U H P W A T E R J E T T I N G 40,000 P S I
As one of New England’s oldest and largest environmental and specialty contractors Yankee has been a leader in UHP Water Jetting applications for over a decade. UHP Water Jetting is favored globally for industrial cleaning and surface preparation due to its unmatched productivity, limited impact on the environment and enhanced performance of new coatings. UHP Water Jetting, also known as Hydro Blasting, employs high velocity water jets to blast away undesirable materials from surfaces of all kinds at pressures of up to 40,000 PSI.
When the need for industrial cleaning, coating and contaminant removal or surface preparation arises, owners today are faced with increasingly strict federal regulations, high hazardous waste disposal costs, and growing concern over environmental pollutants. Our well-trained technicians employ a variety of UHP Water Blasting machinery to eliminate both visible and invisible surface contaminants from an array of substrates leaving the surface totally clean, dry, and ready for immediate re-coating.
UHP Water Jetting applications are limitless and span a vast range of industries including industrial, commercial and marine. Yankee will help you determine the appropriate water jetting technique based on your project specifications and objectives.

Yankee’s UHP Water Blasting Technology
Yankee is proud to be at the forefront of efficient, economical and environmentally responsible work procedures to assist our diverse customers in achieving their varying objectives. We utilize a variety of UHP Water Jetting machinery including open lance guns, hand held units, automatic and robotic devices. Many of our water jetting systems are used in conjunction with HEPA-filtered vacuum technology to ensure complete containment of all toxic waste and debris.
Yankee has engineered some of the most innovative and cutting-edge water jet technology equipped to remove paint and contaminants with no emissions while simultaneously preparing the surface for immediate re-coating. Our proprietary robotic "Hydro-Spider" unit harnesses the power to capture, filter and recycle blast water for re-processing significantly reducing hazardous waste stream and disposal costs without compromising the environment. The “Hydro-Spider” provides a one-step process that eliminates human exposure to dangerous toxins and the need for scaffolding or negative pressure enclosure.
