Inspection Types We Offer
Panel Tanks by American Tanks offers tank owners, operators, and managers a choice between two industrial tank inspection packages.
ROV Tank Inspections
A Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) inspection employs robotic technology to assess the interior of your tank, removing the need for personnel to enter your assets.
Drone-like equipment is remotely maneuvered within tank systems, performing inspections safely and with minimal risk. These assessments are frequently carried out in potable water and fire water tanks.
ROV tank inspections represent the forefront of innovative solutions for tank examination and maintenance in our industry.
They are increasingly favored by both service providers and clients because of their:
- Ease of use and productivity.
- Safeguards against operational hazards.
- Affordable and value-driven processes.
- Leverage data to solve complex problems.
- Inventory optimization software.
- Quick and efficient report creation.
Manned/Dive Team Inspections
Historically, dive teams have been the conventional method for tank inspection, serving as the secondary inspection service for Panel Tanks by American Tanks. They are usually deployed in situations where ROV assessments are impractical.
This method entails sending personnel into tank assets to conduct manual assessments of the unit and its components. While we guarantee highly accurate results through both manned and ROV inspections, Panel Tanks by American Tanks strives to minimize human-related risks by advocating for our remote solutions whenever feasible.
