Conrady Consultant Services And Utility Service Company Have Joined Forces

 To Bring You The Very Best In Water Tank Inspection Services

The owners of Conrady Consultant Services personally inspected more than 3,000 tanks from 1982 to 2008.  Since 2004 the company has specialized in ROV tank inspections.   In February of 2008, Conrady Consultant Services was acquired by Utility Service Company whereby John and Linda Conrady will set up, train, and manage an ROV inspection division of Utility Service Company.

Our Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Water Tank Inspections:

Our ROV is about 11" wide, 10" high, and 23" long, and weighs less than 30 pounds, which is easy to lift to the tank roof.

Since our ROV control setup can be very portable, we inspect tanks on top of hills and far back inside facilities where a vehicle can not reach.

The advantage of our ROV inspections is that you do not have the inconvenience and expense of taking your tank completely out of service for several days for draining, inspection, filling, and waiting for negative bacteriological results to place it back into service.  Our ROV inspection offers many advantages over an underwater diver or drained inspection.

Our ROV inspections do not require the OSHA Confined Entry requirements of a drained or diver inspection.  You do not have to lockout/tagout your tank for our ROV inspection as you are required to do for a diver inspection.  Since our ROV swims throughout the tank interior, observes the upper sidewalls and roof interior from only a few feet away, easily moves the bottom silt to observe the floor condition, and that the paint adhesion bubbling and failure are very obvious,  we believe our ROV achieves a better and more thorough inspection than any other inspection method.

This is the inlet pipe at the bottom of an elevated tank riser pipe.  Please note the water depth of 159' which is too deep for a diver but is no problem for our ROV	Note the clarity of our ROV video feed and digitized photos.

Our ROV is absolutely perfect for floating cover and lined reservoirs which is hazardous for divers.	Our ROV uses food coloring to detect leaks in concrete and bolted steel tanks.	Our ROV easily moves the silt  aside to thoroughly inspect tank bottoms.

Our ROV easily retrieved this bracket from a tank.	Our ROV has a wire brush to remove corrosion nodules to determine the depth into metal.	Our ROV easily measures the silt depth.  Note the data screen from the ROV.
