1. There is no downtime for water availability
Conventional water tank inspections necessitate draining the tank, a procedure with multiple drawbacks. Firstly, it squanders valuable water crucial for the community. Secondly, it interrupts service, necessitating alternative water sources (such as pumping or temporary tanks) for residents. Finally, refilling and disinfecting the tank for compliance purposes add time and complexity. ROV inspections provide a revolutionary solution. These robotic inspections enable the tank to stay operational, eradicating these disruptions and conserving water.
2. They help conserve water
Conventional tank inspections frequently involve the removal of water, which is a costly and time-consuming procedure. This may entail either extracting some water for sediment cleaning or completely draining the entire tank. In contrast, ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) present a groundbreaking solution. They can function efficiently inside a tank regardless of the water level, thereby obviating the necessity for water removal entirely.
3. ROVs are cost-effective
Avoid the expensive fees associated with divers and water extraction! Opting for ROV inspections for elevated water storage tanks can lead to savings of up to 50% compared to conventional methods. This benefit is further enhanced when your consultant possesses their own ROV equipment, maximizing your cost savings.
4. ROV inspections are more timely
Envision conducting inspections on three water tanks within a single day! That’s the efficiency ROVs bring to cities overseeing multiple tanks. Traditional dive teams restrict you to only one inspection per day. And the waiting doesn’t end there – receiving reports from dive teams introduces further delays. ROV inspections simplify the process, saving you both time and resources.
5. They allow for peace of mind
For professional ROV inspections, opt for a consulting team equipped with appropriate credentials. Seek individuals certified by NACE International (NACE) and the American Welding Society (AWS), particularly those specializing in water tower inspections.
Bringing it all together
Maintaining your water tanks in optimal condition is vital for utility operations. Routine inspections guarantee clean, efficiently operating tanks, and adhering to a consistent schedule leads to long-term cost savings through proactive maintenance. The AWWA suggests inspections every 3-5 years. This is where ROVs come into play: they provide a revolutionary alternative to traditional, costly, and time-consuming dive team inspections.
How Are ROVs Used For Water Storage Tank Inspections?
Picture miniature, remotely operated submarines outfitted with cameras and sensors. These technological wonders, known as ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles), are transforming water tank inspections.
ROVs have the ability to traverse through a water-filled tank, sending live video and data to screens. This enables water tank maintenance services to conduct comprehensive inspections of the tank’s condition without the need for drainage – a quicker, simpler, and safer alternative to traditional diving inspections.
In addition to visual inspections, ROVs can also collect water samples and execute other tasks. This groundbreaking technology empowers tank owners to effortlessly meet maintenance and inspection regulations.
ROVs Make Water Tank Maintenance Easier
Prior to the introduction of ROVs, water tank inspections were a significant challenge. Emptying these large tanks consumed days, causing service disruptions and squandering valuable water resources. Now, ROV technology offers an almost flawless inspection solution. These underwater drones maneuver through full tanks, providing live video and data without necessitating tank shutdown. Although certain maintenance tasks may still demand draining, ROV inspections enable well-informed decision-making – ultimately saving time, money, water, and inconvenience.
