Heat exchanger & tube bundle cleaning
Automated tube lancing clears fouled bundles quickly and uniformly, restoring heat-transfer efficiency.
Industrial Hydroblasting Services
High-Pressure Hydro Blasting from 100 to 2,400 bar
Expert hydroblasting for surface, tube and line cleaning on industrial sites across South Africa — delivered with hands-free tooling, full PPE and site-specific risk controls.
What is hydro blasting?
Water-jet cleaning that removes what mechanical methods can't
Hydro blasting (also called water jetting or hydrojetting) uses ultra-high-pressure water to strip scale, coatings, product build-up and corrosion from industrial surfaces without abrasives or chemicals. FGH operates units from 100 bar for routine wash-downs right up to 2,400 bar for the hardest deposits.
Our crews are trained on hands-free tooling — automated tube lancing, rotating nozzles and surface-prep heads — so operators stay out of the line of fire. Every job starts with a site risk assessment and ends with a clean, inspected surface ready for the next stage of your shutdown or maintenance programme.

What's included
Hydro blasting applications we deliver
Pipe & line cleaning
Internal pipe jetting removes scale, sludge and blockages from process lines, drains and culverts.
Surface preparation
Strip old coatings, rust and contaminants to a clean substrate ahead of inspection or recoating.
Tank & vessel wall cleaning
Remove product residue and build-up from storage tanks, reactors and silos.
Concrete & floor hydro-demolition
Controlled removal of damaged concrete and heavy process deposits without impact tools.
Plant outage support
Dedicated hydro blasting crews and units scheduled around your shutdown programme.
How we work
Our hydro blasting process
Every FGH job follows the same disciplined sequence — scope it properly, control the risk, do the work, and hand it back documented.
01
Site survey & risk assessment
We inspect the equipment, confirm pressure requirements and complete a job-specific risk assessment before any water is brought online.
02
Equipment selection
The right pump unit, nozzle and tooling are matched to the material being removed and the access available.
03
Controlled execution
Exclusion zones, PPE and hands-free tooling are in place throughout. Progress is checked against the agreed scope.
04
Inspection & handover
Cleaned surfaces are inspected with you, waste water is contained and the area is handed back ready for the next task.

FAQ
Hydro Blasting questions, answered
What pressure do you need for my job?
It depends on the material. Light product build-up and wash-downs are typically handled at 100–500 bar, scale and coatings at 1,000–1,500 bar, and hardened deposits or hydro-demolition at up to 2,400 bar. We confirm the pressure during the site survey.
Is hydro blasting safe to run next to live plant?
Yes, with the right controls. Our crews set up exclusion zones, use hands-free tooling and follow an ISO-aligned SHERQ system so work can proceed alongside your operations.
Does hydro blasting damage the underlying surface?
No. Water alone does the work, so steel, concrete and most linings are left intact. Pressure and nozzle selection are chosen specifically to protect the substrate.
Can you handle the waste water?
Yes. We can contain, recover and transport the run-off through our industrial vacuum and waste transport services, with documentation for your records.
