Rampart Hydro Services specializes in the use of ultra-high pressure (UHP) water for hydrodemolition, surface cleaning and preparation, airfield rubber and paint removal, highway-stripping removal. Our powerful UHP pumps each operate at 36,000 psi (2,450 bar) and 16 gpm (60 lpm). Our UHP pumps are more environmentally friendly using significantly less water than low-pressure pumps with higher flow rates while providing high quality concrete removal and surface cleaning. Using a variety of robotic machines and a single rotating water jet, we are able to quickly and efficiently remove concrete. By using multiple nozzles ranging from 16 to 28 we can easily remove coatings, membrane, rubber and paint without damaging the underlying surface. Rampart’s maintenance and repair facility is located adjacent to the Pittsburgh International Airport. With the largest fleet of UHP hydro demolition and cleaning equipment in the US we have the equipment and manpower to meet your hydro demolition and surface preparation requirements. Rampart also offers vacuum clean up and water recovery services. We operate high-capacity, state of the art vacuum trucks and robotic vacuum tractors to clean up following hydrodemolition. Our vacuum trucks can connect directly to the hydrodemolition robot to immediately collect the water, allowing Rampart to perform "dry hydrodemolition." Our vacuum trucks are equipped with a 10,000-psi water blaster that is used to assist in the clean up operation. A vacuum truck follows each of the rubber and paint removal units to collect the rubber and paint debris along with the excess water. We are proud of our ability to design and build special robotic equipment to meet challenging removal and cleaning requirements. Our specialized equipment includes the Tunnel Master, TracVac, Column Cutter and High Reach Machines. Rampart’s goal is to bring the power of UHP water to all surfaces providing the highest level of surface preparation available within the industry! Please take the time to explore our web site. Our goal is to make an informative site both with regards to the hydrodemolition and hydrocleaning process, but also with the variety of tools and equipment available to complete your project. We are always happy to discuss your specific application. Contact us, and we will be happy to discuss your project needs with you. Top
In 1988, Flow International Corporation started building the X-pump for sale to hydrodemolition and hydrocleaning contractors. The only problem was that no one could afford the equipment or had the knowledge to run and maintain it. The company, Flow Services, was born out of a necessity to use a product that no one else could handle. Around the same time, Flow International sold three X-pumps to a runway cleaning company called Rampart Waterblast Inc. operated out of Sarasota, Florida. Rampart Waterblast built three blasters with these X-pumps. Flow International maintained a financial interest in Rampart Waterblast Inc. through it’s 1990 transaction and in 91 took a controlling interest. Rampart Waterblast Inc. was made a division of Flow Services and both companies performed as general and subcontractor depending on the type of work involved. In the years leading up to 1997, the company started to transition away from general contracting work to avoid competing with customers. 1997 proved to be a year of transition for Flow Services. During this year, a change in ownership and separation from the parent company, Flow International, required a name change to Rampart Construction Services. The name Rampart had already been well established as a hydrodemolition and hydrocleaning authority, so the change made sense. This move also retired the "Waterblast Inc." part of name, while the runway cleaning continued to be part of the company’s services. 1998 marked the beginning of a new epoch for Rampart when Beth Newbold became sole owner of the company. A further refining of the company’s mission brought about the name that we know of today. With this name change to Rampart Hydro Services, the company divested itself from any last thoughts of general contracting and focused its efforts on being a specialty subcontractor. In 2003, vacuum trucks were added to Rampart's fleet for cleanup and water control. Along with these trucks came the TracVac and all the attachments and improvements that have been made to improve cleanup, Dry-hydrodemolition and Dry-Membrane removal. During this past decade, Rampart has also created a plethora of specialty units, such as the Hydro Reach, the Squirt, the Tunnel Master, an underwater hydro unit, and the Surface Master. Water treatment has been a part of the company's evolution going back as far as 1992, but 2007 signaled a significant commitment to water treatment. With the acquisition of the Alar unit, Rampart Hydro has also stepped closer towards water re-use. The evolution continues in 2008 as three brand new 6 cylinder tier 3 engines have been added to the Rampart fleet. The TX-04 will be the most efficient, powerful and clean burning unit in the fleet. Innovation is a company core value which means that we are constantly looking for ways to improve equipment, safety, and procedures. Over the course of the last ten years, Rampart Hydro Services has become a full service hydrodemolition and hydrocleaning subcontractor. We are happy to celebrate 10 years as Rampart Hydro Services this year and twenty years of Ultra High Pressure cutting and cleaning. Top
