With every project, we stand by our commitment to excellence—because our business is built on trust, and focused on quality.

Headquartered in South Louisiana, Foley proudly serves clients nationwide with a commitment that goes far beyond the worksite. We know that in critical industries, downtime isn’t an option—which is why we're available 24/7, ready to respond when you need us most. Whether it’s an emergency inspection or long-term project support, we’re here to keep your operations running safely and reliably. From complex industrial environments to remote locations, Foley provides scalable inspection services tailored to your needs—no matter where you operate.

Our Core Services:
  • Drone Inspections – Safe, efficient access to hard-to-reach areas with high-resolution data capture.
  • API/AWS Inspections – Compliant evaluations aligned with API 510, 570, and 653 standards.
  • Nondestructive Examination (NDE) – A full range of traditional and advanced methods for accurate, non-invasive testing.
  • Reality Capture – High-precision 3D scanning and imaging for digital twins, planning, and analysis.

Whether you're overseeing routine maintenance, tackling a large-scale expansion, or responding to an unexpected failure, Foley brings the tools, technology, and expertise to help you make informed decisions. Our clients are more than customers—they’re partners. We listen, adapt, and deliver solutions tailored to your goals, timelines, and regulatory requirements. When you work with Foley, you gain a responsive team you can count on—any time, day or night.

Work Smarter, Not Harder.

We combine the latest advancements in unmanned robotics and drone technology with proven inspection practices to deliver safer, faster, and more detailed results—especially in hard-to-reach or hazardous environments. Our drone systems enhance traditional inspection techniques by providing high-resolution imagery, thermal data, and real-time visibility without the need for scaffolding, confined space entry, or costly shutdowns.

But we also recognize that drones aren’t always the right solution for every inspection. That’s why we offer a full suite of advanced inspection services, including Automatic Ultrasonic Testing (AUT), Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC), Guided Wave, and Surface Eddy Current inspections—ensuring we can adapt to the needs of any asset, site, or challenge.

All of our inspection methods are conducted in strict accordance with API standards (including API 510, 570, and 653), helping you maintain compliance while improving operational safety and efficiency.

Key Advantages:

  • Eliminate Confined Space Entry
    Inspections of tanks and vessels without exposing personnel to hazardous environments.
  • Reduced Work-at-Height Risk
    Eliminates the need for scaffolding or rope access on elevated assets.
  • Minimal Downtime
    Fast deployment with little to no interruption to operations.
