Inspection, measurement and repair
solutions
OMS (Optical Metrology Services) is
an award-winning technology company
with a track record of inspection, repair
and maintenance in difficult-to-reach
or confined spaces such as pipelines.
Twice winner of the Queen’s Award
for Innovation, the company’s team
of specialist engineers work with
asset owners, installation companies,
fabricators and operators to inspect,
repair and verify, as well as manage the
integrity of plant and pipelines.
The company’s goal is to provide
efficient, flexible services to industry,
allowing organisations to successfully
grow their businesses, safe in the
knowledge that their assets are fit
for purpose, ensuring maximum
performance.
Utilising its suite of versatile crawler
units to access seemingly out of reach
locations, OMS can provide a range of
inspection and corrective repair solutions
to address challenging problems faced
by the pipeline construction industry,
highlighting potential issues before
they occur or carrying out risk-based
inspection work.
Using innovative technology, the
company provides techniques to identify
potential problems, confirming tight
tolerances are within specification;
identifying oxidation, corrosion and
wrinkling; checking wall thickness; and
inspecting welds; then implementing
corrective repairs such as grinding,
filling or welding.
OMS understands the critical
importance of accuracy to its customers,
whether inspecting a structure to provide
condition or shape information, looking
for defects in pipework and plant,
implementing corrective actions, or even
identifying potential problems as pipeline
systems are assembled and deployed.
The inspection tools are capable of
navigating the most difficult situations,
including 3D bends, horizontal, diagonal
and vertical pipe structures, and both
long and short distances.
Tools provide feedback from forward-
and side-looking cameras with high
quality images, and real-time video
including laser measurement data
and detailed mapping, with results
compiled into a comprehensive report,
allowing further analysis of the asset, if
necessary.
OMS’s ability to inspect, measure,
repair and verify any necessary
remedial action, combined with visual,
accurate dimensional analysis, allows
clients to see the ‘bigger picture’, make
the right decisions, then recommend
and implement the right repair solutions
immediately, rather than delaying
important work.
