EddyVision: In the last 17 years our ROVS have made a number of interesting discoveries for our clients. This recent one really helped stop a lot of head scratching.
The problem was a treated water Service Reservoir (SR) that was losing 1 million litres a day. That's one Olympic swimming pool of clean drinking water lost every two days. They knew it was happening in the SR somewhere.
Unable to inspect it off-line, they called us in to have a look round with one of our ROVs. They expected a big obvious hole or crack somewhere - but nothing could be seen. Our operator then noticed that the inlet was big enough for the ROV and suggested taking a quick look inside it before ending the job. This is what they then found. Mystery solved and the repair planning is now underway.
Watch this week's short
episode here to see this superb discovery.
