ROV Water Tank Inspection

No Downtime With Underwater Video Inspection

CST® offers remotely operated vehicle (ROV) water tank inspection for situations that require inspection and monitoring of tanks while they remain in service. This service utilizes a sanitized underwater ROV with video camera and recording equipment to inspect all surfaces of the tank below the water level. The visual inspection process is applicable in several industry standards, including NFPA 25, and is the perfect solution for evaluating coating integrity without removing the tank from service. Our inspection video and associated reports help you determine the overall condition of the interior and exterior of your tank, which will assist you in identifying and budgeting for any necessary repairs. We recommend having your tank inspected every 3 to 5 years. Advantages of ROV inspections:

  • No service disruption.
  • Cost effective for limited budgets, no insurance premium payments for out-of-service inspections.
  • Minimizes tank preparation time and cost.
  • Detailed documentation provided (including videos and photos).
  • Great for general interior inspections.
  • No water loss.

Areas of corrosion, coating failure or other discrepancies will be documented and noted on the survey video and reports.
  • Inspection can be scheduled to meet customer requirements.
  • Inspection completed within one day.
  • No extra equipment needed to carry out operations at height.
  • External tank inspection can be carried out simultaneously.
  • No confined-space working.
  • Eliminates potential risks of human injury or contamination.

When ROV is the Obvious Choice

ROV inspection is ideal for the following applications:

Potable Water Tanks

ROVs are the best choice for inspecting and documenting the condition of interior tank coatings and critical components of potable storage tanks, including walls, floor, roof, inlets, outlets and vents. ROVs are also useful for detecting leaks, harmful corrosion and sediment buildup. The inspections help forecast future cleaning and maintenance needs before larger problems arise.

Fire Water Tanks

Fire water tanks play a critical role in fire protection. They are constantly on stand-by, primed to deliver water in an emergency. A sprinkler tank must be properly maintained to assist in providing protection of assets and human life. Regular inspections offer businesses, insurers and municipalities peace of mind.
