In-Service Robotic Tank Cleaning & Inspection
No Draining. No Entry.
Just Clean.
We eliminate confined space risk in water tank maintenance — powered by one of the most experienced robotic operations teams in the United States.
Eliminate six-figure risk events before they happen.
Water infrastructure operators are under increasing pressure to maintain system reliability, meet regulatory standards, and protect public health — all while managing aging assets and tightening budgets.
At the center of that challenge is a process that has remained largely unchanged for decades: tank cleaning.
Until now.
WHAT WE DO
Xtract Robotics delivers in-service cleaning and inspection of critical water infrastructure using advanced robotic systems.
- Tanks remain fully operational
- Sediment removed in real time
- Inspection performed simultaneously
- No disruption to service
Xtract Robotics provides in-service cleaning and inspection of critical water infrastructure using advanced robotic systems designed specifically for complex, high-risk environments.
Unlike traditional methods that require draining tanks and sending workers into confined spaces, our approach allows tanks to remain fully operational throughout the entire process. Sediment is removed in real time while inspection is performed simultaneously, giving operators immediate visibility into tank conditions.
This approach not only improves operational efficiency — it fundamentally changes the risk profile of tank maintenance.
INDUSTRY SHIFT
The Industry Is Moving Beyond Tank Entry
For decades, tank cleaning has relied on confined space entry, diver-based operations, and manual cleaning processes. These methods introduce a range of known risks, from oxygen-deficient environments and limited visibility to fall hazards and equipment failure in hazardous conditions.
These are not hypothetical concerns. They are documented, recurring issues that carry significant financial, operational, and regulatory consequences.
A single confined space incident can result in six-figure losses (do we need sourcing?) before factoring in liability, downtime, or public health impact. For municipalities and utilities, the exposure extends beyond immediate cost — it affects compliance, reputation, and long-term system reliability.
As infrastructure demands evolve, the industry is beginning to shift away from methods that require human exposure to these environments.
The conversation is no longer about making tank entry safer.
It is about eliminating the need for entry altogether.
Xtract Robotics represents that shift.
- Oxygen-deficient environments
- Zero visibility conditions
- Fall hazards and vertical entry risk
- Equipment dependency in hazardous spaces
A single confined space incident can exceed six-figure losses — before factoring in liability, downtime, and public risk.
Xtract Robotics removes human entry from the equation — eliminating risk at its source.
Precision Cleaning. Visible Results.
Our systems remove sediment while leaving a clearly defined, clean surface behind — delivering consistent, verifiable results in real time.

PROOF
Designed for Compliance. Built for Safety.
In potable water systems and other sensitive environments, cleaning is not just about removing sediment — it is about maintaining system integrity and preventing contamination.
Xtract Robotics operates under strict protocols designed to eliminate cross-contamination risk at every stage of deployment. Equipment is dedicated by application type, ensuring that potable water systems are never exposed to materials used in industrial environments.
This level of control is essential for utilities that cannot afford uncertainty.
- No cross-use between incompatible environments
- Dedicated systems by application type
- Full disinfection procedures between deployments
