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.
Inspection robots are essential tools in modern engineering. These automated or remote-controlled devices can be used to inspect hard-to-reach areas such as pipelines, tanks or industrial structures. Their role is to collect visual and technical information to diagnose the condition of an infrastructure without exposing technicians to danger.
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.
The inspection of pipes and other underground infrastructures is essential for the maintenance of wastewater, sewer and distribution systems. Two professional technologies stand out in this field: the CCTV crawler and the Roview 2. While both devices have their advantages, the Rover has several significant strengths that make it a superior choice for many applications.
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.
