APPLICATION DESCRIPTION
Removal of concrete in order to reinforce underlying steel rebar before re-pouring new concrete. Common materials include concrete, asphalt, paint and coatings, among others.
BENEFITS OF WATER
Conventional jackhammer tools damage and/or deform the rebar and surrounding structures. Water jetting, however, does not impact rebar integrity, but it does clean and remove rust from the rebar, which increases adhesion to the new concrete.
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
Pump Systems:
20K psi @ 38 GPM for removing large concrete deposits
40K psi @ 8 GPM for removal of paint/coatings and rebar cleaning
Tool Systems:
Dump Guns
Rotary Guns
Triangle Shapejets
Accessories:
Flow Splitters
Diverter Valves
