Underwater Inspections
Challenge Numerous assets are located underwater, such as dam planks, quay walls, piers, firewater tanks, wastewater basins, piping, retention basins, and much more. Inspecting these assets is either not done or is carried out by divers. Not inspecting them poses risks because developments cannot be documented. Inspections can be dangerous in some cases due to […]
UT wall thickness measurements with a stick
Storage tanks play a crucial role in various industries, ranging from the process industry to tank terminals. They store liquids that can be of invaluable value and are essential for smooth operations. However, to ensure that these tanks continue to operate safely and effectively, we must pay attention to something that is often overlooked: wall […]
Using high resolution cameras for Flare Stack Inspection
Getting the smallest details from a safe distance. Faster, safer and more efficient inspections. The flare is a vital part of the safety system in an oil and gas production facility. Hence it is of utmost importance that flares are working faultlessly. To ensure optimal working conditions, flares are regularly assessed and inspected for defect […]
Total tank solution
THE CHALLENGE Inspecting storage tanks, whether based on regulations or risk assessment, is a complex process that requires various types of inspections. These include internal and external visual inspections, geometric surveys, and calibration according to applicable standards and legal certifications (EEMUA-159, API-653, Vlarem, PGS 29/31). The variety of inspections needs to seamlessly integrate with each […]

Data and its importance
A lot of math for AI and machine learning was invented in the 90s, but it took almost two more decades for AI/ML to become relevant. Can you think of a few reasons why that’s the case? Data and processing power were the primary factors that forestalled the AI’s development. As you may have often […]
Elios 3
Situation Indoor inspections are common in (industrial) asset management. Think of the inspection of all kinds of confined spaces such as tanks, silos, blast furnaces, flue gas ducts, (transport) pipes, sewers, chimneys, reactors, distillation columns, ….) Often these assets are inspected by placing scaffolding, using rope techniques, aerial work platforms, placing man guards and human […]
Wall thickness measurements by drone
In industry, measuring wall thickness is important and in some cases mandatory by law. In many places, however, this is not easy to carry out because of height/safety. Fortunately, drone technology does not stand still! With our latest drone from Voliro, wall and coating thickness measurements can be carried out at any height. 360° […]
