It can happen… Even the smallest objects can cause large expenses for your facility. Foreign Object Search And Retrieval (FOSAR) tools, Loose Parts Retrieval Tools, Foreign Material Exclusion Retrieval Tools (FME) and Foreign Object Debris Retrieval Tools (FOD) will locate and remove foreign material from your system. A good Foreign Material Exclusion Program Will include [...]

Foreign Material Exclusion programs are part of safe operating precedure at any industrial plant. Infortunately, sometimes loose parts, foreign material, tools and other potentially hazardus objects find their way into industrial systems. Traditionally, plant engineers have had to resort to cutting lines or dissembling equipment in order to gain access to difficult to reach areas [...]

Planned and un-planned outages cost time and money. A dropped hard hat, tool, cell phone or other foreign material may find its way into the most hard to reach area in your plant, despite the most rigorous Foreign Material Exclusion (FME) efforts, and keep you from returning to full operating capacity. Foreign object search and [...]
Remote Visual Inspection services are available to industrial customers that either lack the proper equipment or expertise. If you need to conduct an emergency retrieval from your industrial system or inspect a critical pathway you can hire service professionals to do the work for you.
Remote visual inspection service companies employ the latest in Remote Visual [...]
Industrial Push Cameras offer remote visual inspection professionals a versatile tool to inspect long length industrial pipe line. The ability to “snake” a camera up to 200 feet through lines and view the condition of the interior reduces the possibility of unplanned outages and prevents unessential maintenance.
Push Camera Applications Include:
Inspection of boiler tubes. Boiler tubes [...]
