Tank Cleaning

Maintaining clean and corrosion-free potable water or fire tanks is essential for the safety and reliability of your business. Stagnant water can quickly become a breeding ground for bacteria, which can lead to a variety of problems, including corrosion, biological growth, and health hazards.

Tank Liners Sydney by Raven Engineering Group is a leading provider of state-of-the-art commercial tank cleaning services. We understand that no two tanks are the same, so we customize our cleaning services to meet the specific needs of your business. Our team of experienced technicians uses a variety of methods to remove dirt, debris, and bacteria from your tanks, including high-pressure water blasting, chemical cleaning, and manual cleaning.

We are committed to keeping your water storage units contaminant-free and in safe, serviceable condition for as long as possible. We also offer a variety of maintenance plans to help you keep your tanks clean and in good condition.

The Risks of Neglecting Routine Tank Cleaning

All water tanks and storage systems need to be cleaned regularly to prevent premature damage to their surfaces and components. This includes internal and external areas, as well as components and other equipment such as access platforms.

If your tank has not been cleaned in several years, we highly recommend our sludge removal cleaning service. This service is designed to remove sludge build-up from the tank floor, pump, and other components.

A number of problems can develop due to a lack of a professional routine cleaning schedule, including:

If excessive contaminants, such as microbes and chemicals, build up in your potable water tank, the water can become unsafe to drink. The tank will then need to be cleaned and treated, which will take it offline.
Corrosion is a major threat to water tanks, both for human health and for the structural integrity of the tank itself. Rust can cause seepage and minor leaks, which can eventually empty the tank and lead to major structural repairs.
Legionella is a bacteria that can cause Legionnaires' disease, a serious respiratory illness. Legionella thrives in stagnant water, especially in water tanks with high levels of iron and corrosion. It is important to have your water tank cleaned and inspected regularly to prevent the growth of Legionella.

Our Tank Cleaning Services

A routine tank cleaning typically involves scrubbing, washing, and sterilizing the tank walls, floors, and other components. However, more extensive cleaning methods may be required depending on the age, condition, and maintenance history of your tank.

If you notice an unpleasant odor coming from your tanks or discoloration of the water, this could be a sign of a more serious problem that requires immediate cleaning and inspection.

Should I be Concerned About the Above Self-Diagnosis?

f your tank contains dirty water, it is important to have it cleaned as soon as possible. The extent of the damage and the cause of the problem will determine the type of cleaning required. At a minimum, the tank will need to be drained and refilled after cleaning. Once we have identified any major problems, we can provide you with a more accurate quote and timeline for the job.

Here are some of the commercial tank cleaning services we offer:

Potable Water Panel Tank Cleaning – Comprehensive condition reports based on findings or detections following scaling and scrubbing walls, ceilings, and flooring.
Fire Water Tank Cleaning – Sediment reduction and debris removal cleaning activities can be conducted while fire tank systems remain online under most circumstances – no draining or emptying is necessary.
Climate-Sensitive Tank Cleaning – We visit almost any requested site with an online potable or fire water containment unit. Remoteness, working at heights, or difficult-to-access terrain presents no issues for the Tank Inspections Sydney team..
Remote Access Tank Cleaning – Cleaning of irrigation tanks located on rural properties.
Specialised Dive Team Tank Cleaning – Confined space-qualified divers for cleaning projects where ROVs may not be effectively suitable.
ROV Cleaning – Although primarily configured for inspectional tasks, Remotely Operated Vehicles or ‘maintenance robots’ are also capable of performing a limited or basic range of minor cleaning duties.

While dive teams and other manned inspections and cleaning operations are still effective, ROVs offer a number of advantages that benefit customers in the long run. These benefits include:

No need to drain the tank’s contents prior
Zero-risk approach
Zero human error
Robots won’t collect or contribute to any harmful bacteria already in the tank – your tank remains organism-free
Hours of cleaning can be performed continuously
Every action is recorded providing us with enhanced diagnostics and reporting capabilities
Extremely limited access or task restrictions across the board!
