Remote visual inspections (RVI) for storage tanks and pipelines are typically used to complement other inspection techniques or where internal access is restricted. To assist asset-integrity-management programmes, remote visual inspections support routine and corrective integrity-management works and engineering investigations.

Internal and remote visual inspection systems are prime inspection tools when planning of outage and maintenance schedules in many areas of industry.
Remote visual inspections may be required for limited or inaccessible areas, pre- and post-shutdown activities, verifying repair completion, confirming breakdowns, undertaking routine or corrective maintenance works and engineering investigations.
Remote visual inspections can be used in boilers, tanks, piping, culverts, drains, fuel and product pipelines, water pipelines, ballast tanks, risers, caissons, conductors and in any area where access is limited or not possible.
