Construction Industry
Water jetting technologies are employed successfully in many areas of construction and civil engineering. Ultra-high-pressure water jetting applications are especially used in construction repairs, renovation and in hydrodemolition.
Cleaning, surface preparation and restoration with ultra-high-pressure water
Few processes have changed the construction world so fundamentally in the last thirty years as high-pressure water jet technology. Originally seen as an exotic form of engineering with a limited application spectrum, high-pressure water jets nowadays are acknowledged as state-of-the-art in constructional engineering.
High-pressure water jets are commercially superior to any other method through selective material removal and the minimising or elimination of residual materials subject to disposal regulations. This is the decisive reason why a growing number of construction companies and building trades rely on WOMA high-pressure pumps and ultra-high-pressure water jetting units.
High-pressure water applications in the construction industry
Surface preparation
High-pressure water jetting is recommended, and even specified in some cases, in almost all relevant construction regulations and guidelines as a method for preparation of surfaces. Environmental compatibility and economic efficiency also speak in its favour.
Concrete refurbishment
The primary aim of any concrete renovation is to remove the damaged positions without damaging the surrounding material or steel reinforcement. Unlike a pneumatic hammer, the water jet acts very locally and targeted on the position to be treated.
Cleaning of form work
A clean, professional shuttering is of vital importance for the quality of concrete surfaces. To ensure that no undesirable pores, shrink holes and cavities occur, the shuttering must be cleaned regularly.
