On Site Thermal Surveys

Thermal surveys can help your business identify if there is any part of your electrical system that is overheating which could pose a risk to the safety of your business.

It is a safe, non-intrusive and non-contact form of survey that can identify problems that may be lurking under the surface, invisible to the naked eye. If there are any defects that are present within your systems a thermal imaging survey will find it.

As it is a non-contact diagnostic tool it offers the advantage of minimal interference with the day-to-day operation of your business. All objects emit infrared energy, this energy can be visualised. All equipment heats up while in service, if there is a potential fault with any of your equipment then the heat gain will be different from the gain it makes when it is operating normally.

A thermal imaging survey can help to locate if any faults are starting to emerge and shows the surveyor a visual image of the temperature of all the electrical and mechanical systems in your business. As the amount of radiation emitted by an object increases with temperature a thermal survey allows the surveyor to see variations in temperature. It will show if there are any thermal flaws in your electrical or mechanical systems that could be a potential fire risk.

As a diagnostic tool it can also help you to take action to prevent a vital piece of machinery breaking down. A thermal image survey can find components that are failing before they fail. For instance, a survey of electrical equipment can identify overloaded circuits, poor connections and deteriorating components.

If potential threats to the system are shown up by the thermal imaging survey it could save your business valuable time and money. Also, thermal surveys can be taken in inaccessible areas or in areas that where it could be hazardous to use other methods. With energy costs increasing a thermal image survey can also help to reduce energy costs by identifying areas of poor insulation. It can also help your business improve its energy efficiency. Thermal surveys provide a predictive form of maintenance to your business. That is, they help your business to see potential problems and threats before they cause a real problem.
