ROV/Drone Inspections
• 20 years of experience •
Raven Tanks Australia plans and conducts potable water tank and fire tank ROV inspections for a range of industries and applications.
Remotely Operated Vehicles provide a comprehensive, risk-free analysis of the inside of your tank. Drone technology can also capture views, angles, and obscured tank sections deemed too difficult or dangerous for humans to access.
Specialized circumstances may require a diver to complete a tank inspection. Both our dive teams and ROV operators are highly trained, working in close collaboration with compliance regulations and onsite safety guidelines.
Our tank inspection team comprises various engineers combining their expertise to perform high-quality ROV inspections providing clients with exceptional, detailed results.
Let’s view your tank assets from an ‘underwater’ perspective ensuring any necessary repair strategies are implemented before complications progress!
ROV Tank Inspection Benefits
- Industrial water tanks stay online – Zero shutdown operations are necessary
- Significantly reduced tank preparation – This makes for a faster, more cost-efficient water tank inspection
- Compact and light-weight – Ideal for smaller accessways and safe to carry and manage at heights
- Most suitable inspectional method for tanks requiring full-service capabilities during analysis
- All equipment, accessories and operations are compliant with local industry and safety standards
Our ROV – Features & Specs
- High-resolution 4K HD video – Identify what’s often overlooked by dive personnel
- 12-hour battery life – Single-day inspections without multi-day rescheduling hassles
- Live feed capabilities – Real-time streaming directly to an analysis team
- High-tech floodlight technology
Drone Roof Inspections
Actioning tank roof inspections at heights is extremely dangerous. Drone technology allows technicians to conduct preliminary assessments of tank roof structures quickly, safely and more cost-effectively than inspecting them in person.
Drones provide a full aerial snapshot of a diminishing water tank roof structure for clients with tanks located on high-rise building rooftops or in circumstances where climbing and safety equipment is required.
Drone Capabilities
- Superior stability – High-definition images and video while hovering
- Multiple cameras capture a range of angles
- GPS-enabled
- Extensive flight times allow for single-day inspections
- Thermal imaging for precision diagnosis
Why REG Minimises Diver Inspections
Commercial tank diving has traditionally proved dangerous, high-risk and costly to organise and conduct. Raven Tanks Australia have transitioned away from conventional tank inspection methods by implementing ROV/Drone technology where possible.
Entering confined spaces while submerged heightens the risk of harm to divers, especially in cases where ROV inspections can be just as thorough.
Additional reasons for integrating Remotely Operated Vehicles into inspectional activities also include:
- Reduced insurance requirements – Enabling Raven Tanks Australia to deliver lower-cost, better-value tank inspection packages
- More efficient with simpler scheduling – Tank inspections are completed in hours and can be arranged with relatively shorter notice than with dive team organisation
- Increased technician availability due to reduced certification and operational requirements.
- Drone equipment, knowledge and flight processes are largely universal – Inspections can be carried out easily and conveniently regardless of the geographic location
