Bluechip Industrial Services strengthens national capability with BlueCoatings expansion

Western Australia’s industrial sector continues to evolve as Bluechip Industrial Services (BIS) formally introduces BlueCoatings, which has been operating successfully for over six months and is now expanding to meet growing demand.

The expansion strengthens BIS’s ability to deliver integrated solutions across mining, construction, and heavy industrial projects, providing clients with a trusted provider for abrasive blasting and protective coatings services nationwide.

BlueCoatings

BlueCoatings delivers high-quality abrasive blasting and industrial coatings across both field and workshop operations, backed by over 20 years of hands-on industry experience.

It provides end-to-end coatings solutions, ensuring assets are properly prepared, protected, and maintained to perform in harsh Australian conditions. Work includes surface preparation, abrasive blasting, protective coatings, and finishing, tailored to each project’s environment and requirements.

With fully equipped mobile blasting and painting units, BlueCoatings offers flexible, nationwide delivery. This enables efficient on-site execution while maintaining workshop-level quality, even in remote or high-demand environments.

To support continued growth, BIS is currently constructing a third dome facility at its Wattleup location, expanding workshop capacity and reinforcing its ability to service large-scale and concurrent projects.

Lester Yuzon, Operations Manager of BlueCoatings, said:

“We’ve spent the last six months building a strong foundation, getting the right people, processes, and systems in place. The demand we’re seeing now reflects that. Expanding our facilities at Wattleup means we can keep delivering consistently, even as project volumes increase.”

BlueCoatings is supported by a skilled workforce and certified coatings inspectors, ensuring all work meets strict quality and compliance standards across shutdowns, new builds, and maintenance programs.

Scaling to Meet Demand

Brian Mangan, Managing Director of BIS, said:

“BlueCoatings has already proven itself in a short period of time. What we’re seeing now is a natural next step, scaling the operation to meet demand while maintaining the quality and consistency our clients expect. It’s a key part of how we continue to build out our service offering nationally.”

BlueCoatings supports a wide range of sectors, including mining, agriculture, ports and terminals, water and power, and public and private infrastructure.

BlueCoatings is now fully operational and continuing to expand its capacity to support projects across Australia.
