Drone and NDT Inspection for Petrochemical and Refining Facilities

Keep Your Petrochemical Assets Safe, Compliant, and Online

EchoTech delivers precision drone inspections and NDT services for refineries, petrochemical plants, and process facilities throughout Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, South Caroline and North Carolina. Our certified inspectors use thermal imaging, ultrasonic testing, visual inspection, and drone-based photogrammetry to identify early-stage corrosion, mechanical fatigue, and integrity threats — all without shutdowns or scaffolding.

​

What We Inspect

Targeted Inspections for High-Risk Components

• Flare Stacks – Visual, thermal, and structural assessments

• Tanks & Vessels – Roof integrity, shell deformation, heat loss

• Piping Systems – External corrosion, heat tracing, routing anomalies

• Cooling Towers – Fan blade inspection, mechanical system heat output

• Heat Exchangers – Surface anomalies, performance evaluation

• Process Units – Thermal imaging of catalyst beds, leaks, or insulation issues

• Structural Steel & Walkways – Rust detection, deformation, integrity risks

We combine close visual drone inspection, thermal scanning, and NDT methods like UT, MT, and PT where applicable.

​

NDT Methods Offered

Nondestructive Testing for Petrochemical Assets

EchoTech is certified to perform the following NDT methods:

• Ultrasonic Testing (UT) – Wall thickness, corrosion mapping (Drone and Conventional)

• Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) – Surface/subsurface crack detection

• Penetrant Testing (PT) – Leak detection on non-ferrous components

• Infrared Thermography – Insulation failure, process anomalies (Drone and Conventional)

• Visual Testing (VT) – FAA drone-based & conventional inspections

All inspections are documented and traceable to relevant codes (API 653, API 570, ASME B31.3, NFPA 70B).
