Fire-fighting tank cleaning with divers: non-stop operations for maximum safety.

Fire tanks are a crucial element in fire protection systems. To ensure their efficiency, it is essential to keep them clean and operational at all times. Franchini Servizi Ecologici offers a specialized fire tank cleaning service with divers, performed without interruptions, thus ensuring the operational continuity of fire protection systems.

Preliminary diagnosis with a submersible drone

Before proceeding with any cleaning operation, it is essential to assess the actual condition of the tank. To prevent premature or unnecessary entry of operators into confined spaces, we use a remotely controlled submersible drone.

This technology allows us to inspect the bottom and walls, recording high-definition videos and images. Video inspection offers two fundamental advantages:

• Safety: Human risk is avoided during the diagnosis phase.
• Efficiency: The actual quantity of sludge to be removed is assessed, allowing divers to intervene in a targeted manner and only when strictly necessary.

Uninterrupted underwater cleaning operations

Once the need for intervention has been determined, our highly trained divers (OTSO) take action. Franchini is able to perform complete cleaning of firefighting tanks without emptying them.

This non-stop approach avoids the costs and time of emptying and refilling, but above all, it ensures that the firefighting water reserve remains available, guaranteeing the continuous safety of the structure throughout all work phases.

Advanced technologies for optimal results

Cleaning isn't limited to manual removal. We use cutting-edge technologies to manage waste in a clean and environmentally friendly way:

• Underwater suction systems: to remove sludge and debris from the bottom without excessively clouding the water.
• Dry box and "big bag" filtration: The sucked-up sediments are conveyed into special external filtration systems that separate the solids from the water, allowing for orderly waste management.

These tools help keep the system in optimal condition, extending its useful life.

Certified staff and guaranteed safety

Franchini's diving team is composed exclusively of certified professionals, with specific experience in confined and potentially polluted environments.

Each operation is performed in strict compliance with current regulations (Legislative Decree 81/08 and guidelines for industrial underwater work) and with the adoption of strict safety protocols, to protect both operators and the client's systems.

Complementary services for integrated management

In addition to fire reserve maintenance, we offer complete management of submerged water systems:

• Cleaning of drinking water intake points: removal of algae and blockages from intake grates to ensure the quality of the water distributed.
• Cleaning of settling tanks: targeted interventions to ensure the efficiency of industrial and civil wastewater treatment processes.
