NDT Drone Inspections
Advanced Non-Destructive Testing with Aerial and Confined-Space Drones
Nurosight Robotics provides Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Drone Inspections across Queensland and Australia, offering precise, contact-based inspection solutions that eliminate the need for scaffolding, rope access, or confined-space entry.
Using cutting-edge drone-mounted NDT payloads, we perform Ultrasonic Thickness (UT), Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC), Dry Film Thickness (DFT), and Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) testing — delivering accurate, validated data that meets ASME, API, and ISO standards.
About Our NDT Drone Inspection Services
Our drone-based NDT services combine contact-based sensing technology with advanced UAV platforms to deliver highly accurate, repeatable data for industrial asset integrity.
By integrating UT, PEC, DFT, and EMAT systems into both external UAVs and confined-space drones, Nurosight Robotics helps clients measure wall thickness, detect corrosion, verify coating condition, and identify subsurface flaws — all without human entry or access equipment.
Our team works in partnership with certified NDT technicians, ASME inspectors, and asset owners to ensure every inspection meets engineering and regulatory requirements while minimising operational downtime.
Our NDT Drone Capabilities
-
Ultrasonic Thickness (UT) Testing – Measures wall thickness, corrosion loss, and pitting on tanks, vessels, and pipelines.
-
Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) – Detects corrosion under insulation (CUI) and identifies wall loss on coated or insulated surfaces.
-
Dry Film Thickness (DFT) Measurement – Determines coating and paint thickness to verify protective layer performance.
-
Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) – Performs non-contact inspections to detect cracks, corrosion, and defects in ferromagnetic materials.
-
Confined-Space UT via Elios 3 – Our Elios 3 drone can conduct UT testing inside tanks, vessels, and other enclosed spaces, combining internal access safety with high-quality data collection.
-
ASME/API Compliant Workflows – All NDT operations are performed in line with API 653, ASME Section V, and ISO 9712 standards.
-
Integrated Data Management – Combine NDT readings with visual, LiDAR, and digital twin datasets for unified analysis and traceability.
