UHP Waterblasting

Rubber Removal
Carbonized rubber buildup can reduce runway friction and create unsafe conditions for aircraft during takeoff and landing. HASCO provides airfield rubber removal services using ultra-high-pressure (UHP) waterblasting to safely remove rubber deposits while preserving the pavement surface.
Our environmentally responsible removal methods restore runway friction, help airports maintain FAA compliance, and improve overall airfield safety with minimal disruption to operations.
Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is essential for long-lasting airfield markings. Removing curing compounds, contaminants, oils, and deteriorated paint helps ensure maximum paint adhesion and improves the durability and visibility of new pavement markings.
HASCO prepares concrete, asphalt, and previously painted surfaces using proven techniques that promote longer-lasting results and safer airport operations.


Paint Removal
Removing old or conflicting airfield markings is essential before new markings are applied. HASCO’s paint removal services eliminate excessive paint buildup, curing compounds, and surface contaminants while creating a clean surface for superior paint adhesion.
Using advanced removal equipment and experienced technicians, we help airports reduce Foreign Object Debris (FOD), improve marking performance, and maintain safe, compliant airfield operations.
