Thermography

Electrical Engineers are specialists in the use of thermographic cameras and, most importantly, are experts in how to interpret the data and images they produce. Thermography adds an extra dimension to the visual inspection of electrical distribution systems. The thermographic camera assists in determining whether an electrical circuit is healthy, deteriorating or at a dangerous level.

The camera is used to detect unseen ‘hotspots’ that might lead to electrical failures and have the potential to start a fire. Assessments can be carried out on a building’s electrical distribution, specific plant or parts of the installation. Once the inspection is completed, a detailed report on our findings will be sent to our client, with clear recommendations about what actions need to taken in order of priority.

Qualified Thermographers will carry out assessments all over the UK and across mainland Europe. The main thermographic service is to the electrical wiring system but, we can also use the technology for other applications, such as detecting unacceptable levels of heat in rotating machinery. Meaning our clients will always have access to a fast and efficient service for detecting problems with electrical plant and circuits before they spark a major incident.

We can provide our clients with a whole new level of support.
