Industrial inspection is mandatory. These inspections are invariably non-destructive in nature involving services such as Ultrasonic Testing, Magnetic Testing, Eddy Current, Visual and Radiography. The important requirements should be that the services should not be intrusive in nature and there should be no stoppage of work. At times Industrial Inspection is required to be conducted in relatively inaccessible areas. This would require some specialized servicing as provided by the Rope Access Inspection Services. Earlier scaffolding was used for the kind of inspection that was to be conducted in difficult to reach areas. Scaffolding was most intrusive and generally created obstruction to the movement of men and material. Besides this scaffolding had to be erected and dismantled repeatedly and above all there was an element of risk however small. It was also more expensive when compared to the rope access.
Besides the rope access that has succeeded in reducing the difficulty faced in inspecting in remote areas of the industry the other problem faced is in conducting pipeline inspection. The inspection of pipelines is laborious and lengthy due to the miles of pipelines that have to be inspected in some typical industries such as the Petrochemical and Power Generation. Pipeline inspection is often carried out by the Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) method that uses an inline inspection (MFL-ILI) tool. This tool travels inside the pipeline while detecting the flaws and simultaneously cleaning the inside walls as well. In an advanced method involving large lengths of pipeline GPS is sometimes used for pinpointing the exact location of the defect.
