Services

Robot-first surface preparation

One team from bare steel to final coat. We plan the job, run our own robots and pumps, record every square metre and hand over inspected steel.

Core service

Robotic UHP hydroblasting

Hydroblasting crawlers hold the 2,800-bar jet at the right distance and speed for the whole shift.

  • Waterjet cleaning to the specified SSPC-SP WJ / NACE WJ cleanliness grade (WJ-1 to WJ-4) — typically WJ-2 for recoating
  • Side shell, flat bottom, tank walls and roofs
  • Edges and openings finished by hand lance inside the same job
Robotic

Robotic abrasive blasting

Dedicated sandblasting crawlers where the coating system needs an anchor profile.

  • Sa 2½, 75–100 µm profile
  • Tank internals and linings
  • Hose and pressure-drop calculations per job
Robotic

Robotic spray coating

Painting crawlers apply epoxy, glass-flake, zinc and polyurethane systems evenly, with DFT recorded per area.

  • Hull and tank external systems
  • DFT control and reports
Supply

Equipment supply & service

We sell and support the robots and UHP pumps we use on our own jobs, with operator training and spares from Dubai.

  • AKA Robotics — exclusive dealer, sales & after-sales
  • Henan Boy (Megajet) — authorised dealer, sales & after-sales
After-sales

After-sales service

For every robot and pump we supply: testing, training, repairs and spare parts from our Sharjah workshop.

  • Factory acceptance & site commissioning tests
  • Operator and maintenance training
  • Repairs, overhauls and genuine spare parts
Rental

UHP pump hire with operator

Our 30 and 56 L/min UHP units with a trained Prime Shield operator, for short hires.

  • Day + night shift rates
  • Client supplies water and diesel
Documentation

Project file & reporting

Method statement, daily progress, stoppage log, DFT records and photos — issued with revision numbers.

  • Joint measurement for every invoice
  • S-curve of progress against plan
Why robotic

Faster, safer, fully inspected

A robot keeps the jet at the right distance and speed all shift, so you get an even surface, fewer people at height, less water and diesel per square metre, and a clear record for your inspector.
