Why choose Cleanaway’s
high-pressure water blasting services
Cleanaway’s high-pressure water blasting services help keep your operations running safely, efficiently and without costly downtime. As the market leader in industrial cleaning and maintenance, we support the mining, oil and gas, and heavy industrial sectors with tailored solutions backed by deep expertise, highly trained operators and a national fleet of state-of-the-art equipment. Whether it’s routine maintenance, asset cleaning or complex demolition work, we deliver the right support to get the job done.
A high-pressure water blaster, also known as a pressure washer or hydro blaster, uses high-pressure water jets to clean surfaces and equipment, remove residue (such as rust, paint or chemicals) and cut through materials like concrete and steel.
Using a high-velocity water stream, these systems strip away dirt, debris, and contaminants with impressive force. At Ultra High Pressure (UHP) levels—between 20,000 and 40,000 psi - water blasting can even break through solid materials, making it ideal for both precision cleaning and heavy-duty demolition. These versatile machines can be used for a wide range of cleaning, maintenance and demolition tasks, from residential cleaning to heavy-duty industrial applications.
Industrial and manufacturing
Supporting factories, processing plants, and heavy industry with equipment cleaning, infrastructure maintenance, and removal of build-up that can impact efficiency and safety.
Commercial and public infrastructure
Serving councils, utilities, construction, and commercial facilities by maintaining public spaces, cleaning assets, and restoring surfaces to a safe, presentable condition.
Process
Our high-pressure water blasting and jetting services
Our surface preparation service removes dirt, adhesives, paint, scale and unwanted residue from concrete surfaces, tanks, bridges, sewerage and plant facilities. High-pressure water can be used to clean tubes, doors, columns and towers.
We can also apply protective coatings to surfaces, including those specifically designed to suit marine conditions.
We offer chemical cleaning of all types of pipework and equipment, including pre-commissioning, decommissioning and service chemical cleaning of boilers, process lines and pipework, fuel tanks and vessels.
Our team of highly skilled and trained operators will work with you during petrochemical and refinery plant shutdowns to perform maintenance of heat exchanger tube bundles. The bundle extractor is a self-contained unit that is easily lifted into position by crane and operated by remote control. Our professional operating team is backed by a purpose-built fleet that prioritises safety and regulatory compliance.
Cold cutting is a technique that uses UHP water jetting coupled with an abrasive to cut through steel and other hard materials. Because it doesn’t generate heat or sparks, it’s ideally suited to refineries, chemical plants and sewer networks where volatile gases are present and flame cutting is prohibited.
UHP water jetting cuts through materials of varying thickness and is a safe and cost-effective alternative to diamond saw cutting, grinder and blow torch cutting.
Our specialised concrete remediation and demolition services harness ultra-high-pressure (UHP) water jetting to deliver precise, dust-free concrete removal, scabbling or demolition with minimal environmental impact.
Using advanced Aqua Cutter robotic systems and hand-operated lances, we efficiently access tight, overhead, and hard-to-reach areas - up to seven metres high and can remove concrete with pinpoint accuracy, preserving embedded rebar and structural integrity. Ideal for bridge decks, tunnels, and structural upgrades, our cutting-edge solutions offer safe, vibration-free results tailored to complex civil works.
With state-of-the-art equipment, extensive industry knowledge and specialised technologies, we can provide a variety of industrial cleaning solutions to remove rust, scale and other contaminants from equipment and machinery.
