Water Systems have traditionally been limited to two options for cleaning and inspecting a reservoir or storage tank: empty the tank or send in divers. Both methods are costly, labor-intensive and raise personal safety issues. In addition, both options may require taking the tank offline, which can adversely affect the distribution system and result in a potential main break, loss of storage capacity and water quality problems.
Now there is a safer, less expensive and more effective way to clean and inspect water tanks without taking them offline -- the WEDA Water VR-700. The VR-700 uses a remote-operated, submersible vehicle to clean and inspect the bottoms of reservoirs without draining them or using divers and was developed to meet unique situations, such as cleaning more difficult areas and sediment depths.. |
