Smarter Inspections for Critical Energy Infrastructure
From ultrasonic testing at height to subsurface pipeline mapping, we deliver high-precision aerial intelligence that keeps oil and gas operations running safer, longer, and leaner.

Advanced Aerial NDT for High-Stakes Environments

NDTDS leverages drone-based nondestructive testing and thermal imaging to inspect pipelines, tanks, stacks, and structure — without shutdowns or climbing crews. Our solutions support upstream, midstream, and downstream operations with safer, faster, and more cost-effective results.

Specialized Drone Services for the Energy Sector

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) at Height

Contact-based inspections on hot surfaces, up to 260 °C

Depth−of−Cover (DOC) Pipeline Scanning

Drone-mounted magnetometers map buried assets and detect soil loss

Infrared Imaging (IR) 

In-service thermal assessments of tanks, flares, and insulated systems

PEC, EMAT, DFT, and More

Advanced testing without scaffolding or shutdowns

In-Service, Elevated Inspections

UT drone missions provide surface integrity data without shutdowns. Reduce scaffold use and inspect at height — hot or live.

Corrosion Under Insulation (PEC)

Detect early-stage corrosion without removing insulation or cladding. PEC sees through up to 100mm of barrier material.

Contactless Thickness (EMAT)

EMAT scans detect wall thinning and cracking under paint or scale — no prep or couplant required.

Coating Thickness Verification (DFT)

DFT scanning confirms dry film coverage on tanks and stacks with pinpoint accuracy, minimizing rework.

DOC Pipeline Mapping

Trace buried steel pipelines and measure cover depth-complement ILI data and reduce dig risk with aerial magnetometer scans.

Thermal Inspections (IR)

Detect flare issues, insulation gaps, or structural warping with in-service IR. Our radiometric cameras capture actionable delta-T data.

Geohazard Monitoring

Magnetic anomaly detection flags terrain shifts and bending strain before failure-supporting proactive pipeline safety.

Compliance. Confidence. Continuous Operation.

From flare tips to right-of-way pipelines, our drone services help oil and gas teams meet regulatory demands, minimize risk exposure, and reduce unplanned downtime — while increasing data quality and decision-making speed.
