Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Inspections of Water Storage Tanks

1 min read

Benefits

  • Can be completed on short notice
  • Cost to perform an ROV inspection is approximately a third of the cost of a diver inspection
  • Acceptable form of inspection that is recognized on a Sanitary Survey
  • Safer than a diver inspection

If operational conditions prevent you from removing a storage tank from service, USG Water Solutions’ maintenance experts can inspect the interior of the tank using an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

Challenges

  • Water Scarcity
    Draining a storage tank to inspect the interior can be difficult and costly especially in water stressed areas.
  • Customer Disturbance
    Removing a water storage tank from service can affect normal operating pressures and capacities.
  • Cost and Safety
    Relying on divers to inspect your tank is costly and risky because of the inherent dangers of confined spaces.
