Potable Water Tank Cleaning
An annual maintenance task here at Casey is to clean out one of the three potable water tanks within the tankhouse on a rotating roster each year. This year I was asked to help out the plumbers as i am able to use the breathing apparatus that is required. The job is a very large undertaking. Basically the tank is covered in a rusty scaling that needs to be blasted off with the high pressure hose and then when you get to the bottom it needs to be vacuumed out. The job took myself and Brendan 2 full days including set up and pack away. Although it was a lot of work, it was pretty fun because it is not the normal day to day jobs that i am used to!
