Laser Cleaning in Harahan, LA
Industrial laser cleaning for the Elmwood and Jefferson Highway corridor, minutes from our Metairie base.
Harahan and the Elmwood business district make up one of the densest concentrations of fabrication shops, distributors, equipment yards and light manufacturing in the New Orleans area, with River Road and the Mississippi River on one side and Jefferson Highway and the Huey P. Long Bridge on the other. Gulf South Laser is a few minutes away in Metairie, and we spend a lot of time in Harahan.
For shops and plants here the appeal is practical: laser cleaning strips rust, coatings and baked-on grease in place, with no blast media in the shop, no solvent waste and no drying time. Equipment goes back to work the same day.

Laser cleaning for Harahan properties, shops and fleets
Fabricators use us to prep steel before welding and coating, and to clean weld areas and fixtures without grinding. Machine shops and plastics operations use laser cleaning on molds, dies and tooling where abrasives would ruin a polished surface. Fleet and equipment yards along Jefferson Highway strip rust and failed paint off trailers, frames and attachments without hauling them to a blaster.
Harahan's older commercial and residential properties also have their share of iron fencing, gates and brick that need careful cleaning, and the laser handles those with the same equipment.
Laser cleaning in Harahan: frequently asked questions
Do you serve the Elmwood industrial area?
Yes. Harahan, Elmwood and the Jefferson Highway corridor are a core part of our service area, a short drive from our Metairie location.
Can you clean inside our shop?
Yes. The laser is handheld and the fume extraction unit captures what comes off the surface, so the work can be done indoors without filling the shop with dust.
Do you clean molds and tooling?
Yes. Laser cleaning removes release agent, resin and carbon from molds, dies and tooling without abrading the steel or changing dimensions.
Can you prep steel for welding or coating?
Yes. Laser cleaning removes rust, mill scale and old coatings and leaves a dry, residue-free surface ready for welding, primer or paint.
