IP68 NDT Crawler

In-service tank floor inspection, without draining

The IP68 NDT Crawler is designed for in-service inspection of fire water tank floors on petrochemical and SEVESO sites, without draining. Equipped with UT sensors, a C-Scan arm, cameras, sonar and a sediment brushing system, it performs a complete floor integrity inspection without interrupting operations.

Zero confined space entry

Inspection performed remotely, with no operator exposure inside the tank.

Complete UT inspection

A-scan, B-scan and C-scan with a 300 mm scanning arm for integrity monitoring.

Tank kept in service

No draining required and no operational shutdown for fire water reserves.

Capabilities

Designed for fire water tanks

An IP68 immersed solution designed for regulatory tank floor inspections, especially on petrochemical sites, SEVESO facilities and fire water reserves.

Extended IP68 immersion

Immersed magnetic crawler designed to operate underwater, down to a depth of 20 m.

300 mm C-Scan arm

5 MHz UT sensor combined with a C-Scan scanning arm to map tank floor thickness.

Sediment brushing

Brushing system designed to clean up to 5 mm of sediment and ensure proper UT contact.

Onboard vision

HD cameras, LED lighting and live display to support navigation and inspection.

Navigation sonar

Sonar module for sediment mapping and navigation support in immersed environments.

Automatic reports

Datareport generates reports and A-scan, B-scan and C-scan analyses from acquisitions.

In-service inspection

Zero draining, zero operational shutdown

The crawler inspects fire water tank floors without emptying the tank. It addresses the constraints of industrial sites where operational shutdowns, loss of availability or confined space entry are critical issues.

Tank kept in service during inspection
No operator entry into confined spaces
Suitable for petrochemical and SEVESO sites
Aligned with APSAD R1, API 653, DT94 and CODRES requirements
