At Watertank Inspections LTD, our area of expertise is to perform surveys of full water tanks and record what we see. We utilise underwater drones and this means you don’t need to arrange for divers, no draining of any water from the tank and no confined space access.
We are primarily focused on providing fire sprinkler system administrators a high-quality inspection service for the purposes of maintaining Building Warrant of Fitness documentation. We also survey potable water tanks and have even assisted with scientific assessment of our lakes in New Zealand. .
More DetailsOur service is primarily aimed at tank inspection for the Fire Sprinkler industry however we have experience in other sectors:
Our service aims to empower tank owners/managers with the knowledge of their own equipment. Our clients usually have access IQP personnel, we provide IQP’s with the information they need to determine the readiness of each tank.
The most common issues we find are that hatchways are closed and locked. We can arrange lifting equipment, however this must be discussed during the quotation process
We have devised a method to help gauge the level of sediment found in your tank. This will be added as an annex to your report.
Some commercially available indicators are designed for use by farmers in an agricultural setting and are not compatible with NZS4541 as they are not accurate. Our reporting will highlight this.
These will be included in the quotation for every the first time we survey your asset.
The length of an inspection very much depends on the size and conditions found inside the tank, generally the invasive part of the inspection could take 2-4 hours.
Many times the inspection can take place while the tank in still in use. Should it be assessed to be more prudent to temporary halt processes, this time will be kept to absolute minimum.
Our team have come from backgrounds such as commercial aviation and construction management. All are current first responders, working at heights & MEWP trained. We follow safe working procedures and use quality equipment.
