- Reduce waste and prevent leakage for improved environmental performance
Performing critical inspections in dangerous environments
Strict environmental health and safety regulations and the high cost and risk of human inspection in confined and hazardous spaces, especially when dealing with aging equipment and facilities, have led operators to look for alternative inspection methods that are both safe and cost-effective. DEKRA robotic inspection of confined spaces utilizes the latest visual, digital and robot technologies to provide time-saving, cost-efficient and safe examination you can rely on to ensure your industrial assets are compliant to international standards and operating at peak performance.
Whether working in confined spaces, in toxic and explosive atmospheres, underground, or at extreme heights, we can examine all aspects of your storage, cargo and LNG tanks, pipelines, pressure vessels and spheres. We look at shells, roofs and welds to identify flaws and detect corrosion. Aimed at keeping inspectors safe, our wide-ranging services include visual testing from the outside, digitalized internal examination using camera, endoscope, crawler and corrosion mapping technologies, as well as robotic inspection.
