Bringing it all Together
Utility operations include water tank inspections. Regular inspections ensure that the tanks are clean and operating properly, and a consistent inspection schedule allows for easy, ongoing maintenance, which saves money over time. The AWWA suggests inspecting every three to five years. Traditional visual inspections frequently necessitate the use of a separate dive team, which is both expensive and time-consuming. Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are assisting in bridging that gap.
How are ROVs Used for Water Storage Tank Inspections?
ROVs are compact, remotely operated watercraft equipped with cameras and sensors that provide real-time underwater visuals to monitoring screens.
These advanced robotic devices have revolutionized potable water storage tank inspections by making the process faster, safer, and more accurate—without requiring the tank to be drained.
With ROVs, maintenance teams can thoroughly assess the interior of a filled tank, eliminating the need for hazardous diving inspections that require specialized permits.
Today, ROVs are widely used for visual inspections, sample collection, and various other tasks, simplifying compliance with routine water tank maintenance and inspection requirements.
ROVs Make Water Tank Maintenance Easier
Prior to the use of ROVs, water tank inspection services were required to drain these massive vessels more frequently in order to properly inspect and maintain their interiors.
ROVs allow for nearly the same accuracy during inspections while not taking tanks offline for days or weeks at a time and sacrificing their contents.
While it may still be necessary to take tanks offline and drain them to perform certain types of water tank maintenance, the decision can be made more easily using an underwater ROV.
ROV inspections are a popular choice for owners of large water storage vessels because these remote-controlled, camera-carrying robotic devices make water tank maintenance and inspections faster, easier, safer, and less expensive.
