Technology to get results
Critical inspections are required to ensure oil and gas sites meet regulatory and operational guidelines. Safety is paramount to any operation, but the cost of inspections and downtime can significantly impact the company's bottom line.
We offer accurate inspection systems that greatly reduce the need for confined space entry and provide high quality NDT data to make RBI programs more impactful, while enhancing productivity and cost efficiencies.
Collect and assess NDT data in real time during the inspection, reduce time charging drone batteries and unnecessary mechanical work with inspection technology designed to work with you.
Weld Inspection
Verification of weld integrity is paramount to ensuring performance expectations are met. There are many methods of nondestructive testing used to determine weld quality, including ultrasonic, x-ray, liquid penetrant, and remote visual inspection.
Critical components of weld inspection include color assessment to indicate the amount of oxidation has taken place during the welding process, and dimensional validation to specifications. Our video borescopes provide features to address these critical challenges:
- Video borescope image transformations and settings can assist in getting an accurate image of weld coloration, including White Balance, exposure (Brightness), Color Saturation, High Dynamic Range and Dark Boost. For consistency and repeatability, up to 5 presets can be loaded on the device to load pre-defined settings.
- Real3D enables inspectors to perform high quality visual inspections and take complex measurements without changing the tip optic. Many measurement types provide the inspector with valuable insights of the welded assembly, such as area depth profile which sweeps a series of depth profile slices over an area defined by 3 cursors and identifies the profile slice having the highest or lowest point.
Corrosion Inspection
Material degradation by corrosion is a constant threat to the integrity and safe operation of oil and gas facilities. Corrosion monitoring is a process that evaluates and monitors equipment components and structures for signs of corrosion with the aim to extend the life or serviceability of assets. Properly implemented corrosion monitoring programs can also increase safety and reduce costs.
For corrosion inspection, Waygate technologies offers industry leading image quality and digital tools embedded in video borescopes and large diameter cameras to ensure accurate results.
- Data is automatically geolocated to digital twin of the asset for easy reporting and efficient follow up inspections of concerning areas
- Measure and fully analyze corrosion indications during the initial inspection of the asset, saving time and money.

Designed with complex inspection applications in mind, the Everest Mentor Visual iQ+ video borescope meets the highest standards in image quality, 3D measurement capability, and workflow automation.
HD Resolution and 3D Image Stitching
This industrial borescope offers on-demand measurement with the most advanced 3D capabilities, providing more accurate measurement from increased distances. 3D Stitching combines individual images and corresponding point clouds to a larger image which enables measurement of larger defects across multiple images and the ability to accurately locate the position of defects in relation to a fixed point-of-interest. Users can adjust cursor placements in the fully-surfaced Point Cloud to deliver results with confidence.
What's New with 3D Stitching
- 2X Faster: users can leverage the MViQ+'s increased processing power to run more features simultaneously.
- Increased Image Limit to 10: the MViQ+ can now handle composite images consisting of up to 10 images where the original MViQ had a limit fo 5.
- Optimized Algorithms for Improved Point Matching: we are constantly improving our stitching algorithms to give users even more increased performance.

Advanced 3D Inspection Software
Real3D™ measurement combines fully surfaced point cloud visualization, advanced measurement algorithms and an insightful 3D Surface Mask to enable more accurate and repeatable measurement decisions. Choose from Real3D Stereo or 3D Phased Measurement which allows measurement on-demand without changing tips.
Each of these technologies is compatible with some or all measurement types to help get the measurement needed in every application. They include basics like length, depth point to line and area, but also specialty types including missing corner area, area depth profile, automatic tip blade clearance and radius gauge for boro-blending assessment.
Aside from measurement types, Real3D provides advanced tools such as depth assist and measurement plane to further increase accuracy of measurements.
What's New with Measurement?
- Area Depth Profile: Sweeps a series of depth profile slices over an area defined by three cursors and identifies the profile slice having the highest or lowest point. Now oil and gas inspectors can identify corrosion, erosion and pitting more easily.
- Surface Angle: measures the angle between a reference plane and an angle plane. For the first time on any borescope, we can now determine deformation or deflection of a compressor blade to provide a the value in degrees. Surface angle uses a simple 4 cursor workflow very similar to depth.
- Angle: 3 cursor angle function. We’ve actually lifted this function out of the multi-segment measurement type (on MVIQ Flame) and given it a dedicated tile on the measurement page. You can now assign 3 cursors to present an angle value.
