Safety in the workplace is a paramount concern, especially in industrial settings where environments can be dangerous and unpredictable. From chemical plants to oil rigs and construction sites, workers are exposed daily to physical hazards, potential accidents and human error. The complexity of certain manual tasks can accentuate the dangers, particularly when operations have to be carried out at height, in contaminated areas or in confined spaces.
Confined-space inspections are essential operations for ensuring the safety and maintenance of infrastructures such as pipelines, reservoirs, sewers and tunnels. However, these environments are often difficult to access, dangerous for human operators, and pose specific challenges in terms of safety, efficiency and visibility. Thanks to technological advances, inspection robots like Multinnov's Roview2 and Stereo2 offer effective solutions to overcome these challenges. This article highlights the five main obstacles encountered when inspecting in confined spaces, and how these robots help solve them.
Drones have become essential for inspections, particularly in confined environments where human access is difficult or even dangerous. Whether inspecting industrial infrastructure, pipelines or confined spaces, these devices can improve safety and efficiency. However, with so many different types of drone available, it's not always easy to choose the best solution.
Confined environment inspections represent a major challenge in sectors such as industry, construction and infrastructure. These environments include ducts, tanks, tunnels and sewer systems, which are often difficult to access or dangerous. The risks associated with darkness, poor air quality and confined spaces make these inspections particularly complex for human operators. Indeed, some areas require specific equipment, such as additional lighting systems or protection against noxious gases, increasing the risks to human safety.
The popularity of drones has exploded in recent years, making them indispensable tools in many fields. From leisure drones to professional drones, they are now ubiquitous.
An oil site needs to be thoroughly inspected, but finding the right tools and partners to do the job is complicated.Multinnov also offers innovative solutions for oil and gas environments, perfectly suited to this type of inspection.
In the complex field of oil and gas inspection, safety, precision and efficiency are paramount. At Multinnov, we understand what's at stake.
Flying in confined spaces is often slightly more complex than flying outside. Although Multinnov tends to make indoor inspections as easy as possible, every pilot will face these 3 mains threats at some point...
