As a specialist water jetting company, Aquamax Hydroblasting is a leader in water blasting services. We operate ultra-high-pressure water blasters (up to 45,000 psi) to perform a range of applications such as hydrodemolition and scabbling of concrete, stripping off paint from buildings, rust from steel structures and calcium and sulphur deposits from turbines. Ultra high pressure water blasters are invaluable un construction where concrete can be removed without damage to steel or surrounding structures.
Aquamax is known for our unique aircraft paint stripping process, an attractive alternative to using chemical strippers and abrasive methods. We have developed this process in conjunction with industry ensuring an appropriate level of documentation and process checks. Aquamax has stripped paint from over 200 aircrafts and ranging from top dressers to helicopters. Water jetting is a non-abrasive, chemical free approach that delivers an excellent finish ready for painting. We use our low flow-rate water jetting for aircraft surface preparation. It's extremely effective without any compromise to the surface or structural integrity of the aircraft. Unlike chemical cleaning, which can seep under rivets and leave a residue that may affect coatings in the future, the water dries and evaporates.
Ultra-high-pressure water blasting is an ideal process for removing paint and corrosion in the marine industry. We have performed a wide range of projects on various vessels both in dry dock and alongside. Our fully encapsulated deck blasters contain blasting debris which is sucked away leaving a clean surface. A popular process is ‘wash and spot’. This delivers a hard wash of the surface followed by spot blasting of corroded areas. Due to the low flow rate of some of our equipment, we can operate while the vessel is at sea or alongside without the need for dry-docking.
