Non-destructive testing (NDT) is often used as a general term to refer to non-destructive inspection methods to ensure that critical infrastructure is properly maintained in order to avoid catastrophic accidents.

NDT techniques can be used for all kinds of inspections, even for critical assets like boilers and pressure vessels, which could be incredibly dangerous if not properly maintained

In the last several years RUAS has enjoyed being on the forefront of using various drones and data capture methodology as an effective progressive tool in NDT for collecting visual data, allowing us to provide inexpensive and effective solutions for our clients.

As drone technology has improved, so has the quality gathered from such inspections, no longer needing to put those such as confined area workers and rope access inspectors in hazardous situations that can now be successfully undertaken with unmanned technology.

With our software, we can process aerial data to provide accurate measurements, leading to the capture of better data and a more thorough historic record of the life of an asset.

Increasing inspections can help increase the longevity of a company’s assets by revealing defects earlier in the maintenance cycle, and fixing them before they grow worse.

With RUAS’ range of aircraft our clients can take advantage of modern drone technology and capture a visual record of an inspection in the form of a highly defined video and images from each and every flight, building an archive of data for later referral that can be distributed internally.
