Powder coating for data center infrastructure

Cable tray, ladder rack and the steel that carries a data center's wiring is ordered in quantity and installed on a deadline. We coat it in batches, keep the color identical from run to run and leave the bonding points bare.

How we handle this work

Every job goes through the same strip, blast, coat and cure. These are the parts of it that matter most for data center infrastructure work.

See the full process
Bare bonding points
Grounding and bonding points are masked before blasting so they stay bare metal and the electrician's connection is not through a coat of powder.
Identical from run to run
Trays ordered in phases have to match on the wall. We record the powder lot and finish so phase two matches phase one.
Quantity and lengths
Long tray and ladder sections up to 20 feet go through in one piece, racked so a run comes out evenly coated.
On your install date
Tell us the delivery window. Pickup and delivery are available across Maryland, Northern Virginia and DC.
