Can one platform cover more than one scenario?
Yes — the wellhead response platform, for example, handles both fire suppression and precise wellhead positioning. The configuration changes more than the machine itself.
Solutions by scenario
The scenario decides the configuration, not the other way around
Four recurring situations drive most of the requests we get. Here's how each one actually plays out on site, and which platform answers it.
Fire suppression
Sustained suppression without putting a crew in the heat
A tank fire or a burning pipe rack doesn't wait for a safe approach distance to open up. The long-range and dual-monitor suppression platforms hold position at a safe standoff and keep a stream on the source for as long as the incident needs, while the crew runs the operation from outside the exposure zone.
- Sustained water/foam delivery, single long-throw monitor or twin independently-aimed monitors
- Operation through smoke, radiant heat and falling debris
- Cooling support for adjacent tanks and structures
Wellhead
Getting close to a wellhead that's still live
Before anything can be capped or shut in, someone has to get next to the valve assembly and assess it — and that's exactly the moment you don't want a person standing there. The wellhead response platform handles the careful approach: stabilizer legs out, mast and grapple positioned, full visual feedback to the operator console.
- Controlled approach to flowing or damaged wellheads
- Stabilized positioning for valve and flange work
- Live camera feedback for the remote operator
Reconnaissance
Knowing what's in the room before anyone opens the door
Smoke, an unknown gas reading, a structure that might not be sound — these are exactly the conditions where guessing is expensive. The confined-space inspection unit goes in first: camera, thermal imaging and gas detection feeding back in real time, so the entry decision is based on data, not assumption.
- Live video and thermal imaging from inside the hazard zone
- Continuous multi-gas monitoring before entry
- Narrow profile for corridors, stairwells and tight access
Remote work
Heavy hands, no exposed person
Demolition, clearing collapsed structures, handling contaminated material — this is work that needs force and reach, not finesse, and it's exactly the kind of task where keeping a person off the ground matters most. Five chassis options cover everything from a tunnel-width corridor to a long-boom dismantling job.
- Hydraulic hammer, shears, grapple and drilling attachments
- Operation in contaminated, radiation-affected or extreme-temperature sites
- Chassis sized to the access constraint, not the other way around

Questions we get
Matching a scenario to a platform
Our facility doesn't fit neatly into one of these four scenarios — what then?
Most sites combine two or three of them (a refinery has both fire risk and confined-space inspection needs, for instance). The scenario review on the Process page is where we work out the actual mix.
Do you assess the site before recommending a configuration?
Yes — scenario review is the first step of how we work, not an afterthought. See the full process for what that review covers.
Can the same equipment be reconfigured later for a different scenario?
Within a platform's category, often yes — attachments, cameras and sensor packages can be swapped. Moving a platform to a completely different category (e.g. reconnaissance to heavy demolition) usually means a different chassis.
