Generators, stators, and windings
Carbon tracking, oil film, and dust removed without solvent soak or an extended dry-out period.
Dry ice blasting for power generation & utilities
Electrical assets are the clearest case for CO2 blasting. The media is non-conductive and leaves no residue, so windings, stators, switchgear, bus, and insulators can be cleaned without the moisture and grit that make traditional methods unusable on this equipment.

Why it matters
Outage windows are the scarcest resource in generation and transmission work. Removing the dry-out step from a cleaning scope directly compresses return-to-service time.
Where it gets used
Switchgear, bus, and insulators
Contamination removed from surfaces where water intrusion would create a re-energization risk.
Turbines and heat exchange surfaces
Deposits removed in place with no abrasive loss to blade or tube surfaces.
Substation and transformer components
Dust, salt deposits, and environmental fallout cleaned from enclosures and radiators — a coastal-corridor priority.
Cable trays and control rooms
Post-event soot and residue removed from cable, trays, and panels after an electrical fire.
How we run the work
- Non-conductive media with no post-cleaning dry-out requirement
- Executed inside your LOTO, arc-flash, and NFPA 70E boundary program
- CO2 monitoring and ventilation for pits, vaults, and enclosed rooms
- Documented per-asset settings suitable for outage and maintenance records
Carolina context
Both Carolinas run a dense generation and transmission network — nuclear, gas, hydro, and a fast-growing solar and battery footprint — plus coastal substations fighting chloride deposition. Salt-air corrosion control on the Cape Fear and Lowcountry coasts is a recurring, water-averse cleaning problem.
Questions we get
Is the equipment cleaned energized?
De-energized under your LOTO program is the default. Energized work happens only within your own electrical safety program and boundary rules.
Is there a re-energization delay?
There is no added moisture, so there is no dry-out hold. Equipment can typically be returned to service as soon as the work area is cleared.
Can you work inside vaults and pits?
Yes, with CO2 monitoring and forced ventilation sized for the space, coordinated with your confined-space permitting.
