Storage Tank Inspection to EEMUA 159

As part of the LPC Rules for Automatic Sprinkler Installations 2015 incorporating BS EN12845, at no more than 10-Year intervals, all storage tanks shall be examined internally.

We understand why clients may not want a sprinkler tank drained for the internal inspection process. That is why we provide full ROV surveys, using high-spec submersible digital camera equipment and ultrasound. Full water supply is maintained throughout the inspection, keeping sprinkler systems available throughout the inspection. This method also conserves water and eliminates the need for re-commissioning a sprinkler tank, reducing costs.
