How we deliver

Scope & options

Remote visual inspection, confined-space robotics and ultrasonic thickness testing are distinct industrial inspection methods.

UT is a calibrated contact measurement performed by qualified NDT personnel; imagery alone cannot supply wall thickness.

Confined-space work depends on isolation, atmosphere assessment and equipment suitability for the hazard.

Explore 6 service variants

Stack, chimney and flare external inspection

Observe difficult elevated external assets.

Heat, operations and hazardous-area restrictions determine access.

Confined-space drone/robotic inspection

Inspect accessible tank, boiler, silo or vessel interiors.

Atmosphere assessment and isolation are required; non-rated equipment must not enter explosive atmospheres.

Robotic or drone-contact ultrasonic thickness testing

Measure accessible material thickness with a suitable contact probe.

Contact UT is delivered as a calibrated NDT measurement on accessible material; camera imagery alone does not provide wall thickness.

Methane/gas-leak detection and LDAR support

Use gas-specific sensing to locate suspected emissions.

Detection, concentration and emission-rate quantification are separate claims; confirmation may be required.

Industrial infrared thermography

Screen operating equipment for abnormal heat patterns.

Surface temperature patterns need competent interpretation.

Industrial surface/coating inspection and cleaning

Assess coatings or undertake suitable specialist cleaning.

Cleaning is a distinct approved scope; permits, waste controls and materials compatibility apply.

Useful to know

Terms, explained
Remote visual inspection
Camera-based examination of difficult external or internal industrial assets.
Confined-space robotics
Specialist protected platforms used inside tanks, boilers, silos or vessels after site safety controls.
UT
Ultrasonic testing: contact measurement requiring suitable equipment, calibration and qualified personnel.
Can a normal camera measure wall thickness?

Thickness requires a suitable NDT instrument, calibration and contact or other validated measurement method.

Can you fly a drone into an operating tank?

The default scope requires site-specific authorisation before that operation. Isolation, atmosphere assessment and equipment suitability must be authorised by the plant. Ordinary drones are not intrinsically safe.

Does a methane detection report quantify the emission rate?

Only when a validated quantification method is explicitly commissioned. A detection or concentration reading alone does not establish a mass emission rate.

Will remote inspection replace every human inspection?

Coverage, test method and acceptance requirements may still require specialist access, additional NDT or an authorised inspector.

Method & limitations

Match external, confined-space and contact-testing methods to the asset.

Require plant permits, isolation and hazardous-atmosphere assessment.

Use qualified NDT personnel and traceable calibration for measurement-based tests.

Heat, operations and hazardous-area restrictions determine access.

Atmosphere assessment and isolation are required; non-rated equipment must not enter explosive atmospheres.

Contact UT is delivered as a calibrated NDT measurement on accessible material; camera imagery alone does not provide wall thickness.

Detection, concentration and emission-rate quantification are separate claims; confirmation may be required.

Help me ask
  • Is visual evidence enough, or do we need calibrated UT measurements?
  • What isolation and hazardous-area requirements apply?
  • Which parts of the asset will remain inaccessible?
  • Does gas sensing provide detection only or validated quantification?
