Concrete Industry
Water blasting is commonly used in the cement industry for a multitude of applications such as hydro-demolition, surface prep, and equipment cleaning. One positive of using water blasting over a jackhammer is the removal of deteriorated or damaged concrete surfaces without fracturing non-damaged concrete. The process involves using high-pressure water jets to remove the damaged concrete, leaving a clean and smooth surface for repair or replacement.

Construction
One key role of waterblasting in construction is surface preparation. Before applying paints, coatings, or adhesives, surfaces need to be clean, free of contaminants, and properly prepared to ensure optimal adhesion. Waterblasting excels in removing dirt, grease, rust, old paint, and other surface imperfections, providing a clean and smooth surface for subsequent construction processes. Waterblasting is also essential for concrete and pavement maintenance. Over time, these surfaces can deteriorate due to factors like weather, heavy usage, or chemical exposure. Waterblasting can efficiently remove damaged or deteriorated layers, such as old concrete, asphalt, or sealants, preparing the surface for repair or resurfacing.
