Drone Inspections – Advanced Water Storage Inspections

ROV Drone Inspections – Advanced Water Storage Inspections

Maintaining high-quality water and abundant supplies is essential for all commercial and residential sites in Australia. Regular inspections keep water systems safe and reliable, ensuring clean drinking water and fire protection.

Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) have advanced water tank inspections, making them safer and more convenient. Combining ROVs with drones boosts inspection efficiency and precision. They offer enhanced lighting, precise positioning, and easier access to underwater structures.

ROVs and other remote solutions represent a significant step forward for the water tank inspection industry. 

Why Drones and ROV Technology are the Future

Traditionally, tank inspections have been carried out by professional divers or dive teams manually. Tank Liners Sydney supports innovation to make tank inspections safer and more efficient.

We are constantly developing new and improved tank inspection equipment by combining science and industry knowledge.

Our top priorities are the safety of our experts and the efficiency of our operations. This is why we use remote solutions whenever possible for storage tank inspections. 

Benefits of Drone/ROV Tank Inspections

Tank Liners Sydney by Raven Tanks Australia uses the latest drone technology to inspect your water storage tanks. ROVs provide the most comprehensive and accurate inspection method. They safely reveal what’s happening inside potable or fire water tanks. Drone operators actively capture, document, and resolve inspection issues.

Here’s why Tank Liners Sydney prefers using ROVs for assessments:  

  • Real-time instructions and decisions are more effective because multiple experts can see what is happening and offer support.
  • Reduced personnel risk – fewer tank entries mean safer operations.
  • Less downtime - Both potable and fire suppression systems can remain online for the entire duration of each inspection.
  • Proactive maintenance – ultra-clear drone imagery enables early detection and precise repair planning.
  • Enhanced access – modern tanks require technology that reaches obstructed or risky areas.
  • Improved data management – high-definition drone inspections deliver clearer, more organized findings.
  • All ROV inspections exceed all AS1851-2012 australian standard for internal tank components.
  • Prepared for the future – our ROV methods will evolve with new tech like live streaming and advanced software.
