The Benefits of Tank Inspection with Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs)

1. There is no downtime for water availability

Traditional water tank inspections require draining the tank, a process with several drawbacks. First, it wastes valuable water needed by the community. Second, it disrupts service, requiring alternate water sources (pumping or temporary tanks) for residents. Finally, refilling and disinfecting the tank for compliance adds time and complexity. ROV inspections offer a game-changing solution. These robotic inspections allow the tank to remain operational, eliminating these disruptions and saving water.

2. They help conserve water

Traditional tank inspections often require water removal, a costly and time-consuming process. This can involve either removing some water for sediment cleaning or draining the entire tank completely. In contrast, ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) offer a revolutionary solution. They can operate effectively inside a tank regardless of the water level, eliminating the need for water removal altogether.

3. ROVs are cost-effective

Skip the high costs of divers and water removal! ROV inspections for elevated water storage tanks can save you up to 50% compared to traditional methods. This advantage is even greater when your consultant owns their own ROV equipment, maximizing your cost savings.

4. ROV inspections are more timely

Imagine inspecting three water tanks in a single day! That’s the power of ROVs for cities managing multiple tanks. Traditional dive teams limit you to just one inspection per day. The wait doesn’t stop there – receiving reports from dive teams adds another layer of delay. ROV inspections streamline the process, saving you both time and resources.

5. They allow for peace of mind

For expert ROV inspections, choose a consulting team with the right credentials. Look for personnel certified by NACE International (NACE) and the American Welding Society (AWS) who specialize in water tower inspections.

Bringing it all together

Keeping your water tanks in top shape is crucial for utility operations. Regular inspections ensure clean, properly functioning tanks, and a consistent schedule saves money in the long run through proactive maintenance. The AWWA recommends inspections every 3-5 years. Here’s where ROVs come in: they offer a game-changing alternative to traditional, expensive, and time-consuming dive team inspections.

How Are ROVs Used For Water Storage Tank Inspections?

Imagine tiny, remote-controlled submarines equipped with cameras and sensors. These marvels of technology, called ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles), are revolutionizing water tank inspections.

ROVs can navigate a full tank of water, transmitting live video and data to monitors. This allows water tank maintenance services to thoroughly inspect the tank’s condition without draining it – a faster, easier, and safer alternative to traditional diving inspections.

Beyond visual inspections, ROVs can even collect water samples and perform other tasks. This innovative technology empowers tank owners to effortlessly comply with maintenance and inspection requirements.

ROVs Make Water Tank Maintenance Easier

Before ROVs, water tank inspections were a headache. Draining these massive tanks took days, disrupting service and wasting precious water. Now, ROV technology provides a near-perfect inspection solution. These underwater drones navigate full tanks, delivering real-time video and data, all without taking the tank offline. While some maintenance might still require draining, ROV inspections empower informed decisions – saving time, money, water, and hassle.
