1. A receiver tank for use with an external computing device and an electrical cable segment, an injection fluid being or having been injected into the electrical cable segment, the receiver tank comprising:
a fluid reservoir in fluid communication with the electrical cable segment, the fluid reservoir being configured to receive the injection fluid from the electrical cable segment;
a communication module configured to communicate with the external computing device;
a controller configured to send messages to the communication module for communication thereby to the external computing device; and
at least one sensor configured to detect that a portion of the injection fluid has been received from the electrical cable segment, encode sensor data in sensor signals, and send the sensor signals to the controller, the controller being configured to automatically instruct the communication module to transmit an alert to the external computing device when the sensor data indicates a predetermined amount of the injection fluid has been received.
