Vessel Inspection Drone Singapore — Pressure Vessels and Columns Inspected Safely

Drone Inspection for Industrial Vessels

Pressure vessels, distillation columns, heat exchangers, and reactor vessels form the core of Singapore's petrochemical processing infrastructure. These assets require periodic internal inspection to verify structural integrity, assess corrosion rates, and ensure continued safe operation. On Jurong Island alone, thousands of vessels across dozens of facilities undergo inspection during scheduled turnarounds.

Traditional vessel inspection involves erecting internal scaffolding, performing gas testing, establishing rescue teams, and sending inspectors inside — a process that typically adds 2-5 days to a turnaround schedule. Drone inspection compresses this timeline to hours. Our confined space drones enter vessels through nozzles and manholes, capturing comprehensive visual data of all internal surfaces without any human entry.

For plant operators managing tight turnaround schedules, the time savings translate directly to reduced production losses — often making drone inspection the most cost-effective option even before considering the safety benefits.

Vessel Types We Inspect

• Pressure Vessels — shell condition, head welds, nozzle reinforcements, internal lining integrity, and corrosion monitoring at known vulnerable locations.
• Distillation Columns — tray condition, downcomer integrity, packing distribution, feed nozzle erosion, and overhead vapour line condition.
• Reactors — catalyst bed condition, refractory lining, thermowell integrity, and inlet distributor assessment.
• Heat Exchangers — tube sheet face condition, baffle integrity, shell-side corrosion, and channel head assessment.
• Boiler Drums — internal surface corrosion, weld condition, steam separator integrity, and feedwater nozzle assessment.
