How often should thermal scanning be performed?

Industrial equipment should undergo quarterly thermal scanning, particularly for components under high load or in critical operations. Switchboards and electrical distribution systems need bi-annual scans, while general building systems require annual thermal surveys. High-risk areas or equipment with previous issues may need monthly monitoring.

Can imaging detect all types of faults?

Thermal imaging excels at detecting issues that generate heat signatures, including loose connections, overloaded circuits, bearing failures, and insulation problems. However, it cannot identify non-thermal issues like voltage fluctuations or internal wire damage. We recommend combining thermal scanning with other diagnostic methods for comprehensive system assessment.

What areas can be inspected?

Our thermal imaging services cover electrical systems (switchboards, transformers, motors), mechanical equipment (bearings, gearboxes, pumps), building envelopes (insulation, moisture intrusion, air leaks), and process equipment (heaters, coolers, steam systems). We can inspect any area where temperature variations indicate potential problems.

Do you provide emergency services?

Yes, our emergency response team operates 24/7 with a guaranteed 4-hour response time for critical systems. We maintain mobile units equipped with high-resolution thermal cameras and diagnostic equipment for immediate fault detection and assessment.

What qualifications do your technicians have?

Our technicians hold Level 1 Thermography Certification from the Infrared Training Centre (ITC), along with electrical qualifications. They complete annual recertification and advanced training in specific applications like building diagnostics and electrical systems analysis.
