Why UT_Rover

Inspect tank roofs without sending anyone onto them

UT_Rover eliminates confined space entry and exposure to ATEX zones for floating and fixed roof inspections. The operator stays on the ground while the robot inspects in their place.

No human entry

Eliminate confined space, EX zone, and uncertain roof risks. Compliant with the strictest HSE requirements.

Long-range remote operation

100 m in UT, 1 km in visual mode. 4G compatible on covered sites. The operator controls the system from a safe area.

Modular

UT, visual inspection, brushing, gas detection. Each mission can be configured with the modules required.

Capabilities

A complete inspection robot for inaccessible areas

Designed, developed, and qualified in close partnership with HSE and inspection teams from major industrial clients.

A-Scan & B-Scan

Spot or continuous thickness measurements. 13 mm 5 MHz dual-crystal probe. Accuracy ± 0.15 mm.

Magnetic system for all curvatures

Custom-designed magnetic system. Crosses lap welds and curved plates up to 10% curvature.

IP67 — all-weather

Sealed and reinforced connectors. Operational in rain and strong winds. Resistant to residue and foam.

HD / Ultra HD camera

Long-range visual inspection up to 1 km. Photo and video documentation of inspected areas.

EX zone compatible

Full ATEX risk study and integration. Onboard gas detector with alarm reporting to the ground station.

Automated reports

Real-time A-Scan and B-Scan acquisition. Automatic Excel export. Post-inspection data editing available.

Main use case

Uncertain floating and fixed roofs

Tank roof inspections involve confined space entry and exposure to EX risk. UT_Rover was designed specifically to eliminate these risks by keeping the operator at a distance.

Floating roofs — including double-deck roofs
Fixed roofs with unknown thickness
Surfaces with foam, residue, or strong curvature
Closed assets where human entry is prohibited

Remote operation

Operate from a safe area

UT_Rover is portable by a single person (14 kg). It deploys quickly and is remotely operated with live video and real-time data feedback at the control station.

Wireless or umbilical connection
4G remote operation compatible on covered sites
Travel speed: 20 cm/s
Tested on more than 20 petrochemical tanks
Modules & options

Configure every mission

UT_Rover carries different interchangeable modules depending on inspection needs.

UT module (A-Scan & B-Scan)

Thickness measurements up to 100 m range. 5 MHz dual-crystal probe with integrated encoder. Vertical A-Scan module available.

HD / Ultra HD camera

Long-range visual inspection up to 1 km. Photo and video documentation of inspected areas.

Brushing module

Rotating brush for removing foam and residue. Prepares the surface before measurement without manual intervention.

Gas detector

Onboard detection with alarm reporting to the control station. Secures interventions in suspicious atmospheres.

5 L couplant tank

120 m of B-Scan autonomy. Can also be used for surface cleaning before measurement.

4G remote operation

Remote piloting on sites with network coverage. Extends operational range beyond line of sight.
