Thanks to their small dimensions, Subsea Tech's mini-ROV can enter confined areas and provide the operator with high resolution real-time video. Subsea Tech successfully deployed the AspiROV to carry out in very short time the inspection and cleaning of 2 firefighting water tanks on the Toulouse Airbus site.  Objectives Inspection and control of covering beams Inspection of connections and other accessories on the tank walls Inspection of tank bottom, suction pipes, sump and anti-vortex plate Tank bottom cleaning (suction) Used equipment AspirovAspiROV
