Leverage advanced digital technologies for a safer inspection


Confined spaces in industrial facilities present a unique set of challenges: they can be high risk, labor intensive, and costly to inspect. Our innovative solution utilizes state-of-the-art drone and robotic technologies to mitigate exposing personnel to the inherent safety risks presented by these environments.

Improved Safety

Reduces the number of confined space entries by personnel to determine the condition of components inside facilities.

Reduces Costs

Eliminates expensive downtime and labor-intensive inspection methods, such as inspecting from scaffolding, personnel lifts, or cranes.

Remote Inspections

Improves overall facility system health by inspecting hard-to-reach areas.

Detailed Reports

Offers actionable insights for maintenance planning using imagery, video, sonar, thermography, LiDAR, NDE, and more.

Our Services

Industrial Facilities Inspections


Catering to the diverse needs of industrial facilities, we leverage drones, robots, sensors, and software to deliver a wide range of inspection solutions for plant assets. Our confined space inspection capabilities encompass:

  • Visual and Thermographic Surveys: Using visual data capture to assess the surface condition, and thermal imaging to identify anomalous heat signatures on various components.
  • Underwater Visual Inspections: Using visual and ultrasonic thickness payloads for assessing underwater components, to reduce the need for human divers for inspections.
  • Remote Deployable NDE (Non-Destructive Evaluation): Advanced NDE methods such as UT (Ultrasonic Testing), EMAT (Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducers), and DFT (Dry Film Thickness) measurements for coating and thickness analysis.
  • LiDAR Scanning: The use of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology for creating 3D point clouds of facility interiors, especially in hard-to-reach or complex areas within industrial facilities.
  • Sonar Scanning: The use of SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) technology to inspect and monitor underwater components and systems.

Clearsight Capability

Advanced Digital Technology


Our innovative technology allows us to remotely inspect inside hazardous environments such as confined spaces that are difficult to access and areas with environmental hazards across a multitude of plant systems. Inspections in confined spaces are critical tasks that are often restricted to when systems are down-powered or during outages. Our experienced operators use best-in-class drones and robotics to gather critical data through a variety of conditions, often while operating at full power. With this technology, our team is able to access areas to perform inspections, such as:

  • Condenser and steam side inspections
  • Tank inspections
  • Intake structure inspections
  • Boiler inspections
  • Piping inspections
  • Interior and exterior facility inspections

Following the inspection, our customers are given a data-rich report filled with insights that aid them in managing proactive preventative maintenance programs.

The Clearsight Inspection Process

Traditional Hazardous and Confined Space Inspections

  • Often expose personnel to inherent safety concerns
  • Limited accessibility increases personnel needed, time, and costs
  • May require the plant to enter a forced outage, resulting in loss of generation revenue
  • Data captured is often excessive and/or incomplete

Our Hazardous and Confined Space Inspections

  • Reduces personnel needed and mitigates safety concerns
  • Access to hard-to-reach areas eliminates need for scaffolding and additional personnel
  • Inspections may be conducted while the plant is at full power or can reduce outage time
  • Secure, comprehensive data collection and detailed reporting

The Clearsight Advantage

We leverage advanced digital technologies to enhance safety, reduce costs, and provide detailed, data-driven insights for efficient inspection of confined spaces in industrial facilities, ultimately improving system reliability and preventing unnecessary outages.
