Hydro Demolition
Hydro demolition: precise concrete removal using high-pressure water jets. This innovative technique preserves underlying structures while offering superior control and efficiency. It's cleaner, quieter, and more environmentally friendly than traditional demolition methods, reducing dust and vibration on job sites.
Hydro Scabbling
Hydro scabbling uses high-pressure water jets for precise concrete surface preparation. It removes deteriorated layers efficiently, reducing dust and preventing structural damage.
Onsite Water Treatment
Onsite water treatment and recycling exemplifies our sustainable approach. We process and reuse water at worksites, minimising environmental impact and conserving resources. This practice demonstrates our commitment to responsible construction.
Coating Removal
Ultra-high pressure (UHP) coating removal ensures efficient surface preparation. It strips coatings using precise water jets without damaging substrates. This eco-friendly method reduces waste and improves outcomes compared to traditional abrasive blasting.
Industrial Services
Water jetting excels in tank and equipment cleaning for industrial maintenance. This powerful technique removes stubborn deposits and contaminants from various surfaces. It ensures thorough cleaning while minimising chemical use and downtime, offering an efficient and eco-friendly solution.
Cold Cutting
Cold cutting offers a safer, more precise alternative to traditional hot cutting methods. By eliminating heat and sparks, it significantly reduces fire hazards in sensitive environments like refineries, chemical plants, and sewer systems. This technique ensures clean, accurate cuts while maintaining structural integrity, making it ideal for complex industrial and underground applications where safety and precision are paramount.
FAQs
Aqua Prep delivers a full suite of services nationwide. This includes hydro demolition (precise, vibration-free concrete removal), high‑pressure water jetting (up to 40,000 psi for cleaning and surface prep), hydro scabbling, cold cutting, industrial coating removal, industrial tank/equipment cleaning, and onsite wastewater treatment & recycling.
Hydro demolition and water jetting offer multiple advantages over traditional methods:
Fast and efficient material removal
Minimal noise, dust, and structural damage
Environmentally friendly—dust suppression and robotic precision
Safe in hazardous or flammable environments
Hydro demolition is ideal for selective concrete breakouts, preserving rebar and surrounding structures.
Aqua Prep’s custom onsite water treatment and recycling system includes hook-lift tanks, solids separation bins, pH neutralisation, and clarification. This closed-loop system can treat up to 100,000 L/day, achieving under 15 NTU clarity and <3 kg/100,000 L solids—allowing safe reuse, sewer discharge, or stormwater disposal.
Yes. Aqua Prep utilises state-of-the-art robotic systems and remote-controlled robots (4,000–40,000 psi) to enhance safety, efficiency, and reach. These systems help remove operators from high-risk zones, reduce fatigue, and enable precision work, like hydro demolition or robotic coating removal on tanks and bridges.
Absolutely. Services such as cold cutting (spark-free) and ultrahigh-pressure water blasting are designed for use in flammable or confined areas. They’re compliant with safety standards and are making them suitable for refineries, stormwater systems, and other industrial facilities.
Aqua Prep supports a diverse set of industries across Australia, including construction, infrastructure, mining, marine infrastructure, water and wastewater, energy, and industrial maintenance. Their services are used on bridges, tunnels, dams, jetties, wharves, tank farms, pipelines, and more, delivering tailored solutions regardless of project size or complexity.
