Drone Inspections – Advanced Water Storage Inspections

ROV Drone Inspections for Water Storage Tanks

It is important for commercial and residential sites across Australia to maintain exceptional water quality and adequate water levels. This is because water is essential for drinking, cooking, bathing, and fire suppression. Frequent water storage system inspections are crucial to ensure that water is safe and clean.

Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and drones have revolutionized the way we inspect water storage tanks. ROVs and drones can safely and easily access underwater areas that are difficult or dangerous for humans to reach. This allows us to inspect tanks more thoroughly and accurately, and to identify potential problems early on.

ROVs and drones are equipped with high-resolution cameras and sensors that can provide detailed images and videos of the inside of tanks. This information can be used to assess the condition of the tank and to identify any areas that need repair or maintenance.

The use of ROVs and drones for water storage tank inspections has made the process safer, more convenient, and more effective.

Why Drones and ROV Technology are the Future

Traditional tank inspection methods involved divers or dive teams physically inspecting tanks manually. Tank Inspections Sydney supports industry professionals who are constantly innovating and developing new ways to make tank inspections safer and more efficient.

We are always challenging conventional inspection methods by combining science and industry knowledge to design and create new and improved tank inspection equipment.

Our top priorities are the safety of our experts and the efficiency of our operations. This is why we strive to conduct tank storage system inspections at the highest level of proficiency while keeping our personnel out of the water whenever possible.

Benefits of Drone/ROV Tank Inspections

Fire Tanks Sydney by Raven Tanks Australia uses the latest drone technology to inspect your water storage tanks. ROVs are the most comprehensive, accurate, and safe way to get a complete picture of what’s happening inside a drinking water or fire water tank.

Our drone operators are highly trained in flying, recording technical specifications or findings, and identifying problems and potential problems for appropriate repairs.

Here are the reasons why Tank Liners Sydney prefers to use ROVs for assessments whenever possible:

Real-time video streaming allows experts to collaborate more effectively by providing them with a shared view of the situation and enabling them to give and receive feedback in real time.
Drones and ROVs reduce the risk to our personnel by eliminating the need for humans to physically enter tanks, where communication can easily be lost or interrupted.
Drone and ROV inspections can be conducted without shutting down potable or fire suppression systems, which can reduce downtime and improve system availability.
Drone inspections allow tank maintenance professionals to identify problems and make repairs early on, before they become major issues that require costly and time-consuming replacements. Drone imagery is so clear and precise that it can be used to create highly accurate plans for damage repair.
Drones and ROVs can access obstructed, dangerous, or difficult-to-assess areas of liquid storage tanks, regardless of their complexity. As liquid storage tanks become more complex, the need for technologies like drones and ROVs is increasing.
Drones and ROVs are like extra eyes for tank inspectors, allowing them to examine delicate surfaces and components with greater agility and precision. Their high-definition cameras can capture detailed images and videos that can be used to document and organize findings and data more effectively.
ROV drone inspections meet or exceed all AS1851-2012 industry standards for the inspection of all internal tank components.
Tank Inspections Sydney is ready to embrace new technologies, such as live streaming and other technical support and software additions, to improve our ROV inspection methods. We are committed to adapting to the rapidly changing industry and providing our customers with the best possible service.
