Industrial endoscopy (or borescopy) takes place whenever an operator needs to visually inspect inside an element (tank, pipe, vessel, motor, ….) with no direct vision. It is widely known as Remote Visual Inspection or RVI inspection.
Controls on new pieces: weld, surface finish, edges, cleanliness.
Periodic controls of regulated elements: blades on turboshaft engines, pipes, tanks, machine wears. Looking for cracks, impacts, damages.
Troubleshooting in production environments: leak or blockage detection, mechanical elements wear, pitting corrosion.
Post damage expertise.
FoD prevention with foreign object search and extraction remote visual inspection
Aeronautics: plane and helicopter inspection of turbines, blades, combustion chambers, gear boxes, shafts.
Power Generation: access to parts and areas with nuclear radiation, inspection of steam generator, reactor internals, pressure vessels, boilers. Windmills, gearboxes, blades and structure inspection and controls. Heat exchangers, turbines, industrial boilers.
Pharmacy and Food: stainless steel pipe networks controls, fermentation tanks, sterile areas, reaction vessels, blenders.
Chemicals, Oil & Gas, Refineries: pressure vessels, storage tanks, pipes, process waste lines, reactors, leak and blockage detection, Control of mechanical parts : welds, edges, surface, threads on new parts; wear and foreign object control on running parts.
Construction and engineering structures: post damage expertise, structure controls, pipes, air ventilation ducting, cracks on structures, sprinklers, elevator shafts, fire safety systems.
Drilling: looking for cavities, soil layers analysis.
