The equipment was purchased three years ago but underwent long testing and approval processes to be deemed safe to bring into service. The technology can be used on most materials, although McNaul notes it is most effective on thinner coatings and corrosion. McNaul explains the P-Laser 1000-Watt unit is a laser device used to surgically remove tissue to create a clean, paintable surface or one suitable for inspection. It will replace high-impact tooling, which can damage substrates and affect workers’ health and well-being. While FMF Cape Scott (FMF CS) in Halifax has also purchased the equipment, Cape Breton would be the first to see it implemented.
“The equipment represents a technology long used in the medical field but only recently adapted for more industrial types of surface cleaning and preparation,” McNaul said. His latest goal is to introduce Laser Surface Preparation Systems.

The new laser will prepare surfaces for cleaning and repainting.
