UHP Projects, Inc provides an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to abrasive blasting. We use 40,000 psi waterjetting combined with automated technology and a powerful vacuum system to perform coatings removal, liner extraction's, and concrete renovations. In addition, UHP Projects, Inc also specializes in lead paint abatement projects and re-coating services.

Tank Farms - The JetTrac TM System is designed to remove thin and thick film coatings from tank shells, roofs, and floors and leave the surface clean and dry ready for re-coating. As 40,000 psi water is used to remove the coatings, a powerful vacuum unit transfers the coatings and water to a collection point where they are separated. The coating is then containerized and effluent water is tested for disposal.

Our experience and proven leadership in the ultra high pressure waterjetting industry allows us to bring the following advantages to your project:

  • Over 28,000,000 ft2 of surface area cleaned and re-coated worldwide using UHP waterjetting
  • Disposal cost are reduced by an average of 85%
  • Turnkey services including surface preparation, re-coating, water filtration and containment
  • Faster project turnaround times due to increased removal rates and other maintenance tasks being performed simultaneously
  • Trained Project Managers on every project providing maintenance, procedural, and planning expertise
  • Lead and TBT Abatement qualified personnel
  • Lead Paint Abatement - UHP waterjetting captures lead particles in water droplets virtually eliminating airborne contamination. The water and paint chips are easily captured using vacuum assisted equipment or ground contain- ment. The water is then filtered to a non-hazardous level for disposal. Since you only dispose of the actual coating being removed and the added advantage of no spent abrasives to clean-up or dispose of, your overall disposal costs are greatly reduced.
