Inspection
Obtain high-value asset inspection data quickly and accurately using drones. Our inspection services can help make smarter decisions for planning, maintenance, and operational safety.
General Visual Inspection
GVI offers a comprehensive approach to asset inspection by combining two powerful data collection methods:
High-Resolution Inspection Photos (RGB)
DJI drones equipped with “Smart Features” enable systematic and precise image capture of operational assets and high-risk infrastructure.
These high-resolution photos are stored in a single, easily accessible data file for efficient inspection review and reporting.
The location of each photo can be easily determined, facilitating structured annotation and maintenance management.
Confined Space Inspection
Our drones can safely and efficiently reach and inspect hard-to-access areas such as tanks, pipes, and other structures.
This inspection helps detect potential damage to assets in confined spaces, and this information is then used to make maintenance decisions, including whether the asset should be repaired, replaced, or left and monitored for a while.
UT (Ultrasonic Transducer)
UT uses high-frequency sound waves to examine material characteristics and measure the dimensions of an object. This versatile method can be used on a wide variety of materials, including metals, plastics, ceramics, and fiberglass. UT is ideal for detecting defects such as cracks, corrosion, and delamination.
UT is an essential part of various certifications and safety protocols, such as:
- ISO 11666:2010 and 2011 for weld testing
- API RP 2I on in-service of mooring hardware
- API 5L relating to line piping
EMAT (Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer)
EMAT uses electromagnetic fields to generate ultrasonic waves, so it does not require direct contact with the material. The advantage of EMAT lies in its wider frequency range, allowing it to detect various types of acoustic emission more effectively.
The EMAT on the Voliro drone operates at a frequency of 3.5-4 MHz, and can be used to scan steel pipes, titanium structures, pressure vessels, and welded joints, minimizing the need for scaffolding and coating removal, saving time and money.
DFT (Dry Film Thickness)
DFT is used to measure the thickness of a coating on a surface. Proper coating thickness is very important to ensure coating performance and durability.
Our DFT solution uses two measurement methods:
- Magnetic Induction: Used to measure coating thickness on ferrous metals (0-1500 micrometers µm)
- Eddy Current: Used to measure coating thickness on non-ferrous metals (0-700 µm)
