High-pressure water jetting

Precision jets deliver powerful cleaning and selective removal with predictable, inspectable results.

pressure water jetting

What it is: We define pressure water jetting as the controlled use of water at elevated pressure and calibrated flow to clean, prepare, or remove material from a surface.

The process scales from low to mid pressure for general cleaning to higher settings for selective cutting and coating removal. By selecting the right nozzle, jet angle and standoff distance, we direct energy precisely and protect adjacent areas.

“Many operations rely on only water, which reduces chemical exposure and simplifies site controls.”

  • Specialist applications include marine growth removal, hydrodemolition, tank and vessel cleaning, and cutting.
  • Compared to abrasive methods, blasting with water reduces dust and grit and readies surface for coatings.
  • Operator safety has improved with remote tooling, PPE and standardized training.
  • We can integrate wastewater capture and recycling to meet Vancouver site expectations.

Applications and capabilities: from 10,000 to 40,000 psi for tough jobs

We match equipment and method to each challenge so you get reliable removal and clean, ready surfaces.

Our fleet operates from 10,000 to 40,000 psi with 1–100 GPM flow. This range lets us handle light profiling up to heavy material cutting, including coatings, scale, grout and concrete.

Surface preparation and coating removal to SSPC/NACE standards

We deliver pressure water jetting to industry specs for steel and concrete. That yields a profiled surface ready for new coatings or linings without chemical pretreatment.

Hydrodemolition for concrete removal without micro‑fractures

Our hydrodemolition method removes damaged concrete while preserving rebar and preventing micro‑fractures. The result improves bond strength and long‑term durability.

Non‑entry tank and vessel cleaning

2‑D and 3‑D rotating heads clean inside tanks and vessels from 2,000 to 22,000 psi. This 360‑degree coverage reduces confined‑space entry and speeds completion.

  • Marine and tanker services: decks, ballast tanks, hulls and holds—removing salt, residues and growth to extend coating life.
  • Tube and pipe cleaning: lances and controlled flow target deposits and scale, restoring capacity without dry abrasives.
  • Accessories: nozzles, rotating jets and tracked systems improve consistency and safety on complex sites.

“We tune pressure and flow to protect substrates while achieving predictable removal and quality outcomes.”

Built for Vancouver: We plan for waterfront access, tight parkades and weather windows. Call 604-670-3737 to discuss which application fits your project.

Advanced equipment, systems, and accessories for quality results

We pair proven machines and thoughtful accessories so you get consistent, safe outcomes on every job.

Advanced pump and control systems let us tune pressure, flow and nozzle geometry for predictable results. We deploy dependable UHP pump units and blasting equipment configured to the pressures, flows and duty cycles your project needs.

UHP pump units and operator-focused accessories

Operator-focused accessories — rotating heads, lances and ergonomic controls — improve precision, reduce fatigue and boost production on tight surfaces.

  • For tank and vessel cleaning we use 2‑D and 3‑D heads that give even coverage and fast deposit removal with fewer access points.
  • Hydrodemolition can run on automated robotics with adjustable jet angle, travel speed and pass width for safer, consistent concrete removal.
  • We stock parts and products on the truck to avoid delays and maintain gear for Vancouver’s variable conditions.

“We match equipment size and technology to site constraints — compact units for parkades, higher horsepower for marine and industrial scopes.”

We also manage wastewater routing, filtration or recycling to meet urban environmental expectations. Clear safety features — deadman controls, guards and rated PPE — protect the operator while keeping productivity high.

Safety, sustainability, and training you can trust

Protecting people and the planet is central to how we run every job. We combine remote controls, purpose‑rated PPE and documented procedures so crews can finish work efficiently and safely. Our methods reduce operator exposure while keeping productivity high.

Remote operation and automation to protect operators and boost productivity

We use remote and automated equipment that keeps the operator away from the immediate jet and cutting zone. This lowers risk on concrete and hydrodemolition scopes and speeds repetitive tasks.

PPE, best practices, and ongoing training aligned with industry standards

Our crews wear purpose-rated PPE and run pre-shift briefings. Training covers controls, emergency response and site hazards so each operator can safely manage pressure and flow parameters.

Eco‑forward methods: only water, wastewater control, and recycling options

Where feasible we use only water for cleaning and removal, avoiding extra chemicals. We plan containment, filtration and recycling of wastewater to meet municipal rules and limit discharge.

“We document pressure, flow and tooling for traceability and to confirm coatings readiness after blasting.”

  • Non-entry tank systems reduce confined‑space risks for tank and vessel work.
  • Remote hydrodemolition tools control debris and protect rebar and nearby surfaces.
  • We record process parameters for quality control on industrial and commercial services.
