Water quality engineering firm Panton McLeod
Forward-thinking officials at utility giant Scottish Water have continued their commitment to ensure that customers receive the purest supplies at the tap by using a pair of innovative underwater cleaning robots.
Scottish Water has been working together with independent Scottish water quality engineering firm Panton McLeod to use the two machines – which are used to inspect and clean water structures across the UK – in the Clackmannanshire region.
The robots, known as the VR600 and ROV units, are used exclusively by Panton McLeod to inspect and clean underground water storage tanks while they are live and online – meaning that they do not need to be drained and customers experience no disruption to their supplies.
The Borders-based firm already uses the machines when undertaking cleaning and inspection work for some of the biggest water companies in the British Isles, including Severn Trent Water and Northumbrian Water.
