Intelligent Inspections for the Process Industry and Tank Terminals

Intelligent Inspections for the Process Industry and Tank Terminals

In the process industry and tank terminal environments, asset integrity is critical. These sectors operate under strict safety regulations (such as ATEX zones and standards like EEMUA-159 and API 653) and demand continuous monitoring and proactive maintenance. Kiwa offers advanced inspection services that combine robotics, drone technology, and AI-driven analytics to deliver fast, safe, and compliant inspections.

For tank terminals and in the process industry safety, compliance, and operational continuity are non-negotiable. Yet traditional inspection methods often fall short—costly shutdowns, hazardous access conditions, and fragmented data can hinder performance and increase risk. Kiwa’s intelligent inspections offer a transformative solution: combining drone and robotic technology with AI-powered analytics to deliver fast, accurate, and actionable insights.

Whether you're managing tank terminals, pipelines, pressure vessels, or flare stacks, our inspection solutions are built to meet the unique challenges of the process industry. We support:

  • Tank inspections with multi-dimensional data integration and defect trend analysis
  • Piping and pressure vessel inspections using ultrasonic thickness measurement drones
  • Emission monitoring with optical gas imaging and sensor technologyy
  • Fire Safety installation inspections to ensure critical systems are compliant, operational, and ready for emergency response
  • Concrete structure assessments using advanced imaging and AI to detect cracks, spalling, and structural degradation

Technology-Driven Efficiency

Using our digital platform, Kiwa delivers structured, multi-dimensional inspection data:

  • Visual, thermal, and emission surveys
  • Ultrasonic thickness measurements via drones (e.g. Elios 3 UT Payload)
  • 3D defect visualization and AI-powered defect annotation
  • Centralized reporting via digital dashboards or PDF formats

This integrated ecosystem enables predictive maintenance, trend analysis, and strategic asset management, helping you move from reactive to proactive operations.
