Video inspection with a submersible drone: safe diagnosis for tanks and reservoirs

Periodic maintenance of fire tanks, storage basins, and large tanks is necessary to ensure their long-term efficiency. However, before proceeding with complex operations such as deep cleaning, it is often essential to have a precise understanding of the current condition of the submerged structure.

Franchini Servizi Ecologici offers a remote inspection service with a submersible drone. This solution allows us to explore and visualize the bottom and walls of your systems without emptying them and without risk, acquiring all the information necessary to evaluate whether and how to plan the subsequent intervention of divers.

High visibility remote inspection technology

Our submersible drone is an advanced tool, specifically designed to maneuver agilely in confined spaces. Remotely piloted by our technicians via a precision control console, the device navigates within the basin to reach every critical point.

Service features:

• Optimal visibility: the drone is equipped with powerful built-in lights and a high-definition camera to ensure clear images even in low-light conditions.
• Total coverage: thanks to a safety cable approximately 200 meters long, we can fully inspect even large basins or deep tanks, ensuring easy retrieval of the vehicle at all times.
• Real-time control: images are transmitted live to the operator's monitor on the surface, allowing for an immediate analysis of internal conditions.
• Data recording: during the inspection, it is possible to record videos and take photographs, providing precise visual documentation of the facility's condition.

Why choose a preliminary drone inspection?

Using the submersible drone as a diagnostic step offers tangible benefits compared to direct personnel intervention or draining the tank.

• Maximum operational safety: We avoid divers entering during the initial assessment phase. Human diving in confined spaces is a delicate operation: thanks to the drone, personnel will go down into the tank only when actually necessary and with an already defined action plan.
• Precise assessment of the intervention: Seeing what lies on the bottom beforehand allows for better organization of subsequent work. We can estimate the amount of sediment to remove and identify any structural criticalities, optimizing times and costs of the future cleaning.
• Service continuity: The inspection takes place with a full tank. This is a crucial factor for fire-fighting water reserves, which must remain operational at all times, and for production processes that cannot suffer interruptions.
• Clear reporting: At the end of the inspection, we provide the client with video and photographic recordings. This material is fundamental to have an objective record of the structure's state of conservation and to correctly plan the maintenance budget.
