INDUSTRIES WE SERVICE

Industries we service with the Elios 2 drone, has grown exponentially over the last few years. The ability to send a robot into a potentially hazardous environment instead of humans has opened up many new possibilities. Using drones to explore confined spaces ultimately increase safety, reduce downtime and save costs.

The return on investment (ROI) is huge when you take into consideration the costs normally surrounding scaffolding, special equipment or other tools normally required to conduct these visual inspections.

Industries we service range from Oil & Gas, Chemical, Renewable Energy and many more.

“Airtight Aerials works alongside inspectors, engineers and rope access specialists to acquire data that increases safety, reduces downtime and saves costs in the workplace”

OIL & GAS

REFINERIES

Performing the visual inspection of critical production units of petroleum refineries such as Fluid Catalytic Cracking and Cokers.

CHIMNEY / SMOKESTACK

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

OFFSHORE RIGS, FPSOS, AND DRILLING SHIPS

Industries we service include the inside of ballasts and tanks for possible anomalies of the structures on offshore rigs, FPSOs, and drilling ships.

STORAGE TANKS

Looking for cracks and corrosion on rafters, walls, and roof sections of storage tanks during integrity-assessment turnaround, by performing close visual inspection beyond line of sight.

POWER GENERATION

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.

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 and pipes of the combustion chamber during periodical and unplanned shutdowns.

CHEMICALS

FERMENTER TANKS

Increasing the quality of batches by systematically inspecting the shaft and blades of fermenter tanks in an enzyme production facility.

PIPE RACK, CABLES, CONDUITS

Flying between indoor pipe rack, cables, and conduits in a production facility to check the integrity of welding and detect potential leaks.

PRESSURE VESSELS / STORAGE TANKS

Inspecting decommissioned pressure vessels and storage tanks of a chemical facility.

SUCTION DUCTS

Flying inside suction ducts, from bottom to top, inspecting welding and checking for product build up on the walls and at the dust collector.

MINING

OPEN STOPE

Explore restricted areas such as excavated open stopes to support backfilling operations by detecting shadow areas and understanding ground conditions without putting humans at risk.

CONVEYOR BELT

Assessing the integrity of conveyor belts without disturbing their operation and stopping ongoing excavation.

DROP RAISE

Flying tens of meter down a dusty, wet, and rocky drop raise in an underground mine to locate clogging or assess potential for rehabilitation.

SAG, BALL, AND GRINDING MILL

Getting inside of SAG, Ball, and Grinding Mill to assess their integrity and detect clogging without having to stop the entire production line.

STOCKPILE FEEDER

Collecting visuals of feeders by flying through the stockpile hole to assess their integrity and plan for their maintenance without having to put humans at risk.

CRUSHER

Performing preventive maintenance of crushers by having a mean of indoor visual inspection to replace parts before they break and paralyze production.
