Water Storage Tank Inspection

1. Operational Challenge

Drinking water reservoirs require periodic structural audits. Draining tanks disrupts municipal supply lines and wastes millions of gallons of treated water, while diver entry risks drinking water contamination.

2. Robotic Solution & Deployment

Deployed food-grade sanitized ROV Volt to conduct full interior wall, joint seal, and floor sediment scans while reservoirs remained online and full.

3. Technical Methodology

Lowered sanitized ROV Volt through top access hatches. Autodepth and autoheading controls executed systematic grid sweeps of columns and base seals.

4. Execution Workflow

1
Chemical sterilization of ROV Volt to potable water standards.
2
Hatch lowering with neutrally buoyant tethers.
3
Grid sweep of base seals, joint liners, and wall columns.
4
Potable compliance audit reporting.

5. Project Results & Impact

Audited 4 large municipal drinking water reservoirs, saving 12M gallons of water and eliminating public supply disruption.
