Defence Industry

Precision, non-abrasive cleaning for land, air and maritime assets.

Laser Cleaning
Built for base, depot and shipyard operations

Industrial laser cleaning for platforms and support equipment

Laser Cleaning Adelaide removes corrosion, coatings, oxides, soot and residues from metallic components without abrasives or chemicals. Our dry, precise process protects substrates and tolerances, supports FOD control and reduces containment—ideal for workshops, MRO, refit programs and life-of-type extensions across Defence environments.

No media or solvents

Eliminates grit and chemicals; simpler waste and logistics on base or at sea.

Substrate-safe

Targets contaminants only—protects precision parts and coatings interfaces.

Faster turnarounds

Minimal masking and clean-up accelerate work packs and refits.

Documentation ready

Method statements, SWMS/JSA and before/after evidence supplied.

Where it delivers value

Defence-specific applications

Land Platforms & Workshops

Armoured and logistics vehicles, trailers, shelters and support equipment—controlled coating removal and corrosion treatment.

  • Weld prep & repair areas
  • Touch-off around fasteners & seams
Maritime & Shipyards

Corrosion/oxide removal on topside structures, hatch covers, handrails and machinery—reduced masking and cleaner decks.

  • Localised de-paint & refurbishment
  • Adhesion-ready surface prep
Aviation Ground & MRO

Non-abrasive cleaning of metallic components, fixtures and ground support equipment. FOD-aware, precise and repeatable.

  • Oxide/soot removal on metallic parts
  • Bonding/painting prep without media
Base Facilities & Infrastructure

Gates, gantries, tanks and metallic fixtures—remove rust, old coatings and residues with minimal containment.

  • Confined-space compatible
  • Lead/hazardous coating remediation
Tooling, Fixtures & Precision Parts

Gentle cleaning of metallic tooling and precision hardware—preserves geometry, finish and tolerances.

  • Residue/oxide removal
  • Repeatable, documented methods
Inspection, Bonding & Coating Prep

Media-free surfaces for NDT and adhesion—no grit embedment, better results and faster turnarounds.

  • NDT readiness (visual/MT/PT support)
  • Clean, activated metallic surfaces

Proven in Defence environments

Typical maintenance outcomes

Vehicle hull – corrosion remediation

Localised de-paint and rust removal enabled rapid repair welding and repaint with minimal masking.

Ship deck fittings – coating touch-off

Precise coating removal around fasteners and flanges reduced clean-up and improved adhesion.

Workshop fixtures – oxide removal

Media-free cleaning produced inspection-ready surfaces for bonding and NDT processes.

Quick tip
Laser cleaning is dry and precise—ideal where grit, water or solvent use is restricted.
Yes. We align with site security requirements and work under approved supervision. Method statements and personnel clearances can be coordinated as required.
Yes. The process is non-abrasive and highly controllable, protecting dimensions and finishes while removing contamination.
Yes. Media-free cleaning avoids grit embedment and leaves surfaces ready for bonding, painting and NDT procedures.
Pricing reflects material, contamination, geometry, access and documentation needs. We offer fixed quotes for defined work packs or competitive day rates for programs.
