INDOOR WATER SIMULATION TANKS

  • Empty Fathom Tanks simulation tank with yellow safety railings, a metal platform, staircase, and high ceiling with fluorescent lighting.

    WATER SIMULATION TANKS

    Tanks are 6ft deep, above ground, made of bolted panels. Control water depth, current, and flow. All tanks have 4ft walkways, 16ft deep work platforms.

  • Astronaut simulation, astronaut wearing in a space suit floating in simulated space near a spacecraft, in a Fathom Tanks water simulation tank.

    DIVE SIMULATION TANKS

    Dive towers are installed either open to the air or fully-enclosed. Interior spaces are blacked-out and have platforms at multiple levels.

  • Large white storage tank next to a building, with tools and equipment on the ground nearby.

    WATER STORAGE TOWERS

    Water can be moved from your main tank to the storage tank for quick-fill simulations such as a sinking ship or fast-rising flood waters.

WE’VE GOT YOUR SIX.

ALL SIMULATION TANKS HAVE A DEPTH OF 1 FATHOM (6 FEET).

STANDARD EQUIPMENT

  • 8-10 large water pumps powered by WEG motors move a massive amount water throughout the tank.

  • Tanks are filtered of contaminants on a continuous, daily basis. Dual systems provide redundancy should one system go down or need cleaning.

  • Water can be either chlorinated or brominated, but salt is not allowed due to the metal structure. Dual systems provide redundancy should one system go down or need cleaning.

  • Large bodies of water need to be heated with gas heaters; electric heaters are inefficient at warming at this scale. Dual propane / gas heaters keep the water comfortable all year round.

  • Installations come with a a 3T Harrington crane to lift training props and test projects into our tanks.

  • There is a grid of D-rings across the bottom of our tanks to allow for tying training props straight downward, illuminating horizontal trip hazards.

  • Tanks are surrounded on three sides with a 4ft walking platform to get from one end to the other. The primary end of the tank has a 16ft deep working platform as wide as the tank.

  • Rain makers, lightning generators, thunder speakers, police lights and sirens. There’s even a simulated helicopter with spotlight and rescue cascade basket that drops down at the rescue site.
