Services

TEXO’s Survey & Inspection team delivers a full spectrum of data-capture and analysis solutions.

We use advanced UAS technology for non-intrusive inspections and surveys across complex assets. Typical projects include offshore platforms and oil rigs, jack up and semi-submersible rigs, wind turbines, offshore substations, transmission towers and large industrial plants. This cuts time on site while delivering high-resolution imagery and accurate data for asset management, condition monitoring and structural integrity assessments.

Capture every millimetre with precision. Our laser scanners produce accurate point clouds and 3D models for design, clash detection and digital twin creation. We scan process plants, bridges, tunnels, buildings and structural steelwork to give designers and engineers trusted as-built data for refurbishment and complex capital projects.

Using specialised robotics and camera systems, we inspect storage tanks, pipelines, vessels, culverts and other enclosed or hazardous structures without manned entry. This improves safety, reduces downtime and supports compliance in refineries, power stations, water treatment works and chemical plants.

Comprehensive visual inspections with annotated imagery, defect tagging and cloud-based reporting to support maintenance planning and asset lifecycle decisions. We commonly inspect offshore platforms, stacks, roofs, cladding, bridges, pipe racks and plant areas.

From land to sea, we map development plots, highways, ports, quaysides, sea walls, rivers, reservoirs and coastal defences. Our topographical and coastal surveys provide precise elevation data to support engineering design, flood risk assessment, coastal management and environmental projects.

We locate and map buried infrastructure using GPR, EM and laser scanning technologies. Typical sites include industrial plants, urban streets, development sites and critical infrastructure corridors, helping to reduce strike risk, support safe excavation and de-risk design.

Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement gives accurate wall-thickness data to assess corrosion, monitor material integrity and ensure safe operation of critical assets such as pressure vessels, storage tanks, pipework and structural steel in onshore and offshore environments.
