Inspecting a vessel is a logistics problem before it is an engineering one. Staging, rope access and confined-space entry are slow, expensive and carry real risk, and the traditional output is a folder of photographs whose location on the vessel is recorded only in the surveyor notes. When the same defect is revisited a year later, nobody can be certain it is the same defect.
Delta Scan captures the vessel instead of photographing it. Drone capture handles the hull sides, topsides, structures and areas that would otherwise need staging, while internal spaces are captured with in-house 360 technology. Every defect is recorded against its position on a 3D reconstruction of the vessel, so the record is navigable, comparable between inspections, and reviewable by people who were never on board. Our showcase engagement is a full integrity audit of an FPSO offshore West Africa, covering the hull, all process modules, the flare structure and the heli deck.
