INTERNAL TANK INSPECTION AT UK GAS TERMINAL
Sector Oil Gas & Petrochemical
Region Europe
The project, carried out by a two-man team, saw Cyberhawk examine the quality of several pipe support fittings and the entire internal surface of the storage tank. The inside of the asset was fully inspected whilst the team remained on the outside to fly the UAV.
Usually this type of inspection is conducted by rope access technicians, who are suspended on ropes to inspect the internal structure and would need at least a week to complete the work. UASs reduce the requirement for working at height and in confined spaces, which meant Cyberhawk was able to undertake a safe first audit of the structure so that further inspection and maintenance could be prioritised. The project was completed in just one day.
Following the high profile launch of our leading confined space inspection service, Cyberhawk was tasked with a large water storage tank internal inspection by a major oil and gas company in the east of England.
