Equipment
With tube inspection being one of the business focuses, Innospection has a large inventory of tube inspection equipment, probes and calibration tubes to ensure a short response and mobilisation time.
The advanced and comprehensive reporting software provides not only a precise and accurate condition overview of the tubes but also real time results for the individual tubes while the inspection is in progress. Accurate client-defined plugging plans are also generated.
Niche tube inspection challenges are supported by the in-house R&D team for the development and production of dedicated inspection equipment such as specific probes and manipulator.
