A tank blasting contractor for a region built out of tanks.
Caddo Tank Blasting is an industrial tank sandblasting contractor based in Shreveport, Louisiana, serving the Ark-La-Tex. We blast and coat production tank batteries, water tanks, fuel ASTs, tank interiors, and plant steel, on site, to written standards, at published rates. That is the whole business, and the rest of this page explains how we run it.
The territory explains the trade. The Haynesville Shale put a generation of tank batteries across Bossier, DeSoto, and Caddo parishes, the Caddo-Pine Island field has worked steel for over a century, the port and the interstate keep plant and fuel tanks busy, and every parish town owns water steel. All of it stands in Gulf humidity, and humidity always wins eventually. Our job is making it lose slowly.
Two habits we will not break
First, the rates are published. The cost page prints per-square-foot rates by prep standard, per-tank ranges, mobilization, and the lead-paint adder. An operator budgeting a battery or a water board planning a season deserves real numbers before the first call, so the numbers are where anyone can read them, and the invoice matches the quote built from them.
Second, the standard gets verified, not claimed. Blast grades come from the AMPP definitions your coating warranty references, so we check profile with a gauge, record the readings, and hand the documentation over with the invoice: standard achieved, products applied, batch numbers. Coating work is invisible a week after it cures, and the paper is how invisible work stays honest.
The honest fine print
We test old coatings for lead before blasting them, we run permit-required confined space procedure on every interior entry, and we tell you in writing when a tank is past coating and belongs with your API 653 inspector and a welder first. Work outside our scope gets named, not absorbed. Email runs to sibo.wang@westbridgehome.com, photos and calls to (318) 708-2091.
Ready for numbers? Start with the rate sheet, find your parish on the service area pages, or just call. Rust works every day in this climate, and so do we.
