Laser Blasting Pros
NDT Surface Preparation
All welds can benefit from the precise and deep cleaning that laser cleaning offers. Laser cleaning does not cause smearing, folding or any other surface change to the substrate, the surface contamination is vaporized and particulates from within defects is removed, leaving the surface in an ideal condition for dye penetrant and magnetic particle testing.
Project Laser can selectively and precisely remove surface corrosion, magnetite, paint, soot, oil, grease and most other thin layers of surface contamination prior to NDT inspection
Before Laser Cleaning
Barely visible defect, increased chance of false or detrimental readings
After Laser cleaning
The laser is able to penetrate into cracks, removing surface debris, thus enhancing the visibility of all cracks and defects.

-
Effective on thin surface residues and contaminants layers
WHY LASER CLEANING
Benefits of laser cleaning for NDT surface prep
Our laser cleaning service has revolutionized NDT validation plate cleaning as well as NDT surface prep during shutdowns and scheduled NDT. With our technology, barely visible defects are now easily detectable, and fewer false readings occur.
Unlike sandblasting, laser cleaning does not smear the surface or conceal the defect. Our lasers are able to penetrate into cracks and remove surface debris, enhancing the visibility of all cracks and defects.
Laser cleaning is an environmentally friendly abrasive free and non damaging.
Most assets that require NDT surface prep can benefit from laser cleaning. Our lasers are mobile and have rigging points to enable them to be lifted into place.
