Originally developed within the Saudi innovation ecosystem, Infrascan operates from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and works with major industrial operators across the energy and heavy industry sectors. The company focuses on delivering high-quality inspection data, supporting asset integrity management, and enabling operators to make better maintenance and risk decisions across their facilities.
