A higher production yield can be obtained utilizing high pressure water blasting over other methods of surface preparation. This method simultaneously removes and recovers the unwanted material while at the same time preparing the surface. Water blasting can be up to 10 times faster than traditional methods.
The key factor in insuring good coating adhesion is proper preparation of the surface. Surfaces prepared with water blasting equipment meet or exceed all of the accepted
Industry standards for surface preparation. High pressure water blasting is successfully used for both metal and concrete surface preparation.
It is possible to remove hazardous and contaminated materials such as asbestos or lead paint with water blasting equipment. Often additional containment is not required when using water blasting. Adherence to all Code of Federal Regulations requirements is easily achieved when utilizing our methods.
There are no concerns with releasing grit into the air with water blasting. This means that nearby equipment is not damaged by dust. The result is that there is no cost for removing or covering the equipment. A significant reduction in airborne pollutants makes the environment in which it is used safe for nearby personnel. High pressure water blasting equipment also operates at lower sound levels than other types of equipment so that noise pollution is not a concern.
Vertical surface preparation is cost effective with water blasting equipment. The same high level of surface preparation expected in horizontal applications is routinely achieved in vertical applications.
