Overview
AQS Environmental Solutions delivers specialist remote inspection and robotic cleaning services in Ireland for water, wastewater, and industrial assets.
Using advanced ROV (remotely operated vehicle) systems and UAV (drone) technology, we provide high-resolution inspection data and non-invasive cleaning solutions—reducing the need for confined space entry and minimising operational disruption.
Our services support utilities, local authorities, industrial facilities, and contractors with safe, compliant, and cost-effective asset inspection and maintenance programmes.
Why Choose AQS Environmental Solutions?
- Nationwide remote inspection and robotic cleaning services in Ireland
- Expertise across water, wastewater, and industrial sectors
- Advanced ROV and drone inspection technology
- Fully compliant with Irish environmental and safety regulations
- Focus on safety, efficiency, and operational continuity
We provide professional ROV inspections in Ireland for a wide range of assets, including:
- Potable water reservoirs and service tanks
- Wastewater tanks, storm tanks, and balance tanks
- Industrial vessels, chambers, and sumps
- Tunnels, culverts, and confined access structures
Our ROV systems deliver live video, HD imagery, and measurement data, enabling:
- Detailed condition assessments and defect identification
- Maintenance planning and asset lifecycle management
- Verification of cleaning and rehabilitation works
This non-entry approach significantly reduces confined space risk while maintaining asset availability.
AQS provides robotic tank cleaning services in Ireland, enabling the removal of sediment, sludge, and debris without draining or taking assets offline.
This approach offers:
- Reduced downtime and operational disruption
- Improved water quality and compliance
- Lower cost compared to traditional drain-down cleaning
- Minimal structural stress on tanks and reservoirs
Robotic cleaning is particularly effective for potable water storage, wastewater infrastructure, and industrial process systems.
Roof, Structural & Asset Surveys
Our UAV drone inspection services provide rapid and detailed condition assessments of:
- Tank roofs and external infrastructure
- Elevated structures and pipework systems
- Access platforms, ladders, and safety-critical areas
Drone surveys eliminate or reduce the need for scaffolding, MEWPs, and rope access, improving safety while reducing project costs and timelines.
Pre-Entry Confined Space Inspection
We carry out remote pre-entry inspections using ROV and drone technology to support safe and efficient project execution.
This includes:
- Internal layout and obstruction assessment
- Sediment and debris level evaluation
- Verification of site conditions against expected data
- Hazard identification for confined space entry teams
- Development and refinement of method statements and rescue plans
This proactive approach reduces risk, improves planning accuracy, and enhances overall project safety.
Our remote inspection capabilities utilise industry-leading technologies, including:
- Submersible ROV systems for internal tank inspections
- Confined space drones for inaccessible environments
- High-definition video and still image capture
- Measurement and condition assessment tools
These solutions enable inspection of submerged, hazardous, and live assets without the need for shutdown or entry.
- Reduced or eliminated confined space entry
- Assets remain operational during inspection and cleaning
- Lower project costs and reduced downtime
- Improved safety and regulatory compliance
- High-quality visual data for reporting and asset management
- Reduced environmental and structural impact
Inspection Reporting & Asset Data
All remote inspection and robotic cleaning projects are supported by clear, structured reporting, including:
- High-resolution imagery and video outputs
- Condition assessments and defect identification
- Actionable recommendations for maintenance and repair
- Data to support compliance, planning, and asset management
