Open tank inspection without roof access Case study Reducing risks with the UT_Pole How a 16 m instrumented pole replaces rope access technicians, divides intervention time by 4 and improves data traceability — feedback from a field operation. 5 min read ROBOPLANET Team A well-known constraint for inspection companies The inspection of open storage tanks […]
In-service water tank inspection Fire water tanks remain among the least inspected pieces of equipment on industrial sites. Yet their failure directly compromises safety and operational continuity. Our in-service inspection methodology makes it possible to characterize the condition of tank bottoms without draining and without interrupting the fire protection function. A critical blind spot in
ACFM Inspection of Storage Tank Welds Storage tanks are critical industrial assets. Their periodic inspection is intended to ensure mechanical integrity, personnel safety, and the prevention of environmental risks. Within this framework, weld inspection is a key step in periodic inspection programs. The inspection program for a tank is defined by its construction code —
Geometric Inspection of Storage Tanks Storage tanks are among the most sensitive assets on an industrial site. To ensure their integrity, safe operation, and regulatory compliance, they are subject to periodic Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). These NDT inspections include geometric inspection and visual inspection, both essential for assessing tank stability and detecting any deformation. A regulatory
Development of an automated system for the inspection of fighter aircraft wings As part of a national call for projects in aerospace maintenance, our team was asked to design an innovative solution to automate the periodic inspections carried out on fighter aircraft wings. These inspections, which are critical to flight safety, are intended to detect

Inspection of suspect roofs Asset utilization and optimization strategies are pushing operators to extend the service life of storage tanks as much as possible. As a result, some structures show signs of weakness, especially roofs, which are a source of sometimes fatal accidents for operators. Yet technical solutions do exist. Customer challenges Even today, inspectors
Inspection of floating roofs Inspecting floating roofs on active storage tanks involves various risks: structural failure, roof tilting, or roof perforation. These roofs must be subject to regular monitoring to prevent such risks. Tanks storing hazardous products are subject to regulatory inspections set out in the decrees of October 4 and 5, 2010. This Industrial
Inspection of Storage Tank Hoops: Thickness Measurement Without Working at Heights Tanks storing products that are hazardous to people and the environment are subject to regulatory inspections, as set out in the decrees of October 4 and 5, 2010. This Industrial Facilities Modernization Plan (PM2I) covers inventory, initial condition assessment, and the inspection plan to
Storage Tank Shell Inspection: Thickness Measurement Without Working at Heights Some storage tanks are exposed to degradation that can weaken them and lead to accidents. Those storing hazardous products are subject to regulatory inspections, as set out in the decrees of October 4 and 5, 2010. This Industrial Facilities Modernization Plan (PM2I) covers inventory, initial

ALTISCAN on corroded surfaces In the field of industrial inspection, robustness and precision are essential criteria. With this in mind, ROBOPLANET developed Altiscan — a magnetic robot designed to significantly enhance the assessment of ship hulls and industrial tanks, even when their surfaces are heavily corroded. Thanks to its reinforced magnetic adhesion system, Altiscan can
