Why Valkim

Built to Outpace
Legacy Inspection

Certified robots. Zero human entry.

Legacy inspection means a permit, a shutdown and a person going into a space no one should enter. Valkim Technologies replaces your crew with certified robots, engineered for tanks, pipelines and more.

Real problems. Brighter solutions.
Valkim's robotic inspection kept our tanks in service and our people off the roof — the integrity data was in our hands days earlier than a conventional entry would have allowed.

Human vs Robot

Traditional inspection vs Valkim robotic inspection

Dimension
Traditional inspection
Valkim robotic inspection
Personnel exposure
Confined-space / roof entry required
✓ Zero human entry into hazardous zone
Asset downtime
Days to weeks (drain, degas, scaffold)
✓ Inspect live — no shutdown
Inspection speed
Slow, manual, weather-dependent
✓ Faster, repeatable, on-demand
Data quality
Handwritten notes, low-res photos
✓ Streaming HD video + UT + corrosion data
Cost per inspection
High (mobilisation + lost production)
✓ A fraction of conventional cost
Safety certification
PPE-dependent
✓ ATEX/IECEx Zone 0 certified

Featured Use Case

Keep The Tank In Service.Keep The Human Off The Roof.

In-service crawler inspection across Port of Rotterdam tank farm.

Manual inspection of 40+ storage tanks created downtime and HSE exposure.
Deployed ATEX Zone 0 crawler fleet for in-service ultrasonic mapping.
Reduced inspection time by 62% and eliminated confined-space entry.
