Specialized Painting for Equestrian Facility in Fort Collins, CO
A Commercial Case Study by CertaPro Painters® of Boulder and Longmont
Industrial Coating Application for Equestrian Facility Equipment – Fort Collins, CO
In 2026, CertaPro Painters® of Boulder and Longmont completed a specialized industrial coating project at an operational equestrian facility in Fort Collins. The facility houses advanced training, rehabilitation, and research equipment, including a highly specialized equine treadmill system used for horse conditioning and performance analysis. The project required the application of a high-performance coating system designed to withstand moisture, frequent cleaning, and heavy use, all while allowing daily operations and animal care to continue without disruption.
Given the sensitivity of the environment, the project demanded strict safety protocols, advanced environmental controls, and detailed coordination with facility management to protect both the equipment and the animals.
The completed project delivered a durable, industrial-grade coating system capable of withstanding the facility’s demanding conditions. The refreshed surfaces now provide long-term protection, improved cleanability, and enhanced durability while meeting all operational and safety requirements. Most importantly, the work was completed without interrupting daily activities, reinforcing CertaPro Painters® of Fort Collins’ expertise in highly specialized, operational commercial environments.
PROJECT SCOPE
PROJECT SCOPEThe scope of work included application of an industrial primer followed by a high-performance epoxy topcoat system engineered for demanding commercial and research environments.
All surfaces of the equipment were carefully prepared to meet coating specifications, and the work was executed with continuous quality control inspections to ensure compliance with performance standards. The project also required detailed project management and contractor coordination to align timelines with facility operations and animal care schedules.
SPECIAL TECHNIQUES:
A key focus of the project was protecting the equine treadmill system, which features mechanical components, control panels, and safety systems requiring precise clearances to function properly. Extensive masking and protection were installed around the equipment to prevent overspray or dust intrusion.
The team maintained a dust-free environment throughout the application process to avoid contamination of moving parts. Careful navigation around sensitive components and adherence to strict safety and cleanliness protocols ensured the equipment remained fully operational during and after the project.
TIMELINE:
The project was completed within three days without impacting training schedules or animal care routines.
