Interest already high for first Water Jetting Trade Show
The UK’s first trade show for industrial applications of water jetting has captured significant interest with 70% of the exhibition stands available already snapped up.
The Water Jetting Association, the member organisation for the water jetting industry in the UK, is holding the free-to-attend event at the StoneX Stadium, North West London, on 12th September 2024.
Contractors, equipment manufacturers and suppliers and training organisations are among the businesses who have taken stands at the event, with the WJA discussing opportunities with others.
WJA Director Leanne Smith said: “The water jetting industry is developing rapidly, so we believe now is the time for a trade show dedicated to its growing number of service suppliers, many of them WJA members, and customers.
“This is the first event of its kind in the UK, and probably the world. It’s an opportunity for exhibitors to showcase their capabilities and shape the future of our industry.
“We’re very pleased with the response so far, and we have more enquiries coming in from prospective exhibitors all the time. We’ve opened online bookings for free tickets and take-up is strong.

“We’ve made this a free-to-attend event so as many interested people as possible can come along and see the advantages of water jetting, and how important it is to use the technology safely.”
WJA Training and Safety Committee Member Lee O’Callaghan, one of the event organisers, said: “An exciting range of exhibitors are already booked to attend from the UK and overseas.
“The WJA Trade Show will be the place to see the latest developments in water jetting in all its forms, from pressure washing up to ultra-high pressure jetting, and all its applications.
“It will also be an opportunity for industry professionals to come together and discuss key issues influencing our industry and the WJA will host presentations about our work, especially on water jetting safety.”
The WJA Trade Show is being supported by four sponsors – training provider Water Jet Training, pump and equipment manufacturer Flowplant, equipment manufacturer Aquajet, and equipment rental and sales specialist Doornbos UK.
The wide range of exhibitors already booked in reflects how water jetting has become integral to maintenance processes across many industrial and commercial sectors.

High and ultra-high pressure jetting, at pressures up to and beyond 1,700 bar (25,000 pounds per square inch), are vital to tube, pipe and vessel cleaning in the petrochemicals industries, and hydrodemolition.
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.
Its three water jetting codes of practice and the City & Guilds water jetting training programme they underpin are recognised in the UK and internationally for setting clear standards for safety and service quality.
Meanwhile, the WJA Water Jetting Injury Treatment Algorithm, based on academic research by leading doctors, is the world’s first best practice guide for treating water jet injuries, from first response to post-treatment recovery.
