INTRODUCTION

We are pleased to be in a position to leverage this experience to help evolve the way we do business with our clients to elevate safety, quality and efficiency during this difficult time.

Our Remote Inspection services enable us to:  

  • Keep our employees and customers safe by eliminating direct contact and adhering to social distancing best practices
  • Keep critical tasks moving forward in the face of travel restrictions and site access restrictions

We do not anticipate that this will be a temporary workaround in the face of COVID-19. We strongly believe in the long term value of these digital platforms and in their potential to change how inspection services are executed. 

The circumstances we are faced with as a society will be a catalyst to help drive the adoption of the new service, but once the ease of use and value creation is experienced first hand, we project that it will become a standard component of inspection programs.
