PROJECT TOPICConstruction, Infrastructure & Maintenance
Water Tank Inspection Submersible
An underwater municipal infrastructure concept studying food-grade sealed housings, acoustic imaging sonar, and sediment thickness gauges to inspect municipal water tanks without draining millions of liters.
Potable Water Reservoir Conservation
- ✓Inspects municipal reservoirs while fully operational without dumping treated drinking water.
- ✓Manufactured with NSF-certified food-grade materials to prevent any biological contamination.
- ✓Navigates dark underwater environments using high-resolution acoustic imaging sonar.
The Engineering Challenge
Problem / Objective
Draining municipal water storage tanks for periodic structural inspection wastes millions of liters of treated water and disrupts city supply.
