Pipe and Tank Coatings

Protective coatings for the pipes and tanks that keep your facility running.

Tanks and pipes may not be the most visible part of your operation, but when they fail, everything stops. Corrosion, leaks, and surface damage don’t just affect equipment—they put your productivity, safety, and compliance at risk.


That’s why routine inspections, maintenance, and applying the right protective coatings for the job is critical. There’s just no better way to avoid unplanned expenses and downtime.


At ELCO Painting, we specialize in pipe and tank painting that strengthens this critical infrastructure and keeps your systems protected. From abrasive blasting to specialty coatings, we work efficiently, safely, and with the right products for your environment. That means you can spend more time focusing on operations, and less time dealing with avoidable issues.


Here’s what you can expect:


  • Abrasive blasting to remove failed coatings and prep surfaces
  • High-performance industrial coatings tailored to your facility’s demands
  • Protective finishes for tanks, pipes, and process equipment
  • Safe, compliant applications with minimal disruption

Did you know…


Old or failing coatings don’t just look bad—they often hide corrosion beneath the surface.



Our team uses abrasive blasting to remove compromised layers and fully prepare surfaces, ensuring that new coatings bond properly and deliver the protection your equipment needs to stay in service longer.

No stress. No surprises. Just the next-level painting experience you deserve.
