AquaVis 3D™
AquaVis 3D™ is a pioneering inspection service developed by Mackenzie Construction in partnership with UAV 365. Using cutting-edge underwater ROV technology and high-definition 3D scanning, we deliver unparalleled insight into the condition of live treated water storage tanks without draining or disrupting your network.
Why Choose AquaVis 3D™?
AquaVis 3D is the UK’s first dedicated 3D modelling solution for live treated water assets, setting a new benchmark for innovation in the water sector. Unlike traditional inspection methods that require tanks to be drained and taken offline, AquaVis 3D enables inspections without disrupting operations, ensuring zero downtime and maintaining hygiene compliance throughout. By eliminating confined space entry, the service significantly improves safety and regulatory compliance while reducing operational risk. With nationwide deployment capability, AquaVis 3D offers rapid, flexible support for critical infrastructure, delivering high-resolution 3D models and digital twins that empower proactive asset management and smarter decision-making.
How It Works
AquaVis 3D combines advanced underwater ROV technology with high-definition scanning to capture thousands of images inside live treated water tanks. These images are processed into photorealistic 3D models that provide measurable insights into asset condition. Engineers can use these models to compare changes over time, identify structural wear before it becomes critical, and plan refurbishment with confidence. The ability to create digital twins allows for immersive virtual inspections, enabling utilities to assess assets remotely and build a robust data foundation for long-term maintenance strategies.
Applications
AquaVis 3D is designed to support a wide range of operational needs within the water sector. It enables routine asset monitoring without costly shutdowns, helping utilities track condition changes and maintain compliance with regulatory standards. For refurbishment planning, the service provides detailed visual and data-driven insights that highlight areas of concern early, reducing the risk of unexpected failures. By combining safety, efficiency, and precision, AquaVis 3D ensures that water companies can manage their infrastructure proactively while safeguarding water quality and operational resilience.
“AquaVis 3D is a game-changer for the water sector. For the first time, utilities can carry out advanced 3D inspections on live clean water tanks without compromising hygiene or service continuity. This innovation improves safety, reduces operational downtime, and sets a new benchmark for proactive asset management.”
