    This document discusses steel grit blasting basics, including that it can be used for new construction, existing structures, and with automated or manual equipment. It addresses project and environmental criteria to consider like cleanliness requirements and disposal. Different abrasive types are mentioned like steel grit and shot. The goals are the three R's of being repeatable, recyclable, and reducing waste. Issues like abrasive size, chemistry, and hardness specifications are covered in relation to cleaning performance and costs. Case studies demonstrate how analyzing abrasives used can identify issues causing extra time, material consumption and coating needs. Controlling the work mix and blast angles can improve profile and reduce waste.
