Remote Visual Inspection

As with all pipelines, these service lines need to be inspected to determine whether a leak is currently happening or is likely to occur shortly. This has recently become a larger concern given the age of some service lines. Many older service lines were made of cast iron, and they can crack and corrode, resulting in leaks.

Leaks can have damaging consequences. Therefore, the service lines must be regularly inspected using non-destructive testing (NDT) or remote visual inspection (RVI) methods to help ensure continuing safety. Video endoscope technologies allow an inspector to see whether cracks exist on the inside of these service lines. A hairline crack is all that is needed to cause a leak, making image quality a critical factor in a visual inspection. The higher resolution the image is, the easier and quicker it is to recognise a crack’s presence reliably.

Our equipment delivers a high-resolution image, a bright light source, high-quality optics, the latest imaging sensor technology and effective image reproduction. This capability with the wealth of knowledge and highly qualified INDEi technicians meets the clients’ needs time after time, working closely with them to ensure a reliable, quality compliant and cost-efficient method of testing.

All employees understand that it is possible to ensure that inquiries are dealt with promptly through dedication and determination. Anyone looking for an answer to a technical question receives an immediate response.

The company presently operates over several continents including Europe, Asia and North America and the hope that this will continue to expand in years to come.
