Storage Tank UT Inspection
Equipped with a UT gauge to measure the thickness of a wall made from metal. The solution can also be used to measure the thickness of boiler tubes, as long as the tubes are made of steel/ aluminum. The drone is also equipped with a sand blasting mechanism which can blast the coating & painting, so there is no need for a deep cleaning prior to the inspection.
Confined Space Inspection
Using drone, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for indoor use, moreover in a confined and complex space could sound like a stretch, as most well-known use cases for drones feature wide open spaces that require coverage of large areas such as fields for agriculture or power line inspection.
However, UAVs have a serious advantage over other mobile robotics: their versatility. Their mobility in three dimensions allows to access virtually any place, from any angle, regardless of the shape, material and geometry of the environment.
Pipeline Real Time Surveillance
Monitoring means the drone will provide a live stream so the operators can act accordingly. Different with the powerline modeling where a post-processing procedure needs to be exercised to obtain a specific output, powerline monitoring will provide the picture real-time but with no analysis.
Underdeck Inspection
Inspection of underdecks is often a complex job. Using a drone, however, brings even more efficiency to the inspection process. This underdeck inspection was completed within just one day, representing a dramatic time and cost-saving. The drone pilot is also able to obtain standoff shots of the underdeck, an angle that would not be obtainable from these alternative inspection techniques.
Flare Stack Inspection
The drone can be equipped with a zoom camera. Using this camera, drones can capture high-quality images of vertical structures. Not only images, drones can also capture videos to understand the movement & performance of the system in real time. Video can be used to capture a very clear image of any object in focus.
