INTERNAL CHIMNEY INSPECTION FOR OIL AND GAS SUPERMAJOR
Sector Oil Gas & Petrochemical
Region Europe
In early 2016, Cyberhawk completed the first-ever UAV internal industrial chimney inspection for one of the world’s largest oil and gas supermajors. Carried out at one of Europe’s largest and most complex refineries, the project saw Cyberhawk utilize a drone to capture high definition images of the stack’s full external surface at a height of 100m, before creating a three dimensional model of the chimney.
Traditionally, internal chimney inspections require personnel to climb inside dangerous and potential chemically hazardous areas. Inspecting the chimney stack with Cyberhawk’s UAVs allowed for a quick and safe audit of the chimney, and meant that personnel were not required to physically enter the chimney to complete the inspection.
The team’s experience of working within confined spaces saw Cyberhawk emerge as the preferred provider for this complex workscope.
