Lewis Waterworth

I commenced my career at the age of 18, joining my familys oil and gas blasting and painting business. Starting as a helper I swiftly ascended through various roles, acquiring expertise as a blaster, sprayer, supervisor, and inspector. Over the years, I diversified my skill set by working as an abseiler performing inspections on welds and structural steel.

In 2018, I took the entrepreneurial leap and founded Waterworth Sdn. Bhd., a company that revolutionized dustless blasting in East Malaysias shipyard industry. Our scope of work at Waterworth has been extensive, ranging from 150-meter-long oil tankers to 25-meter tugboats and everything in between. Our commitment to excellence is evident in our collaboration with esteemed clients such as Halliburton. Notably, we successfully refurbished hydrochloric acid tanks, a highly intricate project that resulted in a remarkable 20-year guarantee for the coating. To date, Waterworth SDN BHD has made a significant impact, having successfully completed blasting and painting projects covering over 5,000,000 square feet, showcasing our dedication to quality and precision. Our success is attributed to a meticulous adherence to industry standards and a steadfast commitment to following technical data sheet specifications.

One of my core principles is punctuality, recognizing its significance in maintaining a smooth workflow and meeting project deadlines. Additionally, my work ethic is rooted in a comprehensive understanding and application of industry standards, ensuring that all projects are executed with the highest level of professionalism.

Nigel Bowker

My journey in the industry commenced at a young age, influenced by my fathers endeavours in offshore maintenance. In the early 90s, he founded Global Corrosion Engineering (GCE), operating in South East Asia, specifically in Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam. GCE held a prestigious license under the renowned industrial coating manufacturer Corrocoat, a company synonymous with quality and innovation. It was here that I first discovered my passion for this field, sparking an enduring commitment that would shape my professional trajectory.

Following my apprenticeship at Corrocoat UK, I eagerly joined my family’s business. Commencing my career as a Blaster Painter, I steadily ascended the professional ladder, assuming roles such as Inspector, Supervisor, and ultimately, Project Manager. This progression allowed me to oversee substantial offshore projects on Oil Rigs and Shipyards, contributing to my diverse skill set and comprehensive industry knowledge. My tenure in the Blasting & Painting industry spans over 25 years, starting in 1996. Throughout this time, Ive had the privilege of working on numerous projects globally, gaining valuable insights and experience that have shaped
my professional journey.

In collaboration with my business partner, Lewis, who shares my passion for excellence in this field we opened Yacht Blast Phuket. Our objective is to bring a culmination of decades of knowledge and hands-on experience to the world of yacht maintenance and preservation. With a commitment to the highest standards and a focus on innovation, we aspire to redefine the expectations of yacht owners in the region.
