Drone Inspections – Advanced Water Storage Inspections

ROV Drone Inspections for Water Storage Tanks

Water storage is essential for both commercial and residential sites in Australia. It is important to keep water quality high and levels adequate, both for drinking water and fire suppression systems. Regular inspections of water storage systems are crucial to ensure the health and safety of everyone.

Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) have revolutionized water tank inspections, making them safer and more convenient. Drones are now being used to assist with ROV inspections, providing even better access to underwater infrastructure.

ROVs and other remote solutions have been a major step forward for the water storage industry. Lighting upgrades, improved positioning, and better accessibility have made it possible to inspect tanks more thoroughly and safely.

Why Drones and ROV Technology are the Future?

Tank Liners Melbourne by Raven Tanks Australia is committed to using innovative tank inspection methods to improve safety and efficiency. We are constantly challenging traditional inspection methods and developing new and improved equipment. Our top priorities are the safety of our experts and the efficiency of our operations.

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

Tank Liners Melbourne 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 is happening inside a drinking water or fire water tank. Our drone operators are highly trained in flying, recording technical data and findings, and identifying problems and potential hazards so that they can be repaired promptly.

Here are the reasons why Tank Liners Melbourne by Raven Tanks Australia prefers to use ROVs for assessments whenever possible:

  • Real-time collaboration improves the effectiveness of instructions and decisions.
  • Reduced risk to our personnel by reducing the need for humans to physically be submerged inside tanks where communication can easily be lost or interrupted.
  • Reduced downtime by keeping both potable and fire suppression resources online for the entire duration of each inspection.
  • Drone inspections allow for proactive, rather than reactive, tank maintenance.
  • Drones can access obstructed, dangerous, or difficult-to-inspect areas of tanks and systems, regardless of their layout.
  • Drones provide us with the extra eyes we need to inspect delicate surfaces and components with greater agility and precision.
  • ROV drone inspections are in compliance with all AS1851-2012 industry standards for internal tank components.
  • Tank Liners Melbourne by Raven Tanks Australia is ready to adopt future technologies, such as live streaming and other software additions, to enhance our standard ROV inspection methods.
