COncrete shot blasting

47 Years Strong  •  Safety Driven  •  Built on Integrity

Concrete shot blasting is a mechanical surface preparation process that propels small steel beads, or “shot,” at high velocity onto a concrete surface. This controlled impact removes contaminants, old coatings, and surface irregularities while creating a textured profile that improves coating adhesion. 



As the machine blasts the surface, an integrated vacuum system immediately recovers the shot and debris, leaving a clean, dry, and dust-free finish. 

Unlike grinding, which relies on abrasion, shot blasting creates a deeper, more uniform profile that helps new materials bond securely to the existing slab. It’s one of the most effective and environmentally friendly ways to prepare concrete for long-term performance. 

Concrete Shot Blasting Applications We Handle

Our shot blasting services are ideal for commercial, industrial, and municipal projects that require a clean, properly prepared surface. Common applications include: 


  • Removing coatings, adhesives, paint, or epoxy 
  • Preparing surfaces for new coatings, overlays, or sealants 
  • Cleaning and profiling industrial and warehouse floors 
  • Restoring parking decks, bridges, or public walkways 
  • Improving traction and safety on worn concrete surfaces 


No matter the application, Kansas City Coring & Cutting tailors the blast profile and depth to your specific material and project requirements. 

While grinding and sanding have their place, shot blasting is often the preferred method when a deeper, more consistent surface profile is needed. It removes heavy coatings quickly, opens pores in the concrete for better adhesion, and does so without introducing chemicals or water. This makes it ideal for industrial, commercial, and infrastructure applications where long-term performance and cleanliness are top priorities. 


For projects requiring lighter profiling or polishing, our team also offers grinding and polishing services — allowing you to choose the exact finish your project demands.
