Who we are

Built on
precision

Our mission

Laser Blasting Tennessee LLC was founded by Petr Yurchenko — a specialist laser ablation practitioner with extensive operational experience running industrial laser systems in demanding field environments.

Our focus is simple: bring the most technically advanced surface preparation method available to clients across the continental United States who are currently paying too much for sandblasting and getting a worse result.

Unlike traditional sandblasting, laser ablation is a clean, dry, non-abrasive process. No silica dust. No contaminated blast media to dispose of. No substrate erosion. No chemicals. Just a precise beam that removes exactly what needs removing — and nothing else.

We work with

  • Civil & structural engineers
  • General contractors & project managers
  • State and municipal DOTs
  • Industrial plant operators
  • Fleet and vehicle operators
  • Heritage & conservation specialists
  • Property owners and managers
  • Roofing and building contractors
Credentials & capability

Why we're
different

Field-proven operational experience
Petr Yurchenko has operated industrial laser systems in real field conditions across multiple years of commercial deployments.
3 patent-pending innovations
Three provisional patents filed in 2026 covering novel laser ablation methodologies and application techniques developed in the field.
4 published technical papers
Published technical papers on laser coating removal methodology. We don't just operate the equipment — we understand the physics.
Dual laser configuration
Running both a precision laser system and an industrial laser system — covering delicate heritage work through to heavy infrastructure in a single mobilization.

Environmental commitment

Zero waste
by design

No silica hazard
Zero airborne crystalline silica. OSHA and EPA compliant by default — no special permits or dust monitoring required.
No abrasive waste
No spent blast media to collect, contain, or dispose of. Particulate is captured at source by our integrated extraction system.
No chemical runoff
Dry process only. No chemical solvents, no contaminated wash water, no wet slurry. Clean entry, clean exit.
