The concept of remotely deployed NDT has been possible by development of robotic scanning tools that manipulate the inspection probe(s) over the surface under test. These scanning tools are connected by multicore umbilical cable to a PC based workstation that allows full control of the scanning tool and real time display of the inspection data. There is a full range of scanning tools available that cover a wide range of pipe diameters and geometries both for internal and external inspection. Deployment of the scanning tools can be by simple gravity, or manual fed systems. For extended reach capability crawler or tracked vehicle insertion has been utilised to pull the system along pipelines or other tubular systems.
