Compared to onshore blasting, subsea blasting requires much higher system pressures (because of ambient underwater pressures). In HPsystems these high pressures create safety issues and heavy working conditions for the diver. With an extremely low nozzle pressure of just 2 to 6 bar, Gritco’s SubSea Series provide much safer and comfortable working conditions.
Powerful benefits
Ultimate diver safety caused by low blasting pressures and uninterrupted, 2-way diver-to-crew communication (because of silent underwater operation)
No retro jets because of low, minimal pressures (unlike High Pressure Water systems)
Light and easy, one hand nozzle handling
Production output usually doubles that of HP-systems
Design and production are based upon decades of knowledge and experience
Better blasting value
Different surface finishes can be obtained with simple pressure control varying from marine growth removal to bare metal finish
Perfectly matt, non-reflective finish for remote observation and subsea inspection
Exceeds SA2.5 standard (e.g. for repainting)
Wide range of models and full back up possibility
Blasting depth possibilities range from 50 (standard series) to 200 meters (special series)
Quality includes
Double safety and emergency stop features
Time tracking for on-time replacement of critical (wear) parts
Spray painted, galvanized and non-ferrous fittings
Completely safe according to European Directive PED 2014/68/EU
