Road Marking Removal, Retexturing & Cleaning

W J Hydroblast offers the very latest and safest method of removing items off road surfaces than any other system available.

Road Marking & High Friction Surfacing Removal

The markings or high friction surfacing are removed quickly and efficiently using a single pass of the Hydroblaster in a manner that creates no smoke, debris or dust. The revolutionary swing-arm on the buggy mounted head allows for efficient removal of hatchings and legends as it sweeps through a one-metre radius, it allows double lines or wide markings to be removed with a single pass.
The W J Hydroblast is able to remove all types of road markings, including high friction surfacing materials, from asphalt, concrete and block paving surfaces without detrimental damage to the surface.

Highway Retexturing

Hydroblast technology is an alternative proven method to resurfacing or surface dressing existing networks if you want to increase texture depth and skid resistance of the road surface.
Ideal for existing stone mastic asphalt / thin surfacing, Hot rolled asphalt wearing courses and fatted up surface dressing.
The Hydroblast 4000 and 8000 are the quick and efficient way to make our road networks safer and the speed of the process causes less disruption to road users than conventional methods.

Bitumen Removal

The Hydroblast machine is so versatile that it is able to remove bitumen from newly laid surfaces at junctions and roundabouts so that high friction surfacing can be laid the next day.
This method of accelerated wear to the new mat has no detrimental effect to the road surface, but allows contractors to reduce construction programmes as they don’t have to wait for traffic to wear the excess binder from the modern bitumen rich surfaces of today.

Emergency Road Cleaning

Another service that we offer with the Hydroblast is an emergency response to remove fuel spillages at accident sites. This allows the carriageway lanes to be re opened safely to traffic and has proven to be a quicker safer process than conventional methods.
