No other company offers such a wide variety of borescopes and inspection cameras for rent.

Having an expert staff in the field of remote visual inspection and a wide choice of instruments available allows AIT to help our customers select the best instrument for their particular inspection. Other rental companies have little knowledge of the remote visual inspection equipment they rent and do not have a sufficient inventory properly help most inspection requirements. Instead they simply rent the same borescope regardless of the inspection

Videoscope Rental Equipment Inspects Industrial Plastics Press

A plastics bag manufacurer recently needed to shut down production on a massive plasitc press that made common house hold garbage bags. The press had developed a leak in a channel that forced the shut down. The only way to view the location and determine the exact source of the leak was with a videoscope that was rented for this specific purpose.

Click to View Videoscope Rental Equipment

The videoscope rental equipment arrived at the customers location the next morning and was used to snake down the channel to locate the exact location of the leak. The plastics manufacturer was able to capture images of the remote inspection done on the massive press with the videoscope rented for future reference. One time emergency inspections that require videoscopes to inspect remote locations make renting the logical choice. The customer is able to pick from a wide variety of videoscopes to best complete their inspection at a fraction of the cost of owning equipment.

Advanced Inspection Technologies(AIT) was proud to be able to provide video borescope rental equipment to Ad Astra Rocket to conduct an inspection of their new rocket technology. AIT has the most advanced video borescopes available for short and long term rental to customer through out North America. The rocket that the borescope rental was used to inspect was an advanced plasma rocket.

The Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket (VASIMR®) represents the future of translunar and interplanetary transportation as well as propulsion within Earth orbit. Its superb efficiency compared to that of a conventional chemical rocket allows double the payload mass for lunar delivery and half the transit time to Mars. Its robust design allows much greater power levels than existing electric propulsion systems and promises longer lifetimes.

California Burrowing Owl

Borescope rental is available for viewing the Burrowing Owl, a California Species of Special Concern isn’t your average owl: it doesn’t live in trees, and it’s not nocturnal. It makes its nest underground — usually in abandoned rodent burrows — and is active both day and night. But human population explosion has reduced the charismatic western burrowing owl’s breeding populations by more than 60 percent, presumably in response to loss of habitat to urban development, ground squirrel control efforts, and intensive agriculture practices.

In California a pipe line is proposed to be constructed and would go through an area that is inhabited by the California burrowing owl. In order for the pipe line project to be built the owls that inhabit the area will need to be relocated. The owls can only be relocated if it is proven that they are not currently nesting with eggs waiting to hatch.

In order to determine the nesting situation of the owls it was determined that a borescope could be inserted into the nests and visually view the condition of the nest. If no eggs were detected using the borescope then the owls could be recollected and the pipe line project could continue. Advanced Inspection Technologies was asked to provide borescope rental equipment to inspect the nests. The borescope rental was a cost effective way to inspect the nests with the most advanced remote visual inspection equipment available.

Modern Flexible Video Borescope

Recently, Advanced inspection Technologies (AIT) was pleased to be involved with restoration work of the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, AL. AIT provided a flexible video borescope rental to inspect the interior plumbing of the memorial. Engineers rented the video borescope from AIT to snake through a pipe that normally delivers water to the memorial to conduct a remote visual inspection.

Engineers used the video borescope rental equipment to navigate and the length of the pipe and check the interior condition. The video borescope they rented from AIT to inspect the civil rights memorial was able to easily navigate the pipe line and help engineers determine that the interior condition was good. Without the assistance of AIT’s video borescope rentals there would of been no way to inspect the interior condition of the memorial without tear down of the structure.

Flexible Video Borescope Equipment Rented From AIT Inspects the Civil Rights Memorial

The Civil Rights Memorial honors the achievements and memory of those who lost their lives during the Civil Rights Movement, in the United States. Created by Vietnam Veterans Memorial designer Maya Lin. the striking black granite memorial is located across the street from the Southern Poverty Law Center's office building in Montgomery, Alabama. The Memorial is just around the corner from the church where Dr. King served as pastor during the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955-1956, and the capitol steps where the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march ended in 1965.

The circular fountain provides a timeline of important events in the civil rights movement, beginning in 1954 with the Supreme Court decision to integrate American schools (Brown vs. the Board of Education) and ending with Dr. King's murder in 1968. It also records the names of 40 men, women, and children who lost their lives working for social justice. A thin pool of water flows over this circular table.

Advanced Inspection Technologies (AIT) is a leader for rentals of videoscopes, video borescopes, pipe inspection cameras and infrared cameras. Throughout the years AIT's video borescope rental equipment has been used to solve a variety of inspection application. Architectural and historic borescope inspections are always interesting to be involved in.
