The dust on your rafters, beams, ductwork and light fixtures is a housekeeping and fire risk long before anyone notices it — and in a combustible-dust facility, overhead accumulation is exactly what OSHA and NFPA inspectors look for. We reach it with rope access and high-reach methods and remove it with controlled, dust-appropriate techniques — most of it without stopping your line.
Dust settles where it is hardest to reach and easiest to ignore — until it falls into product or fuels a deflagration. We get it out from above, safely.
Our rope-access capability lets us clean rafters, trusses and congested overhead areas that scissor lifts and booms can't safely position under — the same capability we used on the CertainTeed kettle job.
Suspended dust from metal, wood, food, plastics and paper can deflagrate. Overhead accumulation is the fuel; removing it is the single most effective way to reduce the risk.
OSHA's Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program and NFPA 652/654 make overhead housekeeping an inspection item. Documented, scheduled cleaning supports your program.
Dust falling from above contaminates product and fouls equipment below. In food plants it can put an FDA or USDA inspection at risk.
We match the method to the dust — controlled vacuum and manual removal with proper grounding and bonding where combustible dust is present, so cleaning doesn't create the hazard it is meant to remove.
Most overhead work is scheduled around your operation — off-shifts, weekends, or planned downtime — with safeguards to keep dust out of equipment below.
From open rafters to congested cable trays — we remove accumulated dust from the structure above your operation.
Remove accumulated dust from open structure and joists across warehouses and production floors.
Clear dust from the tops of duct runs, trays and conduit where it settles unseen.
Detail piping, hangers and supports that collect production dust above the line.
Restore light output and clean high wall surfaces safely from height.
Remove buildup from bar joists, purlins and steel that standard housekeeping never reaches.
Clean the tops of equipment and collectors where fugitive dust concentrates.
Not for the dust itself. Dry-ice blasting can disperse fine dust and isn't the right tool for combustible accumulation. We remove combustible dust with controlled vacuum and manual methods using grounded, bonded, dust-appropriate equipment. We use dry ice where it is the right fit — greasy overhead equipment, for example.
OSHA's Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program and NFPA 652/654 housekeeping guidance. We don't certify your facility, but our documented cleaning supports your compliance program and inspection readiness.
Rope access, high-reach equipment and lifts, chosen per site. Rope access lets us position where lift equipment can't, safely.
Large overhead projects are quoted by scope. We walk the facility, assess accumulation and access, and give you a documented plan and price.
Usually yes — off-shift or zoned work with containment so dust doesn't fall into running equipment. Some areas need brief local downtime, and we flag those in the plan.
We serve industrial facilities throughout the Phoenix metro and travel for large-scale manufacturing jobs. Previous projects include CertainTeed / Saint-Gobain (Phoenix) and clients across Nevada and California.
