Industrial Coatings That Protect Assets and Extend Service Life

TMI Coatings delivers asset protection through industrial coating applications. For more than 40 years, municipalities, manufacturers, utilities, and facility owners have trusted our crews to extend the service life of tanks, towers, stacks, floors, and roofs in environments where corrosion, safety, and compliance carry real consequences.

From tank linings and water tower repainting to floor and roof coating systems, our teams manage every phase: surface preparation, abrasive blasting, application, and final inspection. Work is planned around your operations to minimize downtime and protect the assets you depend on, year after year.

Why Facility Owners Choose TMI Coatings

AMPP QP1 and QP2 certified for complex steel structures and hazardous environments

TMI holds both AMPP QP1 and QP2 certifications, the industry’s most rigorous credentials for industrial coating contractors. QP1 certifies our quality systems, surface preparation standards, and application expertise on complex steel structures. QP2 certifies our ability to safely execute hazardous coating removal, including lead-based paint abatement, with documented worker protection and environmental controls.

These aren’t honorary designations. AMPP certification requires third-party audits, verified safety programs, trained personnel, and demonstrated performance records. Many regulated industries, federal agencies, and critical infrastructure owners require QP1 and QP2 contractors by specification, because the stakes are too high to use anyone else.When you hire TMI, you’re hiring a contractor whose qualifications have been independently verified.

For more than 40 years, TMI has protected the assets that industrial facilities can’t afford to lose. We’ve coated above-ground storage tanks, elevated water towers, smokestacks and exhaust systems, grain silos and agricultural bins, industrial roofs, structural steel, and processing equipment across manufacturing, utilities, food production, water treatment, and heavy industry.

That depth of experience matters because no two assets age the same way. A water tower in a coastal climate presents different challenges than a chemical tank in a food plant. Our crews bring hands-on knowledge of substrate conditions, access requirements, coating system behavior, and failure modes, earned project by project across decades of field work.

We don’t just apply coatings. We understand what it takes to make them last.

Industrial coating work involves real hazards; confined spaces, elevated structures, abrasive blasting, chemical exposure, and live facilities. TMI’s safety program is built for these environments, not adapted from a generic template.

Every TMI project is executed under documented safety plans that include confined space permitting and air monitoring, fall protection and elevated work protocols, hazardous material handling and disposal procedures, site-specific PPE requirements, and emergency response planning. Our crews are trained, current, and accountable. OSHA compliance is the floor, not the ceiling; our goal is zero incidents, every time.

Your facility has its own safety requirements. We come prepared to meet them and integrate with your site’s protocols from day one.

Most industrial facilities can’t simply shut down for coating work. TMI has spent decades developing the planning and coordination skills to work around your operations, not against them.

We phase projects to isolate work areas from active production, align coating schedules with planned maintenance windows and shutdowns, coordinate with your facility team to sequence prep, application, and cure times, and use off-hour and weekend scheduling when needed to protect your throughput. Containment systems, ventilation controls, and careful logistics mean that work happening in one part of your facility doesn’t compromise what’s happening in another.

The goal isn’t just to complete the project. It’s to complete it without disrupting the operations that depend on the facility we’re protecting.

Vague scopes and verbal commitments create problems. TMI operates on documented processes that give you clarity before, during, and after every project.

Every engagement begins with a written proposal that defines the scope of work, surface preparation standards, coating systems and materials, project schedule, and safety requirements. A dedicated job leader is assigned to your project and stays on it through completion, one person you can call, who knows your facility, your timeline, and your expectations. Changes to scope are documented and approved, not quietly added to the final invoice.

This level of accountability isn’t just good business. It’s what separates a contractor you can trust from one you have to manage.

Every TMI project concludes with a formal final walkthrough conducted with your facility representative. We don’t consider a project complete until you’ve seen the work firsthand and signed off on it.

During the walkthrough, we review surface coverage and coating condition, verify that all areas meet specification, address any punch-list items before we leave, and provide project documentation including material data sheets, application records, and warranty information. Our Customer Confidence Guarantee means we stand behind what we deliver, not just at project close, but over the life of the coating system.

You invested in protection. We make sure you get it.

Industries We Serve

We understand that each industry comes with unique regulations, operating constraints, and performance requirements. Our teams are trained to work safely and efficiently in active facilities and regulated environments.

Agriculture

Agricultural facilities face extreme weather exposure, corrosive fertilizers and chemicals, moisture and humidity, grain dust, animal waste, and seasonal temperature fluctuations that accelerate steel and concrete deterioration.

Federal Government

Government facilities require strict compliance with federal specifications, competitive bidding processes, prevailing wage requirements, and long-term performance documentation, all while managing public funds responsibly.

Food Processing

Food processing facilities require coating systems that withstand thermal shock, moisture, aggressive cleaning chemicals, and steam sanitation, while meeting strict FDA, USDA, and food safety compliance standards.

Education

Educational facilities require durable, low-maintenance coatings that withstand heavy foot traffic, resist vandalism, support healthy indoor environments, and work within limited budgets and academic schedules.

Hospitals

Healthcare facilities require coating systems that support infection control, withstand frequent cleaning with hospital-grade disinfectants, maintain indoor air quality, and allow work in occupied, sensitive environments.

Manufacturing

Heavy equipment traffic, impact damage, welding spatter, oil contamination, chemical exposure, and production debris create harsh conditions that destroy standard coating systems.

Power/Utilities

Extreme temperatures, thermal cycling, fly ash, sulfur compounds, outdoor exposure, and critical infrastructure protection require specialized high-performance coating systems.

Property Management

Commercial property managers need cost-effective coating solutions that extend asset life, improve tenant satisfaction, reduce maintenance costs, and work within occupied building constraints.

Water & Wastewater

Constant moisture exposure, biological activity, hydrogen sulfide corrosion, chemical treatment agents, and UV exposure create aggressive environments that rapidly degrade unprotected steel and concrete.
