Thermal Imaging

We deliver thermal imaging services for the early detection of potential faults and failure in electrical items.

Most electrical and mechanical faults are preceded by a change in temperature. Regular thermal imaging alerts you to those changes, ensuring your workplace and equipment remains safe and productive.

With early detection and scheduled remedial action you can prevent equipment failure and unplanned shutdowns detrimental to your organisation. Best of all, thermal imaging extends the life of your equipment by tackling potential problems before they emerge.

Our thermal imaging services mean the following benefits:

cost savings
early detection of potential faults
building hazard reduction
no down time
non-destructive.

Regular thermal monitoring enables you to build a detailed condition history of your equipment and tailor a maintenance schedule suited to your business and production schedule.

Thermal Imaging technology can also be used to track any heat-related quantity, including fluid levels, cool room seal monitoring, steam pipe integrity, and more.

About our thermal imaging service

Our thermographers are fully-trained and AINDT-certified, and we utilise forward looking infrared (FLIR) thermal imaging cameras.

The thermal imaging process literally involves taking a ‘heat photograph’ of an object. This involves one of our formally-trained technicians visiting a site and scanning equipment with a thermal imaging camera.

Thermal imaging has a thermal sensitivity of 0.1ºC, and will show if any components, such as electrical switches or connections, are running at elevated temperatures.

Our detailed thermographic surveys cover a comprehensive range of equipment including:

electrical switchboards
electrical motor control cubicles
mechanical services panels
bearing and drive systems
uninterrupted power supply and generator systems
battery systems
storage tanks
cool-room seal integrity
electric motors.

Thermal imaging plays a vital role in the preparation of due diligence reports, insurance applications and in the creation of safer workplaces.

How does it help my business?

Early detection of suspect components may prevent failure, which could result in major plant shutdowns or even electrical fire. For this reason, insurance companies often recommend thermal surveys be conducted on an annual basis.

Additionally, thermal imaging can check mechanical equipment to see if it is running too hot (bearings, for example) and can detect cold air loss in refrigeration systems due to faulty door seals.

Thermal Imaging can:

identify potential safety and fire risks
reduce downtime, repair cost and associated lost production by prediction of electrical equipment failures
pinpoint exact location of faults
surveys can be carried out while your plant is still running
may reduce insurance premiums.

Our clients come from all over the State and as far a field as Wagga Wagga, Albury, Tamworth, Lismore and Broken Hill.

Our thermal imaging staff

Our fully trained thermographers are qualified electricians with the background and expertise to understand the nature of thermal anomalies.

In addition to identifying potentially serious faults, our technicians are able to recommend the most appropriate remedial action.

They also have the ability to access live switchboards unassisted, one call-out is all you need, saving your organisation time and money.
