Global Drone Inspection to take on specialist demand for drone and ROV services from RIMS BV

GDI will sit alongside RIMS, but with a different service portfolio offering. GDI will provide all the services around inspections of assets by drones and ROVs, including 3D modelling, while RIMS will continue to support clients with the development and integration of new technologies within their maintenance strategies.

David Knukkel, CEO, GDI & RIMS said: “With GDI, we aim to provide a centre of expertise in remote inspection technology which can be easily found by clients who need a specialist in this domain.

“GDI will build on the experience and success of RIMS which was set up in 2015. In last five years RIMS has brought the drone service to a professional level, and were the first maritime Class Approved service provider, supporting surveyors with the inspection of ship structures, mobile offshore units and confined spaces using Remote Inspection Technology, and it is our intention to replicate this level of success for GDI.”

GDI will be looking to strengthen its portfolio in line with future trends through partnership creation with well recognised partners and service suppliers, offering a total solution for inspections, NDT-measurements (non-destructive testing), presentation of information and repairs.
