Long range inspection

OMS inspection systems allow critical sections such as stalk tie-ins and spool pieces to be inspected at distances up to 1km, thus improving safety, maximising asset lifetime and reducing costs. Our technology pushes the boundaries of what is possible in pipe inspection.

Reach welds in the most difficult and fatigue-sensitive locations

Our crawlers can reach the most difficult locations, successfully navigating around complex systems involving multiple bends and elbows, to reach critical pipe sections such as spool pieces, steel catenary risers and stalk tie-ins in small or large diameter pipes. Able to travel 1km from an entry point, OMS innovations in crawler technology are constantly pushing the bounds of possibility in pipe inspection. If you have critical pipe sections requiring inspection our team are always available to help. Contact us here.

Maximise asset lifetime

Inspecting these hard-to-reach welds helps clients to ensure that pipelines are in optimum condition and have the best possible chance of operating safely and effectively for many years.

Increase efficiency and automation

OMS inspection technology operates rapidly and reliably even in harsh energy environments, helping to increase productivity. Successful pipeline inspection and installation can be carried out more quickly without compromising safety. Our system can be integrated with clients’ existing technology to increase automation across production and improve efficiency.

Improve safety, reduce risk and save money

The OMS robotic inspection system greatly reduces the need for dangerous man entry into pipes. Its comprehensive assessments of pipe interiors and welds provide vital information that lessens the chance of operational failure, with its resulting safety issues and costs, and of any environmental damage.

Identify and quantify more defects

OMS inspection systems are equipped with powerful LED lighting, ultra HD cameras and state-of-the-art lasers to identify and quantify defects. Our technology provides clients with the means to locate and quantify a larger range of defects than ever before, providing comprehensive, accurate information on the condition of welds, pipe integrity, coating condition, geometry and more.

Modular design and simultaneous repair

The AUGA.node is a modular system that can be adapted for a clients’ particular needs. Our new SmartGrind™ system can be added as a module to allow simultaneous defect repair and the system can be integrated with third party technology. Find out more about SmartGrind™ here.

Robust, reliable and easy to operate technology

OMS crawlers are robust and reliable, designed specifically to handle the harsh environments of the energy industry. They are easily operated with a games console controller and are powered either with an onboard battery pack or an umbilical power line.
