ICRALA: Induction Coating Removal & Laser Ablation

ICRALA is a patent-protected process that unites induction coating removal with laser ablation for precise, eco-friendly remediation. Over 35 years in the field, more than 1,000 projects handled and over 500 projects completed across commercial, industrial, government and military work.

What ICRALA Does

ICRALA provides a patented process, control methodology and field know-how for targeted coating removal and surface conditioning on critical infrastructure. Induction heating releases the coating from the substrate, and high-precision laser ablation finishes the surface preparation. The result is lower waste, less rework and higher compliance, without broad demolition or full containment in many scenarios.

Applications

• Bridges and overpasses - lead paint and coating removal on steel structures without full containment.
• Historic preservation - precise removal that protects the underlying substrate and original material.
• Maritime and naval vessels - hull and deck surface preparation, including U.S. Navy studies of laser ablation for ship surface prep.
• Pipelines and storage tanks - coating removal and surface conditioning for inspection and recoating.
• Industrial and nuclear facilities - targeted remediation where precision, containment and safety are critical.

The Technology

• Laser ablation technology - advanced laser systems for superior coating and contaminate removal.
• Induction coating removal - heat-based release of bonded coatings from metal substrates.
• Safety and monitoring systems - point-source fume extraction, HEPA filtration and strict compliance practices integrated into field operations.
• Specialized equipment - professional-grade tooling for coating removal and surface preparation.

Why It Matters

• Precision and efficiency - treat only the areas that need work, preserving structural integrity and saving time.
• Eco-friendly - dramatically less blast media, dust and hazardous waste than sandblasting.
• Cost-effective - reduced containment, disposal and downtime costs.
• Industry recognition - covered by AMPP Materials Performance and used on bridge, Navy hangar and nuclear plant projects.

Credentials

• Licensed and certified crews trained in all aspects of coating removal and surface preparation.
• HAZWOPER (Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response) certified staff.
• Experience spanning Fortune 500 construction companies through to government agencies.
• Over 35 years of successful projects in commercial, industrial, government and military applications.
