What is FOSAR?

Applied Technical Services performs foreign object search and retrieval (FOSAR), a specialized inspection service for the retrieval of lost items within industrial equipment. During maintenance, tools or debris can become lost in inaccessible places. These items could cause impact damage, excessive vibration, equipment inoperability, or blockages. Disassembling equipment, enlisting divers, or performing confined space entry could be expensive and potentially hazardous options. ATS uses remote visual inspection (RVI) technologies to perform FOSAR, retrieving the lost items in a safe and efficient manner. We offer FOSAR services for a variety of equipment, such as:
