- 01
NEW MACHINES. FULLY SEALED.
Two brand new John Deere 550 P-Tier dozers coated with InduroPro ceramicized epoxy before their first marine jobsite — every painted surface and bare metal sealed from day one.
- 02
INDUROPRO. THREE KITS EACH.
Three 17oz kits of InduroPro provided complete coverage on each dozer — full exterior, bare metal components, and every surface heading into marine construction conditions.
- 03
GUARDIAN PRO INSTALLED IT.
Guardian Pro Systems, InduroPro's certified installer in Broussard, LA, applied both machines — the same team that has coated heavy equipment for some of the most demanding operations in the Gulf South.
- 04
PROTECTED FOR FIVE YERAS.
Every treated surface on both dozers is now backed by InduroPro's 5-year guarantee against rust, corrosion, UV fading, oxidation, and the chemical exposure that marine jobsites deliver every day.
MARINE CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT AND SURFACE PROTECTION. THE STAKES ARE HIGHER NEAR THE WATER
WEEKS MARINE OPERATES WHERE EQUIPMENT TAKES ITS HARDEST BEATING. INDUROPRO WAS BUILT FOR EXACTLY THAT.
Weeks Marine is one of the most respected marine infrastructure contractors in the country, with over a century of experience in construction, dredging, tunneling, and marine services. Their equipment operates in the harshest environments heavy machinery faces. Coastal construction sites expose machines to salt air, tidal moisture, standing water, chemical runoff, UV radiation, and the kind of corrosive conditions that accelerate surface degradation faster than any inland jobsite. For an operation running heavy iron in marine and coastal environments, rust and corrosion are not distant threats. They are active, daily forces working against every unprotected surface from the first day a machine rolls onto the job.
InduroPro ceramicized epoxy coating was originally engineered and proven in marine environments before it was brought to agricultural, fleet, and construction equipment. The science behind InduroPro was built for exactly the conditions Weeks Marine's equipment operates in. When Weeks Marine acquired two new John Deere 550 P-Tier dozers through Doggett, the decision to protect them with InduroPro before they ever hit a jobsite was the most direct application of that marine-grade protection available. Guardian Pro Systems, InduroPro's certified installer in Broussard, LA, applied three 17oz kits to each machine after an acetone wipe-down of all painted surfaces and bare metals. Both dozers left the shop sealed, protected, and ready for whatever Weeks Marine's jobsites throw at them.
NEW MACHINES. THE RIGHT TIME TO APPLY INDUROPRO.
PROTECTING A NEW DOZER BEFORE IT SEES ITS FIRST SEASON IS THE SMARTEST APPLICATION OF INDUROPRO THERE IS.
Most InduroPro applications restore machines that have already been through years of UV fading, oxidation, and surface wear. This project is different. These John Deere 550 P-Tier dozers were brand new at application. Guardian Pro Systems prepped every surface with acetone and applied InduroPro over fresh factory paint and bare metal before a single hour of marine jobsite exposure had accumulated.
Coating a new machine before its first season means InduroPro's ceramicized epoxy barrier is in place from day one. There is no UV fading to reverse, no oxidation to seal over, no corrosion already working into the substrate. The protection goes on clean, bonds at the molecular level to a pristine surface, and creates a barrier that will stand up to the salt air, moisture, chemical exposure, and UV radiation of marine construction environments from the very first day these dozers go to work. For equipment heading into the conditions Weeks Marine operates in, that is not a luxury. It is the right call.
GUARDIAN PRO SYSTEMS — CERTIFIED INDUROPRO INSTALLER, BROUSSARD, LA
THE TEAM THAT KNOWS HOW TO COAT HEAVY IRON RIGHT.
Guardian Pro Systems in Broussard, LA is InduroPro's certified installer in the Gulf South, with hands-on experience applying ceramicized epoxy coating to heavy construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and industrial assets across the region. For the Weeks Marine project, the Guardian team applied three 17oz kits per dozer across the full machine — exterior panels, cab surfaces, blade components, undercarriage framing, and every piece of bare metal that would otherwise be exposed to the marine jobsite conditions these machines are headed into. Every surface prepped with acetone. Every surface coated. No shortcuts on machines this significant heading into environments this demanding.
TWO DOZERS. SIX KITS. PROTECTED FROM DAY ONE.
THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN YOU PROTECT THE INVESTMENT BEFORE THE ENVIRONMENT GETS TO IT.
The post-application images of both John Deere 550 P-Tier dozers tell the story of a decision made at the right time. Fresh factory yellow sealed under InduroPro ceramicized epoxy. Bare metal components coated and protected. Cab surfaces, blade, undercarriage framing, every surface Guardian touched is now sealed against the rust, corrosion, UV fading, oxidation, and chemical exposure that marine and coastal construction environments deliver every day. These machines did not need restoring. They needed protecting. And they got it before a single season of marine jobsite exposure had a chance to change that.
For equipment owners and fleet managers making decisions about machinery heading into demanding environments, the Weeks Marine project makes the case for proactive protection as clearly as any before and after can. There is no before here. Just two new John Deere 550 P-Tier dozers, fully coated, fully protected, and backed by InduroPro's 5-year guarantee from the day they left Guardian Pro Systems' shop in Broussard, LA. Six kits of InduroPro ceramicized epoxy. Two machines ready for whatever Weeks Marine's jobsites demand.
INDUROPRO FOR HEAVY CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT. MARINE-GRADE PROTECTION ON LAND.
BUILT IN THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT. PROVEN ON HEAVY IRON. PROTECT YOUR MACHINES BEFORE THE JOBSITE DOES ITS WORK.
InduroPro ceramicized epoxy coating was engineered and proven in marine environments before it was brought to construction, agricultural, and fleet equipment. The science was built to stand up to salt air, moisture, chemical exposure, UV radiation, and the corrosive conditions that destroy unprotected surfaces faster near water than anywhere else. That origin is what makes InduroPro the right protection for equipment heading into the environments Weeks Marine operates in, and for any heavy construction operation where machines face demanding surface conditions every day.
The John Deere 550 P-Tier dozers at Weeks Marine are coated and protected before their first season. Guardian Pro Systems handled the application. Six kits of InduroPro across two machines. Every surface sealed, every bare metal component protected, and five years of guarantee backing every inch of it. For construction fleet managers, equipment owners, and operations running heavy iron in marine, coastal, or chemically aggressive environments, this is what proactive surface protection looks like. Do not wait for the rust to start. Coat it before it does.
