Asset Integrity Management

Ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of your capital investments in equipment, technology, and other machinery is a critical component to your business’ success. Middough’s expertise in Asset Integrity Management is effectively implemented at any stage of your asset’s life cycle. Our engineers work with you to balance the design implemented, maintenance and the longevity of your assets.

The long-term stability of power plants, oil rigs, refineries and other systems rely on Asset Integrity Management to protect the ability to perform efficiently and effectively. Cost and time are major factors in replacing the infrastructure of assets as they approach the end of their life cycle and become outdated. Middough’s Asset Integrity Management services can be utilized at any part of your asset’s life cycle to work to improve reliability, while assisting in recommendations to best allocate maintenance efforts and repair costs.

Middough’s engineers look to provide solutions that add value to your projects and business or organization. Our team is trained in Asset Integrity Management to identify areas to improve efficiency and reliability, reduce costs, and ensure your assets and processes are meeting safety standards. Our team has decades of successful experience evaluating and implementing projects and systems across all industries.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems Inspections

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) complement Middough’s engineering, inspection, and data acquisition services for safe, efficient, accurate, reliable, and cost-effective data collection solutions. 

Deploying UAS can greatly reduce safety challenges faced while inspecting difficult-to-access structures and assets such as boilers, cooling towers, ductwork, flare stacks, pipe racks, pipes and insulation, process ponds, solar panels, substations, utility lines, tanks, vessels and so much more.

Middough specializes in the use of UAS and sensors to collect data for the following applications: 

  • Heavy lift, midsized, compact & confined space UAS
  • State-of-the-art sensors
  • DSLR/Mirrorless High MP RGB
  • Radiometric Thermal
  • Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)
  • Optical Gas Imaging (OGI)
  • Ultraviolet (UV) Corona
  • Methane


Benefits of Drone Inspection Services    

  • Increase safety & efficiency
  • Collect actionable data while decreasing risks to personnel
  • Decrease cost of data collection
  • Eliminates confined space entries & working at heights, keeping boots on the ground
  • Reduce/eliminate unnecessary scaffold and manlift expenses
  • Focus time and money only on areas needing hands-on inspection or repair
  • Live stream UAS data to offset subject matter expert
  • Provides additional data capture techniques not offered by traditional methods
  • No preparation or movement of materials/equipment necessary

Middough personnel are certified, trained and qualified to safely operate FAA registered drones and have completed thousands of flights in the utility, heavy industrial, production and manufacturing sectors.

Drone inspection services from Middough deliver a more efficient, cost effective and safer inspection process while continuing operations as normal.

The topography, volumetric, and LiDAR capabilities allow a drone to gather the geo-coordinates of an area to quickly and efficiently for input into modeling software to further expedite a timeline for an information transition. These abilities of a UAS allow an owner to abide by EPA and other regulatory industries with the data available for project planning when needed.

Middough’s survey grade, ground based, 3D Laser Scanning Services can be utilized when accuracy of the highest detail is required for your project.
