A longterm strategy for faster rig inspectionsThe scale of this project cannot be overstated - by inspecting 63 tanks in 2 weeks, the team was inspecting over 10 assets per day. This pales in comparison to traditional methods. For example, on an FSPO, tank inspections require up to 4 or 5 rope access technicians, and it can take up to a week to complete the inspection. With an Elios 3, it took 2 people just 2 days per tank.  Moving forward, TDBR Inspections expects to repeat inspections of this nature at 3R-2 and other similar sites. Their operational efficiency alone brought significant time and cost savings to the managers at 3R-2, as well as optimized the movement of staff and inspectors - helping solve the challenge of the number of PoB. Not only was the Elios able to keep people safe and out of confined spaces, but it gathered data that matched the regulatory requirements of the Class Society, and helped solve a real industry-wide challenge.
