Traditional cleaning processes meant that
water towers and drinking-water reservoirs had to be emptied
and manually cleaned or divers sent down. In both options,
the reservoir has to be taken offline, which can lead to major
disruptions in the main supply system.
Emptying a reservoir is time consu-ming and
cleaning is labor intensive. Sending divers down in drinking
water also entails a risk for contaminating the water.
When we developed the VR-600 our ambition
was to design a vehicle that could clean effectively without
having to shut down the reservoir and without sending personnel
down into the reservoir.
The VR-600 is remote controlled and equipped
with rotating brushes and a powerful pump that directly pumps
out all loosened sediment – without raising turbidity
in the reservoir.
The VR-600 is equipped with a video camera
that facilitates inspection of the inside of the reservoir.
The entire cleaning process is documented and the customer
receives both a videota-pe and a written report.
