We own the equipment we use
Nine AKA robots, our own UHP pumps, a spare robot on every job and our own technicians. That keeps a tight dock schedule moving.

For detail work and support
Next to the robots we run our own manual hydroblasting and sandblasting equipment for edges, openings, stern frames and areas a crawler cannot reach.
Hydroblasting guns & lances
2,800-bar hand guns and lances, two per UHP pump, with 40,000-psi hoses, nozzles and whip checks.
Sandblasting set
Six blast pots, six aftercoolers, blast hoses and nozzles — for manual blasting and to feed the sandblasting robots.
Workshop & site kit
Water filtration, hose sets, test bench and spare parts kept in our Sharjah workshop and sent with every job.
Fail-safe design and a safety line on every robot
Emergency stop
On the robot, the remote and the ground station.
Permanent magnets
Permanent-magnet adhesion holds the robot on power loss, backed by a safety line.
Zone 2 option
Explosion-proof (Zone 2) robot available for hazardous areas in tank farms and plants.
