Target Applications
UAV Drone inspections are perfect for remote visual inspections of hard to access places such as external cargo/tanker ship hulls, FPSO’s and other floating facilities.
UAV drone inspections can be performed while the facility is fully functioning and in-service saving on shutdown and transportation costs of returning assets to port. A visual inspection of a vessel hull, for example, can be performed prior to a refurbishment campaign to assess and plan the extent of areas that require further works. This can save huge cost and risk exposure as refurbishment crews know exactly where works are to be performed as well as tooling and equipment required.
Applus+ UAV drones can provide a varied level of inspection detail based on the client’s requirements from general visual inspections to more detailed work, including; infrared, high definition video, photogamatry and lidar solutions.
Experience
Applus+ UAV Drones have completed a large number of in-service floating vessel inspections offshore for a number of different clients. The collection of 10 years of UAV Drone operations with an exemplary safety record, with the world-class experience of Applus+ inspectors, allows us to provide facility and asset owners the insights they require into the conditions of their assets.
