NDT: UTM and VT Inspection in Height

We are committed to providing innovative solutions for non-destructive testing (NDT) and visual testing (VT) inspections at height. The Altum Telescopic Pole, is designed to revolutionize the way inspections are conducted in challenging environments.

Why Choose the Altum Telescopic Pole?

The Altum Telescopic Pole is a state-of-the-art inspection tool that combines efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness. It eliminates the need for traditional methods such as scaffolding, cherry pickers, and rope access, offering a modern solution for inspecting hard-to-reach areas.

Key Features:

Extended Reach: The Altum pole extends up to 18.87 meters, allowing for comprehensive inspections of tall structures.
Lightweight and Portable: Made from high modulus carbon, the pole is lightweight and easy to transport, even by plane.
Quick Setup: The system can be set up in just 10 minutes, significantly reducing downtime.
Battery Operated: No need for a 220V power source; the Altum operates on swappable batteries.
Versatile Applications: Suitable for inspecting steel, stainless steel, and composite tanks, even in tight spaces.
Integrated Visual and Ultrasonic Modules: Equipped with a camera for visual inspections and a UTM module for ultrasonic thickness measurements.

Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement (UTM)

The Altum with UTM module is designed for precise thickness gauging of tanks and other structures.

A-Scan Capability: Provides accurate thickness measurements and can measure paint coating thickness simultaneously with steel thickness.

Grinding System: Equipped with a grinder to clean dirty or rusted surfaces before measurement.

Swappable Probes: Easily change probes to suit different inspection needs.

No restrictions: As is the case with drones (licenses, wind, very narrow spaces, no grinding facility, etc…)

No other system can measure so quickly, efficiently and accurately up to a height of 20 meters!

Visual Testing (VT)

The Altum's visual module includes a high-resolution camera with a gimbal stabilization system, ensuring clear and stable images. The camera can be controlled via Wi-Fi or USB-C, and the system includes LED lighting for inspections in dark areas.

Benefits of the ALTUM Over Traditional Methods

Safety: Reduced Risk Performed from the ground, minimizing the dangers associated with working at height.

Efficiency: Quick Setup Ready in just 10 minutes, unlike the extensive setup time for scaffolding.

Cost-Effectiveness: Lower Costs eliminates the need for scaffolding and additional personnel, reducing both direct and indirect costs.

Accuracy and Reliability: Precise Measurements Provides accurate thickness readings, including paint coating thickness.

proven performance

The Altum system is trusted by leading companies such as BASF Antwerp, Eurochem, Oleon, Exxon Antwerp, and Arcelor Mittal Gent. Its reliability and effectiveness make it the ideal choice for modern inspection needs.
