Safety First – UHP Water Jetting

Ultra-High-Pressure water jetting is an incredibly useful and powerful tool, but it can be hazardous. Hydrodemolition is particularly fraught with dangers, as you would expect when concrete is being torn apart with water that is reaching supersonic speeds of 400-750 meters per second (faster than sound!).

At RGL Services, safety isn't just a checkbox, it's the foundation of every job we take on. Since our founding in 1984, we’ve been pioneering safe, effective water jetting solutions across the UK and beyond.

Our founder, John Twigg has long been at the forefront of the industry, helping shape safety standards through his long-term membership in the Water Jetting Association (WJA), known at the time as the Water Jetting Contractors Association. John played a pivotal part in creating the Code of Practice and authoring guidance for A&E departments on treating water jetting injuries.

This unwavering commitment to safety has not only protected our teams but also set benchmarks for the entire industry. At RGL, we continue to build on John's legacy by investing in cutting-edge training, robotic automation, and bespoke equipment that minimizes risks while maximizing efficiency. We also hold ISO 45001:2018 Health & Safety Management certification.

Whether you're tackling a complex hydrodemolition project or seeking reliable surface preparation solutions, our teams are ready to deliver, safely and on time.
