High Pressure Water Blasting & Hydro Demolition Services
Benefits of Ultra-High-Pressure (UHP) Water Blasting for Surface Preparation?
- Precision Cleaning: Removes only unwanted materials like rust and dirt without harming the underlying surface, ensuring precise cleaning for materials like concrete, steel, and other materials.
- Environmentally Friendly: Uses water only, making it a safer, cleaner, and more eco-friendly alternative than other abrasive methods.
- Effective Surface Profiling: Leaves a clean, textured surface ideal for strong adhesion of paints, coatings, and sealants.
- Non-Abrasive: Cleans without damaging or weakening surfaces, maintaining the integrity of concrete, steel, and other delicate structures.
UHP Uses
Ultra-high-pressure (UHP) water blasting is utilised for various industrial applications, including the preparation of concrete surfaces by removing old coatings, dirt, and contaminants to enhance adhesion for sealing or recoating. It’s also ideal for steel surface preparation, stripping away rust and coatings to leave a clean, profiled finish. Additionally, UHP water blasting effectively cleans industrial equipment, removing scale, residue, and buildup to enhance performance and extend equipment life.
UHP For Surface Preparation
- Equipment and Tank Cleaning: We safely remove debris, scale, and buildup from tanks, pipes, heat exchangers, and other industrial equipment, helping to minimise downtime and maintain compliance with hygiene and safety standards.
- Industrial Coating and Paint Removal: Our UHP water jets strip away old coatings, paints, and chemical residues from industrial surfaces, ensuring no damage to the underlying structure and providing a clean surface for new applications.
- Concrete Cleaning, Hydrodemolition: Precisely removes deteriorated concrete while protecting steel reinforcement, and deep-cleans concrete surfaces to eliminate stains, oil, and grime.
- Blockage and Scale Removal: Our UHP technology quickly and efficiently clears scale, debris, and blockages from industrial pipes and systems, ensuring smooth operation and reducing the risk of costly downtime.
What is Hydro Demolition?
BENEFITS OF HYDRO DEMOLITION (Also for Concrete Cancer Removal)
HD offers many of the same benefits as UHP Waterblasting, particularly when it comes to treating concrete cancer. We’ll elaborate more below:
- Precision and Control: Only deteriorated concrete is removed, with no damage to the surrounding structure. The process offers excellent control, even around steel reinforcement and on complex or uneven surfaces.
- Efficiency: HD is significantly faster than traditional mechanical methods, thereby minimising downtime, reducing project timelines, and lowering labour costs. Environmentally Friendly: HD only uses water, yes, that means no dust or nasty chemicals, making it a sustainable alternative for surface preparation.
- Safety: HD uses lower vibrations than conventional techniques, protecting structural integrity and creating a safer environment for workers by reducing dust and debris exposure.
- Versatility: HD is suitable for a wide range of structures, including bridges, dams, parking garages, and industrial facilities. Handheld hydro demolition tools also provide flexibility for smaller-scale or detailed applications.
APPLICATIONS OF HYDRO DEMOLITION
HD is a precise, efficient, and environmentally friendly method for concrete removal and surface preparation. It’s widely used in bridge rehabilitation, concrete repairs, and coating removal, safely stripping away damaged material while preserving structural integrity. This technique ensures clean, profiled surfaces for better adhesion and longer-lasting repairs, making it a smart, modern alternative to traditional concrete removal methods.
Robotic Hydro Demolition
Benefits of Robotic Hydro Demolition
Robotic HD offers a set of different benefits compared to that of handheld HD. Explore below.
- Increased Efficiency: Robotic systems operate continuously, boosting productivity and easily handling hard-to-access areas.
- Enhanced Precision: Allows for highly controlled, selective concrete removal without damaging underlying structures or rebar.
- Improved Safety: Reduces the need for workers in hazardous or confined environments, minimising health and safety risks.
- Reduced Downtime: Continuous automated operation shortens project timelines and minimises disruption to ongoing work.
- Environmentally Friendly: Produces minimal dust, noise, and vibration, and eliminates the need for harmful chemicals.
- Cost Savings: Faster project completion, reduced labour requirements, and increased precision help lower overall project costs.
