Following the laser safety course, we demonstrated each aspect of laser sampling in our workshop in North Wales so the guys in New Hampshire were able to see exactly how it should be operated before attempting it themselves. Fortunately ViridiScope is very simple to use so they were all able to pass our competency test with flying colours by the end of the day.

As part of the REACH project, Viridian has developed the capability to take samples inside 6” ports Deployments of different tools in complex environments is challenging for operators.
