Diversified Inspection Resources offers a variety of sophisticated laser profiling services for both Atex (Class 1 Division II) and Non-Atex environments to assist in the following ways:
Utilizing highly sophisticated Laser Measurement Technology, DIR can geometrically profile the inside of buried pipelines. The captured profile data is analyzed to verify for: proper pipe installations, quality defects, partial collapses, possible erosion or corrosion, remaining pipe integrity or pipe life, potential lining or remediation strategies.
For the LaserScan measurement, the camera is aligned with the inner pipe wall so that the distance to the camera is determined on the basis of two laser points. The entire profile is measured and any deviations in the sewer reach are recorded while the equipment is reversing out of the pipe with the camera simultaneously rotating. The data is then evaluated by the software and output in the form of a report and graphics.
Laser Ring Measurement Software provides pinpoint accuracy so that point repairs can be made, as necessary.
DIR’s use of Laser Measurement Technology detects a wide variety of different problems that can exist within a pipeline such as:
And more…
The software platform is modularly expanded to include the functions of profile analysis and deformation measurement. The data is used to gain insights that go beyond purely optical inspection. The results can be visualized with descriptive graphics and output in individually configurable reports.

Diversified Inspection Resources provides independent, AMPP (formerly NACE International / SSPC) Certified third-party coating inspections, coating consultations, and project management services to ensure protective coating systems are applied in full compliance with project specifications, industry standards, and regulatory requirements. Our inspectors deliver objective oversight throughout surface preparation, application, and curing processes, verifying quality, safety, and long-term asset protection. By identifying issues early and documenting compliance, we help clients minimize risk, reduce rework, and extend the service life of critical infrastructure.
Each of Diversified Inspection Resources Certified AMPP Coating Inspectors demonstrate advanced knowledge and competency in the inspection of protective coating systems. Each certified inspector has completed the AMPP (formerly NACE International / SSPC) Coating Inspector Program (CIP) which includes Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 certifications, covering inspection procedures, surface preparation, environmental monitoring, coating application, testing, documentation, to industry standards such as SSPC, ASTM, and ISO. These certifications ensure each and every inspector is qualified to perform independent, third-party inspections that verify compliance, quality, and long-term corrosion protection.
Diversified Inspection Resources industrial coating inspection services is a structured evaluation of protective coatings applied to industrial assets (such as steel structures, tanks, pipelines, and concrete surfaces). It confirms that the coating system meets the specified standards, was applied correctly, and is performing as intended. It is important because these coatings act as a key defence against corrosion, abrasion, chemical exposure and environmental damage—without proper inspection, the risk of failure, costly repair or downtime increases significantly.
Diversified Inspection Resources offers specialized third-party services focused on the quality assurance and verification of coating systems. This includes reviewing coating specifications, monitoring surface preparations, measuring film thickness, detecting defects (such as pinholes, holidays, and adhesion failures), and producing detailed inspection reports. These services help asset owners ensure contractors meet the required standards and that the protective coating will deliver the expected lifetime.
During an DIR industrial coating inspection, several methods and tools are used:
Recording environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, dew point) and verifying correct surface preparation.
A coating inspection should occur at key project milestones: before coating application (pre-inspection), during application (in-process), immediately after (post-application), and then periodically during service life. The exact frequency of routine inspections depends on asset criticality, the environment, and the coating system. Additional inspections should be triggered by events like visible damage, unexpected environmental changes, asset modification or repair, or any indication of coating performance issues (e.g., corrosion, blistering, delamination).
