Sprinkler Tank ROV Inspection

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.

Experts in Storage Tank Inspections

Our technicians and inspectors, who are available throughout the UK, are qualified in PCN and EEMUA 159 / API 653 standards. They produce comprehensive “Fit for Purpose” reports. Typically, tank inspections are conducted alongside other NDT methods to provide a complete inspection service.

When we inspect a sprinkler tank and its connection points, we include:

  • Full analysis of the sprinkler tank’s panels and walls
  • Careful review of any roof and its supports
  • Inlet valves, contents gauges and immersion heater elements
  • Access routes, including ladders
  • All the pipe connection points
