What the ROV Sees
Inspection frames and site photographs from our own work. Every image is a real asset we have inspected or cleaned - there is no stock photography anywhere on this site. Click any image to view it larger.
What you are looking at
Most of these frames were recorded by the inspection ROV with the tank in service - the sediment around a strainer box, a pitted elbow flange, an internal ladder with corrosion staining on the wall behind it, a bolted outlet flange in a lined wall. Several show the VAC Boss crawler at work on a reservoir floor, with the cleaned strip beside the sediment it is removing. The exterior photographs are fire water and storage tanks at the point of inspection, and the drained-tank images are from conventional drain-down cleans where that was the right method.
This is the kind of record an inspection produces: what was seen, where, and what warrants a closer look. More about ROV inspection and condition assessment.

Helpful to have on hand: the asset type and approximate size, depth, access arrangement, floor or liner type, and whether it can stay in service. If you do not know yet, that is fine - the inspection is how we find out.
