High Pressure WaterJet Cleaning

The Use of High Pressure Water Blasting in the Construction Industry:

High pressure water blasting, otherwise known as hydro jetting or high pressure cleaning, is the process of spraying pressurized water onto a surface made of steel to remove corrosion or onto concrete to remove surface painting and other contaminants. We at Techno Builders Group have the right machinery to remove a large selection of materials, film and abrasive (including paint from metal surfaces, walls and asphalt; rubber from airport runways, sealants and membrane from concrete, and even gum, graffiti and pollution from payments) are eradicated by the force that the water generates.Aside from being a highly effective cleaning method within a range of industries, the use of high pressure hydroblasting equipment is also environmentally friendly thus reducing carbon footprint.

Water blasting and the Construction Industry in Lebanon & the Middle East: 

Industrial strength cleaning applications are vital within the construction industry, especially in the eradication of dirt and other undesirable materials from structures and surfaces. We at Techno Builders Group use an ultra-High Pressure Water jetting as a preferred method on projects where large amounts of abrasives must be removed. Several studies have even shown that surfaces that have been water blasted with high pressure water blasters are cleaner than those blasted using traditional solid abrasive or chemical methods.

High pressure water blasting not only removes old coatings on concrete and rust on steel or metallic surfaces, it also eliminates deeply embedded crystallized salt, resulting in a remarkable reduction of chloride levels on surfaces leading to higher adhesion of coating and longer coating life. Utilizing high pressure washing technology also allows construction work to be undertaken in areas where other conventional blasting methods would be impossible to use, e.g. terminals, refineries and urban areas, making the use of this cleaning method crucial in the construction industry due to its ability to adapt to the requirements of almost any urban or suburban environment.

Safe Method of Cleaning:

Unlike other cleaning methods used in the construction industry, for example sandblasting; high pressure water jetting does not create any levels of dust during the cleaning process meaning dangerous contaminants do not become airborne to affect surrounding areas. For Construction workers operating cleaning equipment, this is a vital safety consideration because the residual risk of exposure to high concentrations of contaminants like silica sand, or prolonged inhalation of respirable dust containing crystalline silica which leads to silicosis, a sometimes fatal lung disease, is drastically reduced when using high pressure water blasting machinery. This in turn also has a positive impact on the environment due to the reduction of toxic substances or pollutants and chemicals being carried by the air that would otherwise put more people at risk of allergens.
