BridgeMaintenance Repair
Removal of concrete in order to reinforce underlying steel rebar before re-pouring new concrete. Common materials include concrete, asphalt, paint and coatings, among others.
Benefits of Water
Conventional jackhammer tools damage and/or deform the rebar and surrounding structures. Water jetting, however, does not impact rebar integrity, but it does clean and remove rust from the rebar, which increases adhesion to the new concrete.
Recommended Equipment
Pump Systems:
20K psi @ 38 GPM for removing large concrete deposits
40K psi @ 8 GPM for removal of paint/coatings and rebar cleaning
Tool Systems:
Dump Guns
Rotary Guns
Triangle Shapejets
Accessories:
Flow Splitters
Diverter Valves
Concrete Scarifying & Restoration
Roughening or removal of the top layer of concrete (1/8") so that a new surface can be poured. Common materials include concrete, paint, and coatings, among others.
Benefits of Water
Water jetting provides faster production, versus conventional grinding machines, and is dust-free. Water jetting also provides a consistent surface finish that results in a stronger bond between the old surface and the new concrete.
Recommended Equipment
Pump Systems:
20K psi @ 17 GPM for larger surfaces
40K psi @ 8 GPM for precise, detailed work
Tool Systems:
Miniscrubber
Rotary Guns
Dynamo (manual, electric driven) and Vacuum
Accessories:
Diverter Valves
Hazardous Material Removal
Removal of coatings that contain hazardous materials, such as lead and asbestos. Common materials include lead paint (coatings) and asbestos, among others.
Benefits of Water
Conventional blasting creates hazardous dust particles that can be inhaled by operators. Water jetting instead wets the material, causing it to fall to the ground where it can be easily and quickly collected without becoming an airborne hazard.
Recommended Equipment
Pump Systems:
10K psi @ 33 GPM for soft material
20K psi @ 17 GPM
40K psi @ 8 GPM for hard material
Tool Systems:
Miniscrubber
Rotary Guns
Dynamo (manual, electric driven) and Vacuum
Dump Guns
Accessories:
Flow Splitters
Diverter Valves
Hydro Excavation
Digging and removal of ground material in landscaping, construction, and other excavation applications. Common materials include earth, rock, and concrete, among others.
Benefits of Water
Water jetting will not damage pipes and other utility lines, but will minimize damage to
the surrounding environment because it’s performed using manual tools that operators
can control with a level of precision that they cannot achieve using conventional excavation equipment (heavy machinery).
Recommended Equipment
Pump Systems:
5k @ 5-15 gpm for smaller projects or detailed work
10k @ 30-65 gpm for larger projects
Tool Systems:
Miniscrubber
Rotary Guns
Dynamo (manual, electric driven) and Vacuum

Roadway Stripe Removal
Removal of epoxy stripes and surface cleaning on roads and runways. Common materials include paint (coatings), tar and rubber buildup, among others.
Benefits of Water
Water jetting does virtually no damage to the underlying road or runways, whereas conventional grinders can remove up to ¼” of underlying road work. Water jetting is also dust-free and provides options for containment and collection of blast water and debris.
