ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle)
Water Tank Inspections

The main advantage of our ROV inspections? You do not have the inconvenience and expense of taking your tank out of service for several days for draining, inspection, filling, and waiting for bacteriological results.

How does ROV work?
Our ROV swims throughout the tank interior to observe upper sidewalls and roof interior from only a few feet away, easily moves the bottom silt to observe the floor condition and identifies obvious adhesion bubbling and paint failures. Our ROV inspections:
• Do not require the OSHA Confined Entry requirements of a drained or diver inspection.
• Do not need you to lockout/tagout your tank as you are required to do for a diver inspection.
• Achieve a very thorough interior inspection.
