UHP blasting holds over abrasive blasting is the effect on the environment, Abrasive blasting creates several environmental and health and safety issues, it creates a cloud of dust, covering everything in the vicinity with a fine abrasive layer of dust, you end up with a pile of grit on floor where you are working, with possibilities of contaminating the local area and waterways, as important are personal health and safety issues of breathing in abrasive dust, whilst the operator and there team have breathing apparatus, not everyone on or near the site will.
UHP Blasting has none of the issues attached to it, the diesel engines powering the latest pumps are Euro 3 compliant for emissions, the pumps operate between 12-38 Litres per minute, which is comparable to the water usage from your standard household hose pipe, you have none of the contamination from dust, and none of the cleanup and disposal costs for the used abrasive.

Abrasive Blasting

Abrasive (Grit Blasting) involves the use of compressed air and an abrasive medium and can be used for surface preparation, to remove previously applied coatings, corrosion deposits, etc, on all types of surfaces including steel, cast and wrought iron, concrete, timber, stone and plastic.
Blasting abrasive particles at a surface is the fastest and most effective way of de-scaling, de-burring and cleaning both awkward interior and external surfaces
The work varies from establishing a good sound-working surface to promote the adhesion of a specific type of paint or coating. Or simply maintain the efficiency and life expectancy of a surface.

We have 6 Abrasive blasting “setups” in our fleet of equipment, run from one of our 450 cfm road towable compressors, we can also offer slurry blasting services with one of our UHP Water Jetting units and an NLB profiler nozzle, combining the power of UHP Water and Abrasive blasting.
