UHP Blasting
Advanced Surface Preparation for Superior Results
Ultra-High Pressure (UHP) blasting is a highly effective surface preparation technique that uses water at extremely high pressure to remove contaminants, coatings, rust, and debris from a variety of surfaces. Unlike traditional abrasive blasting methods, UHP blasting is more environmentally friendly, producing less dust and waste while achieving a cleaner, smoother surface.
The benefits of UHP blasting include faster cleaning times, reduced abrasive usage, and minimal damage to the underlying material. Additionally, it’s a safer alternative for delicate surfaces, ensuring long-lasting protection and a perfect bond for subsequent coatings.
To enhance safety and precision, we employ state-of-the-art automated robots in our UHP blasting process. This innovation minimizes human exposure to hazardous environments and ensures consistent, high-quality results every time.
Abrasive Blasting
Efficient Surface Cleaning and Preparation
Abrasive blasting is a powerful surface cleaning technique that uses compressed air or water to propel abrasive materials (such as sand, steel grit, or glass beads) against a surface to remove contaminants, coatings, rust, and corrosion. This method is highly effective for preparing surfaces for painting, coating, or further treatment.
The key benefits of abrasive blasting include its ability to clean large areas quickly, achieve a uniform surface profile, and enhance adhesion for coatings. It’s also versatile, working on a wide range of materials including metal, concrete, and brick. Compared to manual cleaning methods, abrasive blasting offers faster, more consistent results, improving both the quality and longevity of the finished surface.
Robotic Surface Preperation
Greater Coverage. Greater Consistency. Greater Safety.
We utilise advanced custom-built robotic UHP blasting equipment designed to deliver safer, faster, and more consistent surface preparation across large industrial and marine projects. Our robotic systems improve blasting efficiency while reducing operator exposure to ultra high-pressure water jets in demanding working environments.
Our specialist robotic blasting equipment is engineered to maximise surface coverage while delivering a highly uniform and consistent blast profile. The systems are ideal for large surface areas where efficiency, precision, and repeatability are critical.
By allowing operators to work at a safer distance from ultra high-pressure water jets, our robotic systems significantly reduce direct exposure to hazardous blasting environments while improving overall site safety and operational control.
The robotic units maintain consistent blasting distance and pressure across surfaces, improving coating preparation standards and reducing inconsistencies commonly associated with manual blasting methods. This allows for increased productivity and more efficient project completion.
Our robotic blasting systems are fully mobile and can be deployed worldwide across marine, offshore, and industrial projects. The equipment integrates directly with our existing UHP pump systems, allowing rapid mobilisation and seamless operation on-site.
Built for heavy-duty applications, our robotic systems are suitable for shipyards, offshore structures, storage tanks, steelwork, marine vessels, and large industrial assets requiring high-performance surface preparation.
Our robotic UHP blasting solutions provide safer operation, greater blasting consistency, increased production rates, reduced operator fatigue, and improved project efficiency while maintaining the high surface preparation standards required across the marine and industrial sectors.
Coating Application
Durable Protection for Every Surface
Manual Surface Preparation
Precision and Flexibility for Specialized Projects
Manual surface preparation involves hand-operated tools to remove contaminants, rust, old coatings, and debris from surfaces. This method is ideal for smaller or intricate areas where mechanical or automated processes may not be feasible. Common tools used include needle guns, which effectively break up tough, corroded materials, ensuring a clean, smooth surface.
The benefits of manual surface preparation include precision in hard-to-reach areas, greater control over the process, and the ability to handle delicate or detailed work. While more time-intensive, it ensures high-quality results, especially for custom or complex surfaces requiring detailed attention.
Industrial Cleaning
Specialist Cleaning for Demanding Environments
We provide specialist industrial cleaning services for the marine, offshore, and wider industrial sectors, focusing on tanks, bilges, engine rooms, and heavy-duty operational areas to ensure cleanliness, efficiency, and safety across all environments.
Tank and Bilge Cleaning: We remove sludge, oil, residue, scale, and contaminants from cargo tanks, storage tanks, bilges, and confined spaces, preparing critical areas for inspections, maintenance, repairs, or coating applications.
Industrial and Engine Room Cleaning: Our experienced teams clean engine rooms, machinery spaces, plant equipment, and industrial areas, removing grease, soot, hydrocarbons, and operational build-up to help maintain equipment performance, safety, and operational efficiency.
High-Pressure Jet Washing: Using commercial high-pressure jet washing equipment up to 125 bar, we provide effective cleaning for decks, walkways, tanks, pipework, machinery, and industrial surfaces. This method efficiently removes dirt, salt deposits, grime, marine growth, and general industrial contamination while maintaining surface integrity.
