Increase Workers’ Safety
Keep your workforce out of harms’ way by performing remote visual inspections, avoiding entry in confined spaces, or saving doses exposition.

Reduce Inspection Costs
Perform faster inspection, avoid installing scaffolding or rope access, and involve fewer people during the inspection process.

Assets to Inspect With Indoor Drones

COAL-FIRED BOILERS

Assessing the integrity of burners, refractory, and superheater piping inside the combustion chamber and detect cloggings, wears, and tears inside air pre-heaters.

NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

Controlling for suspected leakage and assessing the integrity of equipments in radioactive parts or nuclear plants without having to expose humans to radiations.

HEAT RECOVERY STEAM GENERATOR

Assessing the integrity of supporting pins, burners, and lancers inside an HRSG during the power outage of a combined cycle plant.

WASTE INCINERATOR

Visually inspecting refractory, burners, tubes an pipes of the combustion chamber during periodical and unplanned shutdowns.

WIND TURBINES

Inspecting inside the blades of wind turbines during planned shutdowns and inside the pillar and basement of the turbine while operating.

HYDRO POWER PLANT

Gathering visuals to check for the integrity of various confined spaces of a dam such as surge tanks, water canals, penstock, and flood gates.

PULP AND PAPER MILL RECOVERY BOILER

Visually inspecting refractory, burners, tubes an pipes of the combustion chamber or recorvery boilers during periodical and unplanned shutdowns.

TRANSFORMERS

Collecting information, such as liquid levels or leaks, at the top of high-voltage underground transformers to assess their proper functioning.

ASSET COMMISSIONING

Performing prior-to-commissioning inspections of coal-fired boilers to certify the proper execution of the work done by a plant constructor.

CHIMNEY / SMOKESTACK

Performing a General Visual Inspection to detect cracks and anomalies on the inside of a sky-high chimney within a power plant.
