How it works

Robots used

  • Pipe Crawler

Ways to buy it

  • Service — you pay for the outcome (one inspection, one show, X acres).
  • Rental — the machine for days or weeks.
  • Purchase Buy the robot (plus software and service plans, usually).

Bot or Not?

A robot makes sense when…

  • The job is high, dangerous, or hard to reach
  • It is huge or repetitive (acres, nights, square metres)
  • You need data you will compare over time
  • You need eyes on it right now

Hire a human when…

  • It is small, low and one-off
  • It needs hands, judgement or a repair
  • Weather, permits or timing make robots awkward
  • Nobody has defined the job yet

Here's the catch for this job

  • Robotic inspection can avoid shutdowns or confined-space entry — ask what it saves you.
  • Specify the reporting standard your insurer or regulator accepts.
  • Ask whether data is reviewed by a certified inspector.

What to specify and ask

Put these in your request and you'll get a real price instead of "it depends":

  1. Pipe diameter, material and length
  2. Reporting standard (e.g. NASSCO PACP, EN 13508)
  3. Asset type and dimensions
  4. Location and access
  5. Inspection standard required (e.g., API, ASME)
  6. Deliverables (video, thickness data, report)
  7. Confined space / hazardous area classification
  8. Shutdown window
  9. Urgency

Rules and regulation

Confined-space and hazardous-area rules (OSHA 1910.146, ATEX/IECEx) may apply; inspections for compliance often require certified inspectors (API, NACE/AMPP, ASNT) to sign off.

General information, not legal advice. Rules change; ask the operator which permits they hold and verify them.
