RDVI Front End Engineering Design (FEED)

Our RDVI team collaborate with our clients during the FEED and planning phase of a project to define critical assets 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.

A Remote Digital Visual Inspection (RDVI) crawler positioned inside a large industrial pipe. The crawler, equipped with various sensors and a camera, casts a glow on the dark, metallic interior of the pipe, highlighting the worn inner surface and subtle reflections. The crawler is tethered by orange cables that extend beyond the frame.
RDVI in-field inspections
Close-up image of condition monitoring within an industrial setting, showcasing a section of machinery with a grid pattern marked for inspection. Each grid square is labelled with unique identification codes, and the surface exhibits wear and discolouration, indicative of operational use. A camera captures the image during a detailed inspection process.
Conditional monitoring
Close-up image from a remote digital visual inspection (RDVI) showing the interior of a pipeline with hydrocarbon enrichment. The pipeline features densely arranged, parallel grooves with visible signs of residue and colour variations indicative of hydrocarbon presence. The grooves and overall texture are captured in fine detail, highlighting the conditions within the pipeline.
Hydrocarbon enriched atmosphere inspections
Close-up image from a remote digital visual inspection (RDVI) showcasing a metal surface as a baseline for comparison. The texture is characterised by a patchy rust formation and general wear, contrasting with the smoother areas, highlighting the initial condition before further inspection or maintenance.
Baseline, completion, close-up & QA/QC inspections
