Power plant outage inspection without the scaffold.
Condensers, steam lines, turbine decks and cooling towers: close visual inspection during the outage, without building access for every scope.
Every visual inspection scope needs its own access.
During an outage, condenser, steam-line, piping, reactor building, turbine deck and cooling tower inspections can each require scaffold-based access before an inspector sees a single surface.
The X1 provides close visual access instead, holding position with LiDAR in GPS-denied spaces and recording 4K video and a 3D point cloud on every flight.
The camera goes in. The technician stays outside.
Through the opening
The compact cage is sized for typical access openings. Send us your opening size and we'll confirm fit.
Steady close-up
LiDAR holds position without GPS, so a first-week operator can park in front of the surface and look. 4K camera, 10,480-lumen light.
A measurable record
Every flight captures a 3D point cloud (.las) tied to the asset's geometry, reviewed and reported in Nolvis X Cloud.
Inspection-grade data for the report.
In one nuclear outage
The X1 replaced scaffold-based access across multiple visual inspection scopes.
Why outages are the right time for a drone
An outage is a fixed window with many scopes competing for the same crews, cranes and scaffold. Every scope that needs access built before anyone can look adds time and cost to the critical path.
With a close visual inspection drone, the team can look first. The X1 flies into condensers, along steam lines and around turbine decks and cooling towers while the inspector watches the live video from outside. Scaffold and entry are then planned only for the spots where the footage shows a repair or a closer check is needed.
The inspector still makes the call. The drone gives them the view, the video record and a 3D point cloud for context.

Power plant outages FAQ
Does the drone replace our certified inspector?
No. The X1 provides access and data; your qualified inspector reviews the footage, documents findings and makes the final assessment.
Will it fit through our access openings?
The X1 is compact and built for typical access openings. Send us the dimensions of your smallest opening and we'll confirm fit.
