Ultra High Pressure Water Blasting
UHP Water Jetting / Blasting is the modern, environmentally friendly way of preparing a surface for coatings application.
Even the most modern or expensive coatings will fail if the surface is not properly prepared, UHP Water blasting provides the cost effective solution for surface preparation in every industry sector.
Operating at 35-40,000psi (2,500 - 2,800 bar), our state-of-the-art NLB UHP Blasting units enable us to remove any coating, taking the substrate back to its original profile, and unlike other “traditional” surface preparation methods, ensuring the surface is completely contaminant free.
Another major advantage that UHP blasting holds over abrasive blasting is the effect on the environment, Abrasive blasting creates several environmental and health and safety issues, it creates a cloud of dust, covering everything in the vicinity with a fine abrasive layer of dust, you end up with a pile of grit on floor where you are working, with possibilities of contaminating the local area and waterways, as important are personal health and safety issues of breathing in abrasive dust, whilst the operator and there team have breathing apparatus, not everyone on or near the site will.
UHP Blasting has none of the issues attached to it, the diesel engines powering the latest pumps are Euro 3 compliant for emissions, the pumps operate between 12-38 Litres per minute, which is comparable to the water usage from your standard household hose pipe, you have none of the contamination from dust, and none of the cleanup and disposal costs for the used abrasive.
