Industrial painting on Montreal's South Shore
Induscoat provides anti-corrosion industrial painting for plants, warehouses and sites on Montreal's South Shore, from Longueuil to Saint-Hyacinthe and from Varennes to Châteauguay. We apply liquid paint on site, on what cannot be taken apart: structures, tanks, equipment and buildings. Our crews cross over from LaSalle. Send photos and dimensions: quote within 24 business hours.
What do you paint on the South Shore?
Anything made of steel or concrete on an industrial or commercial site that has to resist corrosion. Structures: frames, joists, walkways, pipe racks, stairs. Tanks: shells, roofs and internal linings. Equipment: conveyors, silos, hoppers, dust collectors, machine frames, process piping.
We also paint plant and warehouse envelopes: ceilings and metal deck, walls, columns, dock doors and steel cladding. Work is carried out by our crews and qualified subcontractors. We do not paint houses or housing: the service is for industrial and commercial sites.
Which South Shore cities do you serve?
The Longueuil agglomeration first: Longueuil, Saint-Hubert, Boucherville, Brossard and Saint-Bruno. Along the river, Varennes and its industrial zones. Along the highway heading east: Sainte-Julie, Beloeil and Saint-Hyacinthe, with its food processing plants. To the west: Châteauguay and neighbouring municipalities.
We have no premises on the South Shore. LaSalle is just across the river: crews and mobile units cross the bridges for each job, which allows quick survey visits and jobs done in several stages.
Shop powder coating or liquid paint on site: what is the difference?
They are two different trades. Powder coating is done in a shop: the part is dismantled, trucked, sprayed with an electrostatic gun, then baked in an oven. It suits removable parts that fit in the oven: guardrails, enclosures, brackets, parts made in series. The finish is even and hard.
Liquid paint is applied where the asset stands, by spray, roller or brush, in several coats that cure in air. That is what Induscoat does. We do not operate a powder coating shop: if your need is a run of small removable parts, a powder coating shop will serve you better, and we will tell you so.
When is liquid paint on site the only option?
As soon as the asset cannot go into an oven. A bolted or welded frame, a tank, a silo, a conveyor in service or connected piping stay where they are. Parts too large or too heavy for an oven are in the same situation, as is equipment containing seals, bearings or electrical components that baking would damage.
Liquid is also the answer for touch-ups and maintenance of an asset that is already painted, and whenever the environment calls for a thick multi-coat system: zinc-rich primer, high-solids epoxy, immersion or chemical-resistant lining. These systems are formulated for field application.
How is the paint system chosen?
By ISO 12944, which sorts environments into corrosivity categories and matches each one with systems and a target durability. The dry interior of a warehouse does not have the same needs as an outdoor structure exposed to de-icing salts from South Shore highways, a wet room in a food plant or a tank in immersion.
We record the actual exposure, the condition of the existing paint and the service life you are aiming for, then propose a complete system: primer, intermediate coat and topcoat, at the thicknesses on the data sheet. Coatings are our core business, and our protective coatings page describes this approach in detail.
What surface preparation comes before painting?
The one the system requires. Preparation decides how long a paint job lasts far more than the product brand does. For new or heavily rusted steel, that means abrasive blasting to the specified SSPC grade, done on site with a mobile unit. For maintenance repainting where the old paint is still sound, power tool cleaning (SSPC-SP 3, SP 11) or hydro blasting may be enough.
Before any repaint, we check the adhesion of the old film and its compatibility with the new one, and have the paint analyzed if it may contain lead. The surface is then degreased, dusted off and painted without delay.
What inspection and documents do you receive?
A file showing the system was applied as planned. Before each coat, we measure air and steel temperature, relative humidity and dew point. After blasting, the cleanliness grade and surface profile are checked. Each coat is measured for dry film thickness to SSPC-PA 2, and defects are corrected before the next one.
For an immersion lining, a holiday test and an adhesion test are added. At the end, you receive the readings, data sheets and photos. Inspection by an independent third party can be arranged if your specification calls for it.

Operational mobilization
No premises on the South Shore: crews and mobile units cross over from LaSalle for each job. We plan the survey, the work window (zone by zone in operation, or during a shutdown) and the site permits with you before arriving.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have a paint shop on the South Shore?
No. Induscoat has no shop or office on the South Shore. Our mobile crews leave from LaSalle, Montreal, and paint at your site. For removable parts that need oven baking, powder coating is done in a shop, with our qualified subcontractors when the project calls for it.
How much does industrial painting cost on the South Shore?
Pricing is by quote. It depends on area, height and access, the preparation required, the number of coats, containment and the work window. Our industrial painting cost guide goes through these factors. Send photos and dimensions: quote within 24 business hours.
Can painting be done while the plant is running?
Yes, zone by zone, with screens, ventilation and protection of nearby equipment and products. In a food plant, work is done outside production hours with products suited to the environment. Areas that cannot be reached during operation are done in a shutdown.
Do you paint outdoors in winter?
Only if the data sheet conditions are met: the product's minimum temperature and enough margin above dew point. Otherwise, a heated enclosure is needed, or the work moves to the warm season. Interior work is done year-round.
Do you also do the blasting before painting?
Yes. Abrasive blasting, power tool cleaning or hydro blasting are part of the same quote, and the primer is applied right after to avoid flash rust.
