What We Do
Inspection Services
From aerial drone surveys to subsea ROV operations — we deploy the right technology for every inspection challenge.
Drone Visual Inspection
UAV-based inspection of offshore platforms, bridges, wind farms, and industrial structures. Offshore-certified pilots with high-resolution imaging and real-time data delivery.
Learn more →ROV Underwater Inspection
Remotely Operated Vehicle inspections for subsea structures, pipelines, mooring systems, and hull assessments — without diver intervention.
Learn more →
Confined Space
Safe inspection of tanks, vessels, pipes, and enclosed structures using specialised drone technology — keeping personnel out of hazardous spaces.
Learn more →LiDAR & 3D Scanning
High-accuracy 3D point cloud generation for as-built documentation, structural deformation analysis, volumetric measurements, and digital twin creation.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our inspection services and how we operate.
What inspection services does Osprey Inspection offer?
+
Osprey Inspection offers drone (UAV) visual inspection, ROV underwater inspection, LiDAR 3D scanning, confined space inspection, thermography, wind turbine inspection, and GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) with drone for offshore oil & gas platforms, renewables, aquaculture and industrial facilities in Norway.
Is Osprey Inspection ISO 9001 certified?
+
Yes. Osprey Inspection is ISO 9001:2015 certified, ensuring all inspection services are delivered within a structured quality management system meeting international standards. We are also EASA certified for drone operations in both the Specific and Open categories.
Does Osprey Inspection work on offshore oil and gas platforms?
+
Yes. We have extensive experience conducting inspection operations on offshore installations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, using offshore-certified drone pilots and ROV operators. All personnel hold BOSIET, HLO, and other required offshore safety qualifications.
What is LiDAR scanning used for in industrial inspection?
+
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) scanning creates highly accurate 3D point clouds of structures, enabling as-built documentation, structural deformation analysis, volumetric measurements, and digital twin creation for offshore platforms, industrial plants, and civil infrastructure.
Can you inspect confined spaces without sending personnel inside?
+
Absolutely. We use specialised inspection drones and camera systems designed for confined space operations. This allows thorough inspection of tanks, vessels, pipes, and other enclosed structures without exposing personnel to hazardous environments — fully compliant with relevant Norwegian safety regulations.
Where does Osprey Inspection operate?
+
We operate across all of Norway including onshore industrial facilities nationwide and offshore on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). We can also mobilise for international projects on request.
