... High-pressure waterjets were investigated for hull cleaning, metal cutting, and concrete weight coating removal from submarine pipelines. All testing was performed in the submerged condition and a selective material removal capability was observed for the hull cleaning operation. This selective...

... a considerable amount of work that requires excavation in rock and concrete. The potential of using high-pressure waterjets to meet their field needs has been considered. To date, the telephone, electrical power, and gas industries have conducted studies on the use of high-pressure waterjets. This paper contains...
