Video Scope

At Eagle Eye NDT, ensuring the integrity of your assets goes beyond surface inspection. Our Remote Visual Inspection (RVI) service, utilizing video scopes and other specialized tools, offers a powerful method for examining internal components and hard-to-reach areas. This minimally invasive approach empowers you to identify potential issues and safeguard your critical infrastructure proactively.

Benefits: A Clear Advantage for Internal Inspection

Implementing RVI offers several advantages:

  • Minimally Invasive: RVI eliminates the need for disassembly or extensive access point creation, minimizing downtime and costs.

  • Access to Confined Spaces: The RVI device reaches areas inaccessible to direct visual inspection.

  • Real-Time Visualization: Inspectors can view the internal condition in real-time, allowing for immediate assessment of potential issues.

  • Detailed Recording: Recordings of the inspection enable further analysis and future reference.

  • Improved Decision Making: RVI data empowers you to make informed decisions regarding maintenance, repair, or replacement needs.

Limitations to Consider

While RVI offers significant benefits, it has limitations:

  • Limited Field of View: The camera provides a specific field of view, and inspecting large or complex internal geometries may require multiple insertion points.

  • Surface Inspection Only: RVI primarily detects surface defects and may not identify issues more profound within the material.

  • Need for Skilled Inspectors: Proper interpretation of the RVI findings requires trained and experienced inspectors.

Conclusion

Remote Visual Inspection is a cornerstone NDT method for illuminating hidden spaces within your assets. Eagle Eye NDT's team of qualified inspectors and our advanced RVI technology ensure a comprehensive internal examination. By leveraging RVI, you can proactively identify potential problems, safeguard your asset integrity, and optimise your maintenance strategies.


Seeing the Unseen: How RVI Works

RVI utilizes specialized tools to provide a visual examination of otherwise inaccessible areas:

  1. Selecting the Right Tool: Our experienced inspectors choose the most appropriate RVI device based on the specific application. This could be a video scope, rigid borescope, or fiberscope, each offering varying lengths, diameters, and articulation capabilities.

  2. Illuminating the Interior: The RVI device has a high-intensity light source and a miniature camera, transmitting a clear view of the internal cavity onto a screen for real-time inspection.

  3. Systematic Examination: The inspector maneuvers the RVI device's insertion tube through the access point, providing a comprehensive visual examination of the internal surfaces.

  4. Recording and Reporting: The inspection can be recorded for detailed analysis, and a comprehensive report can be generated outlining the findings and any recommended actions.
