Power & Utilities Coating Contractor for Energy Infrastructure, Plants & Pipelines

Industrial painting, tank linings, pipe coating, containment systems, and structural steel protection for fossil fuel, hydroelectric, biomass, ethanol, and natural gas facilities across the continental U.S. — completed within your critical shutdown windows.

Industrial Coating & Restoration Services for Power Generation & Utility Facilities

Power generation and utility infrastructure operates under some of the most demanding coating conditions in any industry. Structural steel at natural gas compressor stations weathers decades of outdoor exposure. Acid containment systems at converted power plants must hold aggressive chemistry without a single failure point. ID fans at coal-fired plants require near-white metal blast preparation and chemically resistant linings to survive abrasive particulate and moisture cycling. Pipeline coating across hundreds of miles of right-of-way demands consistent surface preparation standards and multi-crew coordination.

TMI Coatings has served fossil fuel, hydroelectric, biomass, ethanol, natural gas, and utility facilities for over 40 years. We hold AMPP QP1 and QP2 certifications, operate with our own trained crews across the continental United States, and structure every project to fit within your planned outage or shutdown window. From multi-state pipeline coating for Northern Natural Gas — a Berkshire Hathaway company — to draft tube gate restoration at the Yellowtail Power Plant for the Bureau of Reclamation, our experience in critical energy infrastructure is deep and documented.

Coating Services for Power Generation & Utility Facilities

Stack & Structural Steel Painting

Abrasive blasting and high-performance coating for stacks, flues, structural steel, steel screens, and elevated infrastructure at power plants and energy facilities. Near-white metal blast preparation and zinc-rich primer systems for long-term corrosion protection in high-temperature and outdoor utility environments.

Pipeline & Pipe Coating

Surface preparation and coating for above-ground pipelines, compressor station piping, and utility pipe systems — including multi-district, multi-state pipeline projects requiring coordinated crew deployment, containment of spent abrasive, and consistent coating system application across large linear footprints.

Acid & Chemical Containment Linings

Chemical-resistant lining systems for acid containment areas, hydrochloric acid dikes, and chemical storage containment at power plants and energy processing facilities. FIBERLIFE vinyl ester systems for extreme acid exposure environments, including outdoor containment work requiring temporary construction heat in cold-weather conditions.

Tank Linings & Storage Vessel Coatings

Interior and exterior coatings for fuel oil tanks, methane spheres, above-ground storage tanks, digestors, and process vessels at power plants, biofuel facilities, and utility operations. 100% solids epoxy systems and specialty linings for concrete and steel substrates in immersion service.

ID Fan & Equipment Restoration

Sandblasting and specialty coating for induced draft fans, forced draft fans, and other rotating or high-wear equipment exposed to abrasive particulate, moisture, and aggressive process environments at power generation facilities.

Wet Well & Filtration Plant Coatings

Interior linings for wet wells, concrete containment structures, and filtration plant walls, floors, and structural steel — using confined space entry protocols and coating systems appropriate for continuous moisture and chemical exposure in utility infrastructure.

Why Choose TMI Coatings

Shutdown Window Execution — Single Contact for Multiple Scopes

ower plant and utility outages are tightly scheduled and expensive to extend. TMI deploys its own trained crews across multiple work scopes simultaneously, structural steel, pipe coating, containment linings, and floor systems, under a single point of contact. This eliminates subcontractor coordination delays and ensures every scope stays on the same schedule. Our track record includes completing projects within critical shutdown periods for fossil fuel, hydroelectric, and gas facilities nationwide.

TMI holds AMPP QP1 certification for surface preparation and coating application on complex industrial structures, and AMPP QP2 certification for hazardous paint removal. These certifications are routinely required by energy companies, utilities, and their engineering firms when specifying contractors for critical infrastructure coating work. Our documented quality systems, safety programs, and inspection processes meet the standards that utility procurement and project engineering teams expect.
TMI self-performs coating work across the continental United States with our own field crews — no subcontracting of core preparation and application work. We have executed multi-state pipeline coating projects across Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Iowa simultaneously, and completed large-scale structural coating on energy facility steel screens, tanks, and infrastructure across multiple regions. Scale is not a constraint.
Older power plants, compressor stations, and utility infrastructure frequently contain lead-based paint on structural steel, equipment, and building components. TMI’s AMPP QP2 certification covers the full scope of hazardous paint removal — including lead abatement for Northern Natural Gas compressor units across multiple districts — with proper PPE, containment, chip collection, and regulatory disposal documentation that utility operators and their environmental compliance teams require.
