Why Is It Important To Repair Your Fire Water Tank In Brisbane?

1851-2012 (Section 5 Australian Standard for Routine service of protection systems & equipment) stipulates the requirements for routine servicing of fire tanks. The condition indicates that you need to clean your fire tank one year after its installation and ten years afterwards.

Moreover, you need monthly inspections, after six months, and yearly. For yearly inspections, ATM Tanks add a sediment depth measurement. This procedure enables us to determine whether your fire tank needs to be cleaned more frequently. Our commercial dive team enters the tank to meet all the yearly inspection requirements.

We ensure that our dive team consists of fully qualified and licensed divers. Hence the team has the essential expertise to inspect your tank expertly during fire water tank repairs in Brisbane. Our licensed plumber inspects your fire tanks and signs off the tanks. It ensures that your tanks meet all the essential standards and local legislation.

ATM Tanks also use an underwater drone or ROV to inspect your fire tank. But these processes do not carry out various components of routine inspections. For example, one requirement is that the interior liner be felt for brittleness or any swelling. These two are signs of a leak, and these tests are crucial to establishing your liner’s longevity. Furthermore, it allows you to determine whether your liner is damaged and needs replacement.

When moisture accumulation behind the liner is not detected, it leads to the interior corrosion of your fire tank. As a result, your tank life reduces drastically. Many times as we clean or inspect your tank during our fire water tank repairs in Brisbane, we find debris.

The debris can make your pumps filthy or lead to blockage in the hydrant or sprinkler systems. Many times this debris is not detected. Hence, the waste remains when an ROV is used to inspect or clean your tank.

It is where ATM Tanks come in. Our team has all the essential qualifications and licences to undertake inspections and cleaning each year. Our commercial dive team uses special equipment; hence draining your tanks is not a requirement. In other words, our team inspects and cleans your fire tank with minimal water loss. Ensuring that your fire water storage tanks are FTA approved during cleaning and inspections would be best.

Why Is Debris Inside Your Fire Water Tank Dangerous?

During fire tank inspections, we come across foreign objects and debris inside your tanks. Waste is hazardous because it can foul pumps. It can block sprinkler heads or hydrants further up the line. In light of this, the ATM Tanks commercial dive team undertakes FTA cleaning.

More importantly, our team uses advanced equipment. Because of this, we carry out thorough inspections and cleaning of your tank, and we minimise water loss. One of the various benefits of using divers instead of ROVs when cleaning your fire tank is the ability to get rid of debris and objects.
