INDOOR WATER SIMULATION

PATENTED TECHNOLOGY

Fathom Tanks developed and patented a revolutionary indoor water simulation system designed to transform how people learn, train, and prepare for real-world aquatic environments. By recreating realistic moving-water conditions in a controlled indoor setting, the company’s technology enables safer, more accessible, and highly customizable training experiences for education, emergency response, marine operations, and specialized workforce development. Fathom Tanks’ innovative approach reduces the logistical and environmental challenges of traditional open-water training while delivering repeatable, data-driven instruction that improves performance, confidence, and safety outcomes.

WE’VE GOT YOUR SIX.

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.
