Laser cleaning removes rust, coatings, and contaminants without abrasive media, excessive dust, or substrate damage. The process operates with significantly less noise, generates minimal waste, and typically does not require an airtight containment system — reducing downtime and cleanup.
All work is performed in compliance with OSHA standards and ANSI Z136.1-2022 laser safety requirements. Operations are conducted under the supervision of certified Laser Safety Officers (LSOs) and managed by board-certified safety professionals, Certified Industrial Hygienists (CIH), and Registered Environmental Engineers. High-level PPE and site-specific engineering controls are implemented on every project.
Emissions and airborne contaminants are controlled through advanced engineering controls and industrial hygiene practices approved by Registered Environmental Engineers. Our work methods are designed to meet applicable EPA requirements while minimizing secondary waste, chemical exposure, and environmental impact.
