EWL WaterJet is a family run business with over 30 years of experience in the fabrication and engineering industry. We draw upon the expertise of our engineers and utilise state-of-the-art fabrication facilities to produce precision components and parts of the very highest quality. Twin headed abrasive water jet and pure water jet cutting facilities allow us to accurately cut materials that are up to 200mm thick. We employ the latest CAD software to guarantee the accuracy of profiles and to maximise the utilisation of materials during nesting.
Water jet cutting is a flexible fabrication process that provides a clean, crisp and highly precise cut, often with a burr free finish. In addition to water jet cutting, EWL offers a complete range of standard fabrication services, including machining, polishing and coating. We appreciate the need for a supplier that can offer a one stop shop service, which is why we continually invest in the latest engineering and fabrication facilities so that we can provide a comprehensive service.
We’re strategically located in the heart of Cheshire, close to both the M6 and the M56 motorways, which means can we supply a UK and Europe wide customer base with first class finished parts. If you would like to find out more about EWL and the services that we offer, be sure to visit the EWL WaterJet website. And, if you have any queries regarding our fabrication capabilities, do not hesitate to get in touch - we’re always happy to answer your questions with the best advice and guidance.

When you pressurise any standard house water from 50psi up to 52,000 psi and force it through a very small hole faster than the speed of sound, a cutting jet is created that will find its way through almost any material. It’s no real surprise then that Water Jet Cutting is one of the fastest growing engineering techniques in the world. We use this process to cut virtually any shape, in any material, including steel and even bullet proof glass. EWL employs two water cutting systems: "Abrasive", where very find sand is added to the pressurised water to cut through harder materials, and "Pure Water", which is used to cut through softer materials such as rubber, foam, and carpets etc.

The benefits of water jet cutting are numerous. First and foremost, it is an extremely versatile process. Abrasive systems can cut virtually any material in any shape up to 200mm thick. Moreover, this can be done without heat input, warping, distorting and other HAZs associated with laser and plasma cutting. Another reason for its success is the quality of cuts that it offers -water jet cutting provides a smooth, crisp cut, often with a burr-free finish, unlike laser and plasma processes which can leave sharp burrs and slag. It’s highly accurate too: tight tolerances of less than +/-0.1mm can be achieved. And the advantages do not stop there. It’s faster, it produces less waste, and it is therefore far more economical than other processes.

Water jet cutting is just one of the fabrication services that EWL offers. The profiles that we cut may also undergo secondary processes such as machining, forming, surface finishing, welding and even heat treating. Few other water jet cutting companies can offer complete part production like we do. So don't go around the houses to source other subcontractors when you have it all done in one convenient place. You'll save time, money, and a lot of effort. As well as water jet cutting, we have modern facilities for press brake bending, guillotining, sawing, rolling, TIG welding, MIG welding, Arc welding, coded pipe welding, metal polishing, anodising, powder coating, zinc plating, heat treating, milling, turning, tapping and drilling.

EWL also fabricates and installs pipework, from small replacements and repairs to 1000 meter pipeline systems. We handle a wide variety of materials suitable for a range of industrial environments, including stainless steel, mild steel, titanium, rilsan lined pipework, rubber coated pipework, monel alloy 400, polyethylene, and polyurethane. Coded and non-coded pipework is fabricated at EWL premises or at your site by our skilled fabricators.
