Vertech applies Advanced-RDVI as an integrated solution focusing on pre-planning and specialist execution packages to deliver high levels of data & results that can not only be used for pressure equipment sign-off but also for post-inspection analysis, risk reviews and process operational requirements.
The Vertech Advanced-RDVI team has over 60 years of RDVI experience, gathered from various industries, including Oil, Gas, Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical, Dairy, and Power Generation, worldwide.
This ensures our clients have the right people, systems, equipment and support to meet all their remote inspection needs.
Our complete remote visual inspection services ensure our client’s inspections are completed with the highest level of integrity and are repeatable for future comparative purposes. Vertech technicians bring a wealth of experience to the table that helps get first-class results efficiently without compromising data reliability.
Systematic Inspection Procedures
RDVI technicians are trained in systematic inspection procedures to enable higher levels of coverage, record, secure and prepare data in a logical format for communication, and perform the post-inspection review processes correctly.
Degradation Identification
Our team has been trained in degradation identification and detection utilising 2D imagery. This is important as technicians must know what they are looking at to capture all relevant data.
Tooling Identification Competency
Vertech technicians are trained across a range of digital camera systems, so they know what camera is required & why, how to set it up correctly and what specific lenses need to be applied to get the best results.
Tooling Application Competency
Our team is trained in using and applying specialist support tooling that we design and build to ensure cameras are placed in the right focal ranges, giving the clearest view of possible degradation.
Process Optimisation Training
Vertech RDVI technicians are trained in the process and operational aspects to ensure they can detect and highlight indications of process reliability, helping your operational team run your facility at the highest efficiency.
Safety Training
Our team is trained to safely use, operate and get equipment into high-level work environments without causing sim-ops conflicts, incidents and accidents.
Vertech’s Facility Review & Planning service provides clients with focused campaign planning for the internal inspection requirements of pressure equipment. Our processes ensure that the correct inspection equipment, support tooling and techniques are applied promptly and efficiently.
We have taken full advantage of our team’s extensive campaign & project experience to create a specialised array of procedures and methods to help reduce execution windows, bringing assets back online faster.
Vertech’s Campaign Execution Team provides complete end-to-end assistance with campaigns, projects, and turnarounds. Our RDVI technicians have a wide variety of inspection experience and are specifically trained across the full suite of RDVI technologies, allowing them to assess each situation and apply the correct tooling on a case-by-case basis.
What sets Vertech’s RDVI Team apart is that our experts understand the needs of various stakeholder groups, from onsite personnel to upper management. Our team works with each group every step of the way to help them understand and interpret the relevant data, results, and information.
Vertech group has led the charge and invested heavily in reducing and eventually removing manned inspections through advanced robotics such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Remote Digital Video Inspection (RDVI), robotic crawlers, and mini-ROVs.
Vertech is a civil aviation safety authority (CASA), holds class accreditation with the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS), and is a recognised member of the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for “Remote Inspection Techniques: UAV Inspection.”
When combined with our hull tank surveyors or our multi-disciplined AICIP or API inspectors, our pilots can complete safe and cost-effective inspections of structures, process piping, and pressure vessels without the need for higher-risk alternatives such as rope access or scaffolding. Through our group Company AUAV, we can offer powerful digital twins of each asset inspected through the INSITE™ UAV & Drone 3D Spatial Inspection data platform.
Our RDVI team collaborates with our clients during the FEED and planning phase of a project to define critical asset areas where RDVI can be applied, what will be required to access these areas, and the likely degradation mechanism.
RDVI integration in the Pre-FEED and FEED stages of the project maximises RDVI capabilities and results in the most significant savings, exceptional inspection coverage, a reduction in turnaround timeframes and fewer resource requirements. This process also dramatically reduces the possibility of substantial changes being required during the execution phase.
