In environments where geometry complexity has traditionally limited inspection, and where data quality is non-negotiable, the Nexxis PowerTrain provides the mechanical power, sensor integration, and data reliability needed to meet modern asset integrity standards.
“With its compact design and ability to navigate tight 1.5D bends and vertical pipe segments, it provides a reliable solution for asset owners to collect quality inspection data.”
Complex Geometry Pipe Inspection Technology
Vertical Travel & High-Torque Performance:
PowerTrain’s robust modular drive system delivers continuous high torque through daisy-chained modules, enabling the robot to climb vertical pipe sections and maintain traction through challenging transitions.
Adaptive Geometry Handling:
With the ability to navigate 1.5D bends in 8” pipe and expand up to 16”, the system maintains consistent movement and stability across a variety of internal geometries, eliminating the need for multiple platforms.
Sensor Payload Integration - Laser scanning and NDT
Mission-Critical Data Delivery:
PowerTrain is equipped with a central rotating body that spins the sensor payload, providing full coverage of a particular section of pipe. This allows for the collection of high-resolution and 3D mapping data, and is interchangeable to include other NDT methods including UT wall thickness measurements. Equipped with HD video stream providing real-time inspection.
The PowerTrain platform provides real-time, high-fidelity data to operators, allowing them to make informed decisions around maintenance, repair, or further diagnostics.
Industry Applications
- Subsea Riser internal inspections.
- Caisson inspections
- Corrosion-resistant Alloy (CRA) Subsea Jumper spools
- Process pipework and corrosion assessments
- J-tube inspections
- Pipes featuring horizontal and vertical bends of 1.5D or greater

Complex Pipe Inspections Simple Solutions
With its compact design and ability to navigate tight bends and vertical pipe segments, along with a working pipe diameter range as low as 150mm and up, the PowerTrain is designed to cover a wide range of pipes on-site.
Custom-Built Drive System: High-grip, torque-optimised track or wheel options ensure reliable traction in slick, vertical, or debris-laden environments.
Smart Integration: Designed to support onboard sensors for video, NDT, or mapping systems, with cable or wireless comms pathways supported depending on mission needs.
Field-Serviceable Design: Engineered for rugged deployment, the modular build allows rapid replacement or reconfiguration of components in the field.
Simple and optimized interface
Location tagging makes it easy to identify the location of any anomalies, and job recording enables thorough tracking of the inspection process.
