Dexon TechnologyDefects don't care how difficult a pipeline inspection is, and difficult-to-access pipelines are no exception.
Inspectors cannot travel to a site for a variety of reasons.
There could be an active conflict, restrictions on foreign nationals, or a lethal pandemic, but the need for inspection never goes away.
Left unchecked, defects can lead to catastrophic leaks, environmental damage, and billion-dollar losses.
This is why Dexon has built the flexibility to support safe, effective inspections, even when our team cannot physically be there.
A Decade of Remote Support in West Africa
For over ten years, Dexon has supported a major inspection program in West Africa.
But poor security meant we could not send engineers on site.
The solution: train local engineers.
Dexon brought a team of local professionals to our headquarters for a three-month intensive program, where they learned how to safely operate our in-line inspection tools.
Today, these engineers manage on-site operations, using Dexon’s tools with real-time support from our experts via video call.
From ten thousand kilometers away, our remote team verifies function checks, reviews diagnostics, checks data quality, and guides setup.
The Challenges of Remote Operations
Remote work is not without hurdles.
Minor fixes can be guided remotely, but serious mechanical issues require tools to be shipped back to Dexon HQ.
Missing consumables and niche components, often unavailable, can delay operations. We mitigate this by pre-packing spares into every tool shipment.
And poor security requires armed escorts to, at, and from the site.
Integrity Through Flexibility
Remote operations are just one way Dexon adapts to challenges.
From compact, bi-directional pigs to custom launcher designs, we specialize in turning difficult pipelines into inspectable ones.
Whether you are in the middle of nowhere, the middle of a pandemic, or the middle of a conflict, Dexon can keep your integrity program on track.
