Gray, Louisiana – January 4, 2016 – NVI, LLC, Nondestructive & Visual Inspection, officially announces its distribution, deployment and development agreement of a new state-of-the-art technology, “SpotOn®” Remote Monitoring. By teaming with A3 Monitoring through a long term agreement and being the sole provider in the United States, James Cloutier, Chief Executive Officer at the NVI companies, is confident that these systems provides a best in class, reliable, and low cost solution for real time monitoring of pipelines, pressure vessels, liquid storage systems as well as other systems in a high or medium consequence area(s). With deployment of this technology comes a reduction in operating costs, as there will be no need to continually mobilize inspectors to meet compliance, as well as a decrease in costs associated with accessing remote areas. The remote monitoring packages offered are true turnkey, noninvasive solutions geared at achieving regulatory compliance and extending the life of the asset. This new technology will provide sufficient inspection to assets that are subject to the higher probability of corrosion, erosion, stress cracking, leaks, third party damage and or located in high consequence areas such as river crossings, road crossings, and public gathering areas that require more attention. All in the same installation, with a single communication unit and shared software, ultrasonic monitoring (UT), acoustic emissions (AE) and cathodic protection (CP) can all be paired together resulting in a lower overall installation and ongoing monitoring costs. NVI is also capable of offering permanent Guided Ultrasonic long wave installations. The monitoring communications are also customizable according to the best available technology per installation site such as satellite (Iridium), GSM, UMTS, LTE, or fixed site data logging.
