Marine Antifouling & Surface Preparation
This hydraulically driven machine is equipped with a set of rotating jets. The jets “hydroblast” the surface with Ultra high pressure water which removes any coating or covering.
In most cases, Hydro blasting of steel offers a cheaper, safer and more cost-effective alternative to dry abrasive blast cleaning or mechanical surface preparation methods. The machines are self-supporting and can be remotely operated from a “cherry picker” therefore; do not require scaffolding.
This technique is abrasive free and thus avoids waste disposal costs associated with Abrasive Blast Cleaning
UHP Concrete Scrabbling & Surface Preparation
UHP Water Jetting is typically used on large areas of concrete to scrabble or prepare the surface. Wherever possible, we use blast head which incorporates powerful vacuum recovery of both waste water and debris. It can be used on structures such as; bridge decks and tunnels providing a clean dust free finish and without any percussive vibration associated with mechanical preparation techniques.
The concrete surface preparation standards achieve with water jetting are perfect for laying new concrete, or coating (such as waterproofing) as all chemical traces and debris are removed as part of the hydro-blasting process.
With all the examples above, the UHP water jets are proven to be excellent at removing paint, rust, bitumen, epoxies and other coatings from almost any surface. The process does not cause damage to the underlying material or generate any heat or dust. Hydro blasting also creates a perfectly clean (free from chemicals and non-visual contamination) surface on which new coatings can be applied.
