Bolt & drone inspection

Measure instead of
guessing.

You cannot tell by looking at a bolted connection whether it will hold. We determine the preload force using ultrasound and use drones to semi-automatically scan large areas, even in places inaccessible to humans.

Scope of services

What we measure and record.

01 — BOLT TESTING

Preload force via ultrasound

Ultrasonic measurement method for determining preload force on safety-critical connections.

Bolt testing and bolt inspection

Measurement of individual connections, as a spot check or comprehensive survey.
Measurable on any standard bolt; no special bolts required

Focus on safety-critical connections

reproducibly documented and therefore verifiable to third parties

Inspection of a weld seam inside a pipe

02 — EXTERNAL DRONE

External drone inspection

Efficient assessment of large areas and hard-to-reach locations.

Semi-automated data collection

Large areas in a short time

Tower and outer shell

Rotor blade exterior

Analysis with localization of the finding

even in areas that are difficult to reach via rope access

Lifting gear and safety equipment in offshore operations

03 — CONFINED SPACE

Drone in an indoor environment

Inspection of confined and hard-to-reach interior spaces where human access would be complex or risky.

Inspection of confined spaces

without personnel in hazardous areas

Image data instead of site visits

documented images as the basis for assessment

Coating condition on a steel structure

04 — DOCUMENTATION

Analysis and reporting

A measurement is only useful if it remains traceable later on. Every finding is localized, documented, and classified.

Finding with clear localization

every finding clearly assigned to a specific location on the asset

Classification of required action

so you know what needs immediate attention and what can wait until the next window

Delimitation

We inspect. Others repair.

mh² inspection provides exclusively inspection and expert services. Repairing any findings is the responsibility of executing companies, such as our sister company mh² offshore. This is not a detour, but intentional: an inspection is only reliable if it is carried out independently of the repair work.

At mh² inspection

, inspection: periodic inspection, bolt and drone inspection, as well as expert services.

At mh² offshore

, maintenance: steel construction, welding technology, and corrosion protection on the turbine.
