who we are 

Australian Enviroblast was 

founded in 2009 by Mark 

Chiappin with the aim of 

introducing environmentallyfriendly 

abrasive blasting 

services to Australia. 

where we are 

Our fleet of mobile equipment 

means that we are able to carry 

out on-site abrasive blasting and 

industrial coating on both largeand 

small-scale jobs throughout 

the Adelaide metropolitan area, 

as well as regional and country 

South Australia 

At Australian Enviroblast, 

we use the Quill Falcon 

Kwikblast® Dustless Blasting 

System, an environmentally 

friendly cleaning system 

noted for its power, efficiency 

and ability to remove a wide 

range of coatings, corrosion 

and residues from all types 

of structures, locations and 

equipment, leaving surfaces 

completely clean and 

contaminant free. 

Australian Enviroblast is 

licensed by the Environmental 

Protection Agency and 

adheres to its high standards 

of environmental safety with 

regards to air quality, noise, 

water quality and waste 

management. 


marine 

Using the Quill Falcon Kwikblast® System, 

abrasive blasting is able to successfully 

remove all of the following from boat hulls 

and decking, and marine machinery and 

structures: 

oil • grease • corrosion • soluble salts 

(chloride and sulphates) • chemicals • old 

coatings • algae • barnacles • grime and dirt 


Marine vessels are naturally 

subject to a build up of algae 

and barnacles, grime and 

dirt, bilge-oil film and blisters 

after an extended time in 

the water. These and other 

unwanted additions to the 

hull can eventually cause so 

much drag that they affect a 

boat’s performance. 

Removing these types of 

growth and contaminants by 

hand is not only incredibly 

laborious, but it can also 

cause damage to the 

surface, particularly on a 

fibreglass hull. Doing so, it 

is easy to scratch or even 

gouge the gelcoat, which 

can lead to blisters and 

fractures. 

The difficulty of stripping a 

boat hull also means that it 

can be tempting simply to 

apply a fresh coat of antifouling 

paint over the hull 

without stripping it right 

back beforehand. As well as 

hiding and then eventually 

exacerbating problems, 

this also means that boat 

performance is affected as 

a result of the rough bottom 

and the excess weight 

produced by too many 

layers of paint. 

Wet abrasive blasting 

is extremely gentle and 

effective at removing 

unnecessary and harmful 

paint layers and other build 

ups in such a way as to 

maximise boat performance, 

without requiring enormous 

amounts of time and 

intensive labour. This means 

that there is more time 

available for anti-fouling 

paint and protective coatings 

to be applied thoroughly 

without increasing your 

downtime and maintenance 

costs, which will in turn have 

the effect of adding years to 

a vessel’s lifespan.

Wet abrasive blasting can be used to clean the 

hulls of fibreglass, aluminium, metal and timber 

yachts and boats, and it effectively removes: 

• rust 

• paint 

• bitumen 

• mill scale 

• old coatings 

• chlorides 

• soluble salts 

• surface contaminants 

removing old coatings, paint and contaminants 

If a marine vessel is painted or a coating is applied before contaminants are 

removed, the coating is likely to fail because it does not adhere to the surface 

effectively. In addition, contaminants can draw moisture through the coating 

which causes blistering, detachment and can also accelerate corrosion. 

Wet abrasive blasting removes all types of coatings, corrosion and residues 

from marine vessel surfaces, meaning that blisters that need to be repaired 

can be identified and surfaces can be primed so that new protective coatings 

can be applied in such a way as to achieve maximum bonding. However, at the 

same time abrasive blasting won’t remove the sealing from seams or thin the 

metal of a boat’s hull. Abrasive blasting is able to profile surfaces in a variety 

of ways so that they are ready to receive all types of industrial coatings and 

protective paints.

line marking 

Wet abrasive blasting using the Quill Falcon 

Kwikblast® System removes all types of 

road and pavement markings, both from the 

surface and from any cavities or depressions. 

This is done without 

producing fumes, smoke 

or excessive dust, 

and results in a road 

surface that is profiled 

to your specifications 

but remains unscorched 

and unscarred. This is 

because the Quill Falcon 

Kwikblast® system is 

a precision dustless 

blasting system which 

combines the simplicity of 

conventional grit blasting 

with the effectiveness of 

ultra high pressure (uhP) 

jetting, but without the 

associated hazards and 

complications. 

During the wet abrasive 

blasting process, abrasive 

material is propelled at 

high pressure onto the 

road or footpath surface 

and this strips away 

unwanted markings and 

substances but leaves 

the original surface clean 

and contaminant free, 

and there is almost no 

dust produced during the 

process. 

