricks, cement and concrete by compressed air to propel abrasive material through a blasting hose is generally required to be performed in enclosed environments to contain the common hazards of dust, noise, hazardous chemicals and risks associated with the use of plant and equipment. Businesses and their officers, together with workers have a duty under the Work Health and Safety Act to take reasonable care of health and safety at the workplace. Early consultation and identification of risks can minimise risks and reduce associated costs.    To manage the risks, it is important to understand the nature of the harm potentially caused by the hazard which will ensure you control the risks by removing the hazard.    One of the important criteria of the Safe Work Australia Code of Practice on Abrasive Blasting (May

Big shelters means big savings for Power Plants Power plants, whether gas or coal, both rely on a turbine to generate their power. We work our turbines hard in Australia, Generating 84.5% of Australia’s total power output, through the burning of coal and gas. Every 6 or so years these turbines need to undergo rigorous maintenance in an operation consisting of hundreds of personal and weeks of down time. During this time, turbines are completely disassembled, cleaned, tested and reassembled. One of the most time consuming parts of this maintenance is the cleaning of the turbine, which is done via a process called soda blasting.  Soda blasting  uses tiny particles that are blasted at high pressure against a part to clean it. Soda blasting creates a lot of mess as soda particles are projected at a part. In an effort to contain the blasting material, the process is completed in an enclosed space. Traditionally scaffolding would be erected and wrapped to create an enclosed e
