Gecko Robotics | Robotics Inspections

Our operators, certified level I, II, and III NDT inspectors, control wall climbing inspection robots to perform non-destructive testing on tanks, boilers, scrubbers, piping and more. Using different inspection payloads, the robots can inspect wall thickness, cracking, pitting, and other forms of degradation. With continuous data capture, robots can collect 1000x more information while also performing the inspection on average 10x faster than previous methods.

Gecko Robotics - Piping

This time lapse video shows Gecko’s robots performing ultrasonic and visual testing on piping assets. Our teams can inspect piping assets while they’re still in service, and transform this data into a 3D deliverable thickness map that’s populated as the robots crawl.

Gecko Robotics - EVA

Gecko’s EVA bot uses laser profilometry and cameras to inspect tube damage. EVA can complete inspection 10x faster than traditional methods, and go places humans cannot. With EVA, our teams provide safe, high-quality inspections that processes data in an easy to understand way.

Gecko Robotics - Fuel Silos Inspection

Gecko’s robots perform UT and visual inspection on silos, collecting data faster, and more in-depth than previous inspection methods. Our robots inspected four fuel silos in just 1 day and produced a full coverage deliverable with pictures, excel maps, and online models.

Gecko Robotics - SDA Inspection

Gecko Robotics can inspect sprayer dryer absorbers without the need for costly scaffolding. Our robots capture thickness data at 1 feet per second, which decreases downtime and gathers better, more in depth data that reflects height, thickness, and angle. Gecko’s teams inspected the full SDA in only 2 short shifts.

Gecko Robotics - Tank Inspection

This video shows one of Gecko’s robots climbing up and down a tank, collecting thickness data as it goes, and populating this data in a presentable, 3D thickness map.

Gecko Robotics - Propane Tank A2 Inspection

Here, we see a Gecko Robotics inspector guiding one of our inspection robots as it performs non-destructive testing on the outside of a propane tank. Note how our inspector shifts the robot to avoid obstacles.

Gecko Robotics - Pulverized Coal Boiler Inspection

In this video, Gecko Robotics Inspection Teams (GRIT) inspect the coutant slope of a pulverized coal boiler during a forced outage. They detected 240 tubes in critical condition in only 14 hours by performing visual and ultrasonic (UT) thickness testing.

Gecko Robotics - PC Inspection: Spring 2017

Gecko's robots can climb high! During an inspection at Hoosier energy, our robots climbed a record 120 linear feet per run as they performed UT and visual inspection on Hoosier’s pulverized coal boiler.

Gecko Robotics - PC Boiler Inspection

Gecko’s robots performed visual and ultrasonic inspection on 250MW PC boiler, taking data at each inch and analyzing visuals to reveal defects. Our teams inspected the boiler in 5 shorter days than traditional methods, producing a 1000 times more data.

Gecko Robotics - FBHE Inspection

In this video, Gecko’s EVA 2.0 robot inspects evaporator assemblies within Warrior Run’s fluidized bed heat exchanger. EVA could reach spaces as tight as 2 inches, and depths of 20 feet, using her laser to measure tube loss. EVA inspected 34 evaporator assemblies in only 4 short days.

Gecko Robotics - Lower Slope Inspection

Gecko’s teams performed visual and UT inspection on the lower slope of Southern Co.’s PC boiler. They collected thickness data at every inch, and inspected 8 tubes at a time. Overall, they checked 1000 tubes at 3 angles in only 2 short shifts, and Gecko Vision provided the client with a 3D thickness map of this data.

Gecko Inspection - 2015

In this video, Gecko’s robots gathered 30,000 individual thickness points across 76 tubes in an asset in 2015. Comparatively, traditional inspection methods only gathered 2,500 points, which took 5 times as long.

Gecko Robotics - Inspection Services

This video runs down Gecko Robotics inspection service in full, describing why assets need routine inspections, and how our robots gather more in-depth data in a safer way than traditional non-destructive testing.

Gecko Robotics - AES Warrior Run: Spring 2017

Gecko Robotics - Where Does Power Come From?

This video explains with visuals how power plants generate electricity, the role the assets Gecko Robotics inspects play in the power generation process, and how our technology keeps power plants running by performing non destructive testing on these assets.

Gecko Robotics - Humans vs. Robots

Side by side comparison of traditional, handheld non destructive testing, and Gecko’s faster, wall climbing robots.

Gecko Robotics - Gecko Portal

At the end of inspections, we're able to present an entire interactive map of your entire asset within 24 hours. This not only shows you a heat map of your asset's functional health but allows you to view exactly where those problem areas are with exact measurements and HD visuals.

Gecko Robotics - Industrial Inspections

This highlight video shows footage from many different Gecko inspections, allowing you to see Gecko’s robots climbing and performing UT inspection on various assets.

Gecko Robotics Scrubber Inspection

Gecko Robotics can inspect sprayer dryer absorbers without the need for costly scaffolding. Our robots capture thickness data at 1 feet per second, which decreases downtime and gathers better, more in depth data that reflects height, thickness, and angle. Gecko’s teams inspected the full SDA in only 2 short shifts.

Gecko Robotics - Pulverized Coal Inspection

In this video, Gecko Robotics Inspection Teams (GRIT) inspect a pulverized coal boiler without the need for scaffolds. Our robots climb this boiler at a rate of 60 feet per minute, collecting data and reducing downtime by producing an easy to read, color coded map.

Gecko Robotics - Boiler Inspection

Here, we see two robots working to inspect a boiler’s tubes. Two robots are better than one, as they increase inspection speed and decrease downtime by providing full coverage data that reflects height, thickness, tube number, and angle.

In this video, one of Gecko’s inspection robots scans the circumference of a propane tank.