Wet abrasive blasting also 

cleans mould, grease, 

oil and other slippery 

deposits from roads, 

paths, walkways, car 

parks and driveways. 

Furthermore, concrete 

aggregate can be 

exposed by wet abrasive 

blasting to create nonslip 

surfaces, perfect for 

use in public spaces such 

as shopping centres, 

schools, industrial parks 

and commercial premises. 

Non-slip surfaces can 

be created by abrasive 

blasting on a variety of 

materials and surfaces, 

including concrete, tiles 

and pavers. 


The Quill Falcon Kwikblast® System quickly and 

effectively removes all types of markings from road 

and pavement surfaces, including: 

• permanent and temporary thermoplastic 

paint 

• temporary road marking tape 

• surface dressing emulsion 

• resin-based paints 

• anti-skid surfacing 

removing rubber deposits 

Rubber deposits are also effectively removed from road 

surfaces, pavements and driveways using abrasive blasting. 

This can be extremely important in an airport environment, 

for instance, where a clean and profiled surface allows for 

maximum braking, as well as enhancing the brightness and 

appearance of markings. 

Removing rubber deposits and burn out marks also improves 

the appearance of roads, curbs and car parks 


graffiti removal 

Graffiti removal using wet abrasive blasting 

means that paints and other contaminants 

are completely removed from the surface of 

brickwork, stone, metal and other materials 

without leaving a shadow, and the vandalised 

area is returned to pristine condition without 

any damage to the underlying surface. 

statues and memorials 

Wet abrasive blasting restores public art, 

statues and memorials to their former glory 

without damaging the fine detail and contours 

or detracting from the artist’s original vision. 

Intricate surface designs can be cleaned 

without any damage, as there are no 

chemicals used and the process is a gentle 

one. Likewise, public memorials can be fully 

appreciated if they are clean and all writing 

and inscriptions is clearly visible. 

swimming pools 

Abrasive blasting is effective both in cleaning 

pool surrounds and creating non-slip 

pathways, but also for cleaning pool interiors, 

or stripping and restoring them in preparation 

for re-surfacing or re-tiling. 


estoration 

Abrasive blasting can be used for a variety of 

purposes in the restoration and renovation of 

all types of buildings and structures, including 

domestic and commercial premises as well 

as all types of industrial and manufacturing 

spaces. 

In Adelaide, many of our 

finest heritage buildings 

and residences are 

located within high-density 

areas, and therefore they 

are particularly prone to 

suffering from traffic and 

environmental pollution and 

degradation. Sandstone and 

bluestone, historically the 

stones used in the majority 

of Adelaide buildings, 

can become severely 

discoloured and this leads 

not only to a deterioration in 

appearance but also to the 

overall integrity of the stone 

as result of decay. 

However, wet abrasive 

blasting means that years 

of soot, grime and fumes 

build up can be removed 

quickly but without causing 

any damage to the surface. 

More gentle than sand 

blasting and other types of 

cleaning, abrasive blasting 

is ideal for use on softer 

stones like sandstone, 

bluestone, limestone and 

masonry. 

The Quill Falcon Kwikblast® 

Dustless Blasting 

System is economical, 

environmentally-friendly and 

non-toxic. No chemicals 

are used and therefore 

there is no negative 

environmental impact. Little 

dust is produced and so our 

abrasive blasting services 

can be employed in heritage 

or residential areas without 

the need for encapsulation 

or causing undue disruption. 

Heritage restorations of 

sandstone or bluestone 

buildings, houses and 

cottages naturally requires 

additional care and 

sensitivity and abrasive 

blasting using the Quill 

Falcon Dustless Blast 

System is the ideal solution. 


Abrasive blasting is an essential tool in a wide 

variety of building renovation applications. It offers 

a versatile, efficient, thorough but gentle cleaning 

process that makes it ideal in all kinds of renovation 

and restoration tasks. 

Whether stripping paint from interior and exterior 

walls, cleaning oil-stained driveways and car parks, 

removing graffiti, repairing flood or fire damage, 

undertaking a sensitive heritage restoration or 

renovating memorials or public art works, our 

abrasive blasting services are the ideal cleaning and 

preparation solution 

renovation, restoration or resale 

If you’re a homeowner, builder, house painter or property manger 

renovating or redecorating a home, or preparing it for sale or 

rental, stripping away old, existing layers of paint is vital before 

repainting. Abrasive blasting cleans away all residual paint 

layers leaving an extremely smooth, even finish that is the ideal 

preparation for repainting. 

Likewise, if your brickwork or stonework, fences and walls, 

driveway or outdoor living area need to be cleaned and revitalised 

before a resale or renting out, abrasive blasting strips away oil 

and mould stains, residue and corrosion, and restores all types of 

surfaces to pristine condition.
