Our drone-based cleaning solutions eliminate the need for workers to operate in hazardous environments. This drastically reduces or eliminates the cost and complexity associated with scaffolding and rope access.<\/strong><\/p>

With deep expertise in cleaning methods for industrial and offshore environments, we\u2019ve developed sustainable and cost-effective solutions tailored for the oil and gas sector. These facilities consist primarily of metallic structures, which demand careful cleaning to preserve protective coatings and extend lifespan.<\/p>

The KTV SelfCleaner is a unique, in-house developed cleaning system designed to clean effectively without causing surface damage\u2014ensuring long-term protection of critical assets.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

By 2025, our goal is to enable the drone to carry out surface treatment tasks directly. We are currently working on advanced solutions including spot-repair sandblasting, allowing localized surface preparation for coating repairs.<\/p>

This innovation is driven by a clear objective: reduce the need for personnel in high-risk environments, while also reducing costs and improving efficiency for our clients.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Advanced drone inspection for oil, gas, and industrial facilities<\/h3>

The oil and gas sector demands continuous control of structures exposed to corrosion, temperature variation, and harsh environments.<\/strong><\/p>

KTV Working Drone delivers advanced inspection services designed specifically for these challenges, combining high-resolution photography, thermal imaging, and 3D modeling with engineering analysis.<\/p>

Our drone-based inspection identifies and documents:<\/strong><\/p>

  • Corrosion and coating degradation on steel structures and pipelines<\/li>
  • Structural deformation or cracks caused by load or vibration<\/li>
  • Loose or unstable fa\u00e7ade and panel systems with fall risk<\/li>
  • Moisture intrusion and insulation breakdown in process areas<\/li>
  • Heat anomalies and leaks from tanks, vessels, and piping<\/li>
  • Overheating or electrical faults in control systems and mechanical equipment

    <\/li><\/ul>

    \"KTV<\/p>

    These inspections are performed without scaffolding, rope access, or shutdown, reducing cost, exposure, and downtime while increasing precision and safety<\/p>

    All reports include visual and thermal data interpreted by engineers, providing verified results with actionable insights for maintenance and safety programs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
