Pinovo’s solution has been awarded the Solar Impulse Foundation Efficient Solution Label! Bertrand Piccard  and André Borschberg completed their circumnavigation of the globe with the solar-powered aircraft Solar Impulse in 2016. To address environmental challenges while enabling economic growth, Bertrand Piccard then launched, through the Solar Impulse Foundation, the challenge to select 1000 solutions, that can protect the environment in a profitable way and present them to decision-makers to fast-track their implementation. A way to take the success of the solar-powered flight around the world further. The award follows a rigorous application process, internal Solar Impulse Foundation analysis, and then reviews by their external independent experts. Read more!

Paint protects steel structures from corrosion. When performing maintenance on these structures, old paint and rust is removed, and new paint is applied.  With the use of traditional methods for maintenance, the removed paint is normally emitted to the oceans. Paint is plastic.  The removed, tiny paint particles are microplastics.

The future of surface preparation

Pinovo supplies innovative and patented technology for dust-free abrasive vacuum blasting of industrial surfaces, and offer:
- Zero emissions to the environment
- Recycling of the grit blasting media
- Reduced waste and CO2 emissions

By performing continuous maintenance, preferably with rope access techniques, Pinovo can offer a cost-effective alternative to the current way of maintaining steel structures. ​Our ATEX-certified closed loop grit blasting technology (also known as vacuum blasting or dustless / dust-free blasting), helps our customers to save money, improve HSE and protect the environment, without compromising on surface quality.
