Industries / Oil & Gas

Oil and gas: offshore platforms,
rigs, and FPSOs.

Reality capture and engineering inspection for offshore and onshore oil and gas assets: topsides as-built modelling, confined-space tank and ballast inspection, flare and structural survey, and brownfield modification support, under explosive-atmosphere and shutdown-window constraints.

In short

Delta Scan captures and inspects oil and gas assets: offshore topsides, tanks, flares, splash-zone steel, and onshore terminals and pipeline corridors. Survey-grade as-builts, confined-space drone inspection, and integrity assessments support modification, shutdown planning, and class-cycle audits, signed by a Pr Eng where Delta Scan is the engineer of record.

[01] · Sector context

What we see
in the market.

Offshore and onshore oil and gas assets are among the most inspection-intensive structures in industry. Fixed platforms, drilling rigs, and FPSOs operate in corrosive marine environments under continuous load, carrying class-society and regulatory integrity obligations that never stop. A production shutdown costs millions per day, and an undetected structural or corrosion failure costs far more.

Traditional methods (rope-access teams, scaffolding, confined-space man-entry, paper records) are slow, expensive, hazardous, and hard to compare campaign to campaign. Digital capture changes the economics. Collision-tolerant drones inspect ballast tanks, caissons, and under-deck steel without entry. LiDAR builds a survey-grade as-built of congested topsides for modification design. AI-assisted defect detection classifies corrosion and structural findings consistently against the previous inspection.

Delta Scan applies the same capture stack, proprietary tooling, and registered Pr Eng review it brings to mining and power infrastructure, mobilising offshore through our global field-partner network. The output is an engineering record an operator, duty-holder, or class surveyor can act on, not a folder of photographs.

[02] · Our experience

What we do
in oil & gas.

  • Topsides as-built capture and scan-to-BIM of congested process modules for brownfield modification, tie-in design, and weight and centre-of-gravity control
  • Confined-space tank, caisson, and ballast inspection using the collision-tolerant Flyability ELIOS 3: GPS-denied, no staging, no man-entry permit
  • Flare boom, derrick, and structural-steel survey by UAV, without shutdown or rope-access mobilisation
  • Corrosion and coating-breakdown mapping from thermal and high-resolution imagery, classified against prior campaigns
  • Jetty, riser, and splash-zone structural documentation for integrity management and life-extension assessment
  • Turnaround and shutdown digital twins delivered through DeltaCloud, so every discipline plans against one record
[04] · Custom tools in this sector

Where we built
for oil & gas.

Omnispect. omnispect. Structured 360-degree video review for confined-space and linear oil and gas assets: tanks, caissons, flues, and under-deck inspection.

DeltaCloud. deltacloud. Delivery and lifecycle spine for integrity records that must survive operator handovers and class-cycle audits, with full version history.

[06] · Standards

Compliance
and standards.

Oil and gas engagements are delivered with reference to:

  • API 510 (pressure vessels), API 570 (piping), and API 653 (storage tanks) for integrity inspection
  • DNV and class-society structural assessment requirements for offshore and floating assets
  • Explosive-atmosphere (ATEX / IECEx) zoning and confined-space safety protocols for capture in hazardous areas
  • SANS 10160 and SANS 10100 for onshore structural and concrete assessment

When Delta Scan is the engineer of record, every structural and integrity deliverable is reviewed and signed by a registered Pr Eng. For operators and engineering firms that hold their own authority, we deliver the calibrated capture and tooling underneath their certification.
