🎯 Why is Surface Preparation so important?

Surface preparation is often where coating performance is won or lost
It is rarely the visible issue, until failure appears later

surface preparation is an important, but often overlooked step, within concrete repair, helping to extend the lifespan of concrete structures

🧠 Planning tip

Reviewing substrate condition before specifying repairs can reduce unnecessary scope and improve outcomes

🔍 Surface prep is not just cleaning, it can influence coating life

Poor preparation can lead to premature coating breakdown, adhesion issues and costly rework

Industrial coatings last much longer if the surface they're being applied to has been properly prepared. Learn more here

🚒 Fire Damage in Bedford

Sabre Jetting recently made the decision to enter the robotic world & purchased a new Aqua Cutter 410A Evolution 2.0

It was delivered to site to undertake concrete removal to severely fire damaged walls in Bedford
The concrete had lost considerable strength due to the intense heat damage but with careful programming a support from 2 extremely experienced hand lance teams we removed 40 m/3 in 13 shifts!

Another excellent result from Team Sabre – showcasing our on-going commitment to the hydro-demolition industry 💪

🧠 Planning tip

Reviewing access alongside methodology can save significant disruption later
The right method often depends as much on the site constraints as the repair itself

🏗️ Project Spotlight

The Sabre Jetting team previously carried out work to expose couplers on HS2. Controlled UHP water jetting allowed couplers to be exposed without damaging surrounding concrete or reinforcement

See the project here 👇

Approximately 2km of diaphragm wall needed the top 50mm-100mm removed to expose couplers, in readiness for the roof section rebar to be fitted. Hydrodem techniques were employed because the poor quality final concrete left by the piling rigs could be removed, and the couplers could also be exposed w...

⚠️ Experiencing programme delays?

Delays are not always caused by the repair itself
Preparation stages and substrate issues are often where projects lose time, but early planning can help to avoid that
Hydrodemolition is able to remove concrete while also preparing the surface for repair

We are happy to offer a full hydrodemolition package on every project, including provision of water and, treatment of the run-off water. Call us now

💡 Why do some concrete repairs fail earlier than expected?

Often the issue starts long before the repair material is applied
Proper hydrodemolition is able to remove deteriorated concrete while preserving sound substrate and exposing reinforcement correctly for lasting repairs
