Inspection Focus Parameters
- 01Shells, cones, supports and connections
- 02Corrosion, cracking, wear and deformation indicators
- 03Internal linings and surfaces where accessible
- 04Geometry or movement where repeat capture is required
Target Deliverables
- 01Mapped condition imagery
- 02NDT results where separately scoped
- 03Point cloud or model where required
- 04Risk-ranked investigation and maintenance actions
Choose evidence for the failure concern
Visible corrosion, suspected section loss, cracking and geometric distortion are not interchangeable concerns. Define the credible condition question first, then select imagery, testing or dimensional capture.
Key Considerations
- List known defects and operating history
- Separate visual, NDT and survey tasks
- Nominate comparison tolerances if monitoring change
Plan around operations and access
External capture may proceed while equipment operates, while internal work depends on asset status and site controls. The inspection plan should identify which evidence is possible in each operating state.
Key Considerations
- Map exclusion and process zones
- Confirm internal access prerequisites
- Coordinate shutdown-dependent tasks

Scope a silo or bin inspection
Share the asset type, the decision the inspection needs to support, and any known access constraints. The technical team will define an appropriate scope.
