2025-P3-Award-2-scaled-219x500

Celebrating projects that didn’t just clear the bar —
They redefined where the bar should be.

For fifty years, BlastOne has committed itself toward modernizing one of the toughest, most underappreciated trades in construction: industrial blasting and painting. We focus less on pushing products and more on delivering Superior Performance — real project success — by combining Superior Equipment, Superior Abrasives, and Superior Know-How.

Our dedication to this vision has produced the industry’s most systematic approach to completing projects Faster, Safer, and Cleaner.

We call it Performance 3.

 

Celebrating the Contractors and Manufacturers Who Help Define Superior Performance

Every year, thousands of blasting and coating projects are completed across North America — but only a select few rise to the top. These are the projects that push boundaries, break old assumptions, and prove what’s possible when Superior Equipment, Superior Abrasives, and Superior Know-How all come together.

This year, BlastOne is proud to honor ten companies whose 2025 projects exemplified the true spirit of Performance 3.

For over five decades, we’ve championed the idea that exponential improvements come from compounding small gains across the entire blasting system. And these recipients demonstrated exactly that — delivering work that was Faster, Safer, and Cleaner than industry expectations.
