Facilities Maintenance

Specialty Asset Coatings

Code-correct paint and protective coatings for fire hydrants, pumps, tanks, valves, bollards, and other commercial assets that fail when they're left to rust.

Overview

Fire hydrants painted to AWWA flow-rate codes. Pump skids, tanks, and valves recoated before corrosion turns into a leak. Bollards, light poles, dock-bumpers, and exterior steel kept inside spec — not interior latex slapped on metal. KMR runs a specialty coatings crew with industrial-grade product (Tnemec, Carboline, Sherwin-Williams Industrial), the right surface prep, and the documentation a fire marshal, water district, or insurance auditor will ask for.

What's included

The scope KMR delivers under specialty asset coatings.

  • Fire hydrants — AWWA M17 color-coded by available flow, NFPA 291 compliant
  • Pump skids, motors, and pump-house exteriors
  • Above-ground storage tanks (AST), day tanks, and process tanks
  • Valves, valve boxes, backflow preventers, and post indicator valves (PIVs)
  • Bollards, light poles, gate posts, dock bumpers, and exterior steel
  • Surface prep: SSPC-SP2 / SP3 / SP6 hand or power tool prep, abrasive blast where required
  • Industrial primer and topcoat systems — epoxy, urethane, alkyd, or zinc-rich per substrate
  • Confined-space entry (OSHA 1910.146), lift, and traffic-control where required
  • Manufacturer-backed coating warranty and per-asset documentation log

Cadence

How often this happens.

Recurring service schedules we typically run for property managers in the greater-Houston area. Final cadence is set in writing in the maintenance agreement.

  • Annual hydrant repaint — water districts, industrial campuses, and high-pile-storage warehouses
  • Three- to five-year cycle — bollards, light poles, exterior steel
  • Five- to seven-year cycle — tanks, pump skids, and process equipment
  • Per-event response after a strike, leak repair, or hot-work damage

Who it's for

The buyer we deliver this for.

Property managers, industrial facility owners, water districts, distribution and warehouse operators, and fire-protection compliance officers who need coatings on assets — not just walls — held to manufacturer spec and code.
