Trade show goes global to spotlight growth of water jetting

The WJA Trade Show will have a strong international flavour with businesses from across Europe joining British exhibitors to showcase the latest technologies and applications across the water jetting industry.

Companies from Germany, Holland, Sweden, and the USA are among those that have taken stands at the trade show at the StoneX Stadium, North West London on Thursday 12th September 2024.

Just a few stands left

WJA Director Leanne Smith said: “We have an exciting range of UK-based companies exhibiting at the WJA Trade Show. The fact that companies from other countries are also keen to attend reflects the growing importance of water jetting as an industrial process.

“It’s clear the StoneX Stadium will be the place to find out about the latest technologies, applications and services available across the water jetting industry, from pressure washing to hydrodemolition and materials cutting, and we have a handful of stands left for companies and organisations that want to be part of it.

“We’re very pleased with the level of interest in the exhibition and are working hard to make sure everyone with an interest in water jetting knows they should come along to what is a free event.”

The WJA has made sure it is as easy as possible to secure free tickets for the trade show. Anyone who wants to attend just has to complete a simple online form.

Water jetting contractors, equipment manufacturers, hire specialists, PPE suppliers, and training providers are among the wide range of exhibitors preparing to put on the water jetting show of the year at the StoneX Stadium.

It is being supported by four sponsors – Doornbos, Flowplant, Aquajet and WaterJet Training.

WJA Trade Show organiser Lee O’Callaghan said: “Companies with external exhibition space will be large water jetting machines, including pumps, jetting units and vacuumation units, representing cutting edge technology in our industry.

“The WJA Trade Show will also be a place where visitors can talk to leading experts from around the world and find out about new developments, for example in water jetting robotics and operative safety.

“A strong theme will be health and safety, as it always is with water jetting, so health and safety professionals who need to know more about safe application of water jetting techniques should definitely attend.”

Innovation on show

WJA experts and some of the exhibitors will also be giving talks during the one-day event which follows the WJA annual general meeting being held on Wednesday 11th of September.

Key developments in WJA support for the water jetting industry, including its launch in 2024 of the new pressure washing code of practice, known as the Purple Code, will also be on display.

High and ultra-high pressure jetting, at pressures up to and beyond 1,700 bar (25,000 pounds per square inch), are vital for tube, pipe and vessel cleaning in the petrochemicals industries, hydrodemolition in the construction sector, and surface preparation across many sectors, notably to support coatings and paint application.

High pressure techniques, up to 608 bar (10,000 psi) are essential for cleaning drains and sewers. While low pressure water jetting, up to 207 bar (3,000 psi), also referred to as pressure washing, is used to clean cars and remove graffiti from walls.

Founded in 1980, the WJA is one of the world’s leading water jetting trade associations. Members include contractors, equipment manufacturers, equipment suppliers and hire specialists, training providers, and water jetting service users.

The WJA also has a City & Guilds accredited water jetting training programme delivered by WJA approved training providers and instructors in the UK and across the world.
