The Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for petrochemical inspection will be used in Saudi Arabia for essential ultrasound testing of infrastructure at some of the world’s highest volume petrochemical plants which includes those owned by Saudi Aramco oil. The petrochemical sale is in collaboration with the Tetra / PRT partner Tritex NDT UK.
“The design approach to our overall UAS product platform has yielded the flexibility to allow the company to address the above markets. We believe that these applications will soon extend to offshore oil and natural gas platform inspection, wind farms, and other remote infrastructure locations” stated Carl Cagliarini, Chief Strategy Officer at PRT
“This is a significant step in our company’s growth strategy as we have taken our UAS platform from an R&D phase to revenue generating commercial products.” stated Dana Wheeler, President & CEO of PRT.
