Confined industrial space requiring remote inspection
Confined-space inspection

Collect evidence where access is confined and hazardous.

COAX is being developed for close-range drone inspection in enclosed assets where GNSS is unavailable and sending a person inside requires careful planning.

COAX + RevSight

Remote assessment before manual entry

Confined spaces often combine restricted access, poor visibility, uncertain geometry and operational hazards. A compact inspection drone can provide an initial view of conditions and collect evidence for a better-informed entry or maintenance plan.

Confined-space inspection

Designed for enclosed environments

No GNSS dependency

Operate in indoor and underground assets where satellite positioning is unavailable.

Close-range observation

Approach walls, pipes, joints and structural elements that need detailed visual assessment.

Shared inspection record

Keep findings, source material and reporting in one RevSight workflow.

Use cases

Confined spaces suited to remote inspection

The exact method depends on geometry, hazards, access and the evidence required.

  • Technical shafts and service ducts
  • Tanks and enclosed process assets
  • Underground passages and culverts
  • Incident scenes with uncertain access conditions
COAX + RevSight

Plan around risk and required evidence

The flight is one part of a broader inspection method.

01

Assess

Review geometry, access points, hazards, communications and inspection objectives.

02

Inspect

Capture close-range data in the agreed zone without making manual entry the first step.

03

Decide

Review findings and determine whether maintenance, further testing or controlled entry is needed.

FAQ

Confined-space drone inspection FAQ

Why use a drone before entering a confined space?

A remote first look can improve knowledge of geometry and visible conditions before teams decide on entry, equipment and further testing.

Can COAX inspect an asset with no satellite signal?

Yes. COAX is designed specifically for enclosed and underground environments without GNSS/GPS.

Is visible imagery enough for every assessment?

No. Visual data can support decisions, but some defects require specialist sensors, measurements or direct testing under the applicable inspection procedure.
