The Problem

Billions in preventable costs lost every year across U.S. heavy equipment fleets.

Surface degradation accumulates invisibly — in pins, bushings, fasteners, and frame joints — until something breaks and a machine and crew sit idle. By then, the cost is already compounding.

The Solution

SurfaceGuard treats machines before failure — and builds a documented condition record on every visit.

We come to your site. No disassembly, no equipment pull, no production interruption. Every visit generates actionable data that compounds in value over time.

Protective Asset Services
Field-Based Remediation
  • Mobile deployment — we come to your site, no facility disruption
  • Precision pulse-laser remediation of corrosion and contamination
  • Pins, bushings, fasteners, hydraulic fittings, and frame joints
  • No disassembly. No equipment pull. No production interruption
  • Per-event response or structured programmatic service intervals
  • Scalable across a single machine or an entire fleet
Predictive Fleet Analytics
Interface Condition Intelligence
  • Interface Condition Index (ICI) scored at every service point
  • Before & after condition scores documented per visit
  • Forward degradation risk summary — see what's coming
  • Fleet Health Score across all assets in your system
  • Recommended service intervals based on actual wear data
  • Permanent condition record: resale, financing & insurance ready
ICI

The Interface Condition Index is SurfaceGuard's proprietary scoring system — a standardized, documented measure of surface condition at every critical interface on your equipment. Over time, your ICI record becomes a compounding asset: a defensible data trail that predicts failure, supports resale value, and gives fleet managers visibility they've never had before.

Who We Serve

Any operator running heavy equipment in demanding environments.

If your machines work hard and downtime costs you real money, SurfaceGuard was built for your operation.

Excavation Contractors

Excavators and support equipment in aggregate, salt, and moisture. Corroded interfaces add hours to every repair. Catch it before the clock starts.

Waste Fleet Operators

High-cycle vehicles in corrosive, contaminated environments. One truck down disrupts an entire route. Proactive treatment protects your highest-utilization assets.

Utility & Trenching Firms

Continuous-duty machines in wet, abrasive conditions. Interface degradation accumulates fast and shows up in repair time and shortened replacement cycles.

Asphalt & Paving

High-heat, high-abrasion environments accelerate surface degradation. Programmatic treatment extends component life and keeps equipment on the job.

Concrete Contractors

Mixers, pumps, and placement equipment in one of construction's most caustic environments. Interface condition deteriorates faster than most operators track.

Aggregate Operations

Crushers, conveyors, and heavy haul equipment in dust, moisture, and impact. The ICI record proves asset condition at resale and drives better replacement decisions.

A Note From the Founder

I've spent 20 years in finance fundamentally understanding one thing: what drives value in a business and what destroys it quietly over time. The answer in this case, more often than people expect, is reactive maintenance and invisible asset degradation.

SurfaceGuard came out of a simple observation: the gap between what operators spend reacting to failures and what they would spend preventing and predicting them is enormous — and almost nobody in the field is systematically closing it. The opportunity exists. The problem is well-documented. What's been missing is a service built specifically around the operator's world: mobile, non-disruptive, and paired with data that actually travels with the asset, down to the interface level.

We're working directly with operators to stress-test the model against real equipment and real conditions. If you run heavy equipment and the problem described here sounds familiar, I'd like to talk.
