Buried pipelines move with the ground, and operators of energy, utility, water, and hydrogen networks need to find those movements before they become failures. Conventional in-line inspection cannot enter many of these assets, leaving a choice between excavation and uncertain data. Skipper NDT flies drone-mounted and land-based magnetic sensors over buried pipelines, capturing positioning, depth of cover, and bending strain without touching the asset.
Where pigging-based in-line tools from inspection specialists such as NDT Global or T.D. Williamson cannot run, Skipper NDT's contactless survey covers river crossings, unstable slopes, and other hard-to-access lines, and its Admiral and Morpho software turn raw magnetic readings into a digital twin that operators track across inspections. That positions the company as the integrity-data provider for pipelines other inspection methods cannot reach.
