In short

For energy, Delta Scan inspects and models power stations, cooling towers, tanks, refineries, and renewable sites. Drone and confined-space capture, thermography, and GIS surveys feed Pr Eng signed condition audits and as-built models for outage planning, retrofits, and integrity, with minimal disruption.

[01] · Sector context

What we see
in the market.

The energy sector is in structural transition. Fossil infrastructure is ageing while renewable capacity is built at pace. Both share one engineering need: accurate digital records of physical assets as the basis for safe operation, maintenance, and eventual decommissioning.

Power stations carry the sector's highest cost of downtime: every day a unit is offline for inspection is millions in lost generation. Confined-space drone and LiDAR capture inspects boilers, ducts, and cooling towers inside short outage windows without scaffolding. Storage tanks and refinery infrastructure are reaching the end of original design life, where accurate as-built records drive shutdown and retrofit decisions.

For renewable developers, site planning and structural audits for solar and wind grow in demand as portfolios mature. Delta Scan covers all of this from our Johannesburg operation: power, storage, processing, and renewable work across Southern Africa.

[02] · Our experience

What we do
in energy.

  • Power station confined-space inspection of boilers, ducts, and cooling towers within outage windows, no scaffolding
  • Storage tank inspection including external structural audit and internal capture through access ports
  • Refinery and process plant as-built capture for shutdown planning and retrofit design
  • Cooling tower condition audits using Omnispect for internal and DJI M350 RTK for external capture
  • Solar farm site planning using fixed-wing UAV for large-area topographic surveys
  • Wind turbine blade and tower inspection using UAV platforms

Where we built
for energy.

Omnispect. omnispect. Our primary energy inspection tool. 360-degree video review for cooling towers, tanks, and confined-space assets.

DeltaCloud. deltacloud. Delivery platform with long-term data integrity for asset records that may outlive the current operator.

[06] · Standards

Compliance
and standards.

Energy engagements conform to:

  • SANS 10160 and SANS 10100 for structural assessments
  • API 653 (storage tank inspection) and relevant process safety standards, for refinery work
  • Outage-window planning and confined-space safety protocols, for power station inspections
