Robotic NDT Inspections

Utilizing the KRATOS robotic platform, we conduct high-precision non-destructive testing (NDT) by integrating Phased Array (PAUT) and Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) ultrasonic technologies to provide a comprehensive diagnostic of both surface and subsurface anomalies, ensuring the total structural integrity of the turbine tower.

Defect Mapping & Technical Reporting

Each inspection concludes with a final report that provides a digital map of all detected anomalies, including their size and precise location coordinates. By integrating inspection imaging from PAUT and TOFD in accordance with international ISO standards (13588, 19285, 10863, and 15626), our reports categorize every finding based on the ISO 5817 defect classification. This delivers the essential technical data needed to make informed decisions regarding structural integrity and long-term maintenance planning.

Reducing UT Inspection Risks

The KRATOS robot significantly reduces working-at-height risks by eliminating any need for rope access or specialized scaffolding, capable of scaling tower heights up to 100 meters. This remote-controlled approach enhances overall site safety without compromising the precision or quality of technical data, delivering a highly efficient ground based structural audit.
