Abrasive Blasting Heritage Restoration
Heritage Building Restoration & Media Blasting
Unlike modern structures, historic buildings often feature aged wood, masonry, and finishes that cannot withstand aggressive cleaning methods. Media blasting provides a controlled, low-impact solution that allows surfaces to be cleaned and restored without compromising the integrity or character of the structure.
Ocean Pacific Media Blasting specializes in media blasting techniques suited specifically for heritage and historically significant buildings. By selecting the appropriate media and pressure levels, we are able to remove surface contaminants, biological growth, and weathering while preserving original substrates and architectural details.

Parksville Museum Heritage Preservation Project
In 2017, the manager of the Parksville Museum, Nikki, hired Ocean Pacific to spray the logs with Penetreat. One of the heritage buildings was the French Creek Post Office, built in 1888.
Penetreat is an environmentally friendly fungicide and insecticide which prevents investation and wood rot.
