Borescope inspection

Borescope inspection (BI) enables a non-invasive assessment of the internal components of your gas turbine and eliminates the need for disassembly. This inspection helps determine the current condition of the components and assists in planning any necessary maintenance or repair work. A planned or unplanned borescope inspection can increase turbine availability and significantly reduce downtime and repair costs. Failure to perform a borescope inspection could result in critical failures and dangerous situations. Depending on the gas turbine model, a planned borescope inspection is typically performed every 4,000 to 8,000 hours or annually (whichever comes first) to prevent damage.

How it works

A borescope is an optical camera that enables a non-intrusive inspection of internal components without disassembly. Our experienced engineers use a flexible tube equipped with a camera to navigate through tight spaces inside your gas turbine. High-quality photos taken during the inspection reveal even the smallest irregularities. Our comprehensive BI report includes detailed descriptions and accompanying photos of the condition of each component and provides evidence that can be used to gain information.

This inspection methodology helps identify potential problems before they escalate and cause damage or, in the worst case, a complete shutdown of your power plants.
