How can we help?
Surface preparation can be completed using manual lancing or remote operated robots.
We have experience in providing the following surface preparations:
- Scabbling of a surface in preparation for the application of a repair material
- Removal of industrial coatings
- Removal of rust and contaminants from steel and concrete structures
- Removal of road markings
Concrete Slab Scabbling
Scabbling is the preparation of an existing or damaged surface to allow for secondary product adhesion. Scabbling increases the effective adhesion of the existing surfaces and removes any loose, spalling, or honeycombed surface issues.
Our high-pressure units can efficiently remove 20mm of material (effective depth for scabbling) without creating any dust or compromising the structural integrity of the structure.
Applications for scabbling works include:
- Structural concrete soffits
- Concrete columns, slabs on ground and walls
- Underside of marine assets
- Increasing thickness of existing concrete for fire rating
- Remediation of failed structural assets
- Added slip resistance to concrete pathways
- Surface preparation for epoxy coatings
- Asphalt surface preparation
