Infrared Thermal Imaging

Infrared analysis can be used in a variety of situations to detect problems before they become much larger issues. Some examples include:

• Electrical - Infrared studies can be performed as a means to detect potential circuit overload or areas of unusually high electrical resistance, allowing electricians to replace the circuit before failure, eliminating costly downtime or further damage to the electrical system.
• Preventative Maintenance - Thermography can be used in plant maintenance as a form of condition monitoring and predictive maintenance for machines, motors and electrical equipment. By evaluating a machine's temperature signatures when in normal operating conditions, one can perform periodic infrared inspections to detect overheating joints, bearings, etc. in order to avoid costly downtime.
• Building diagnostics - Infrared testing is used to detect heating & cooling loss or moisture problems due to insulation deficiencies, construction defects and air infiltration.

Building Science Technologies engineers (B.Eng) are independently certified as Level 2 thermographers under a scheme validated against ISO 18436. They have extensive field experience and have carried out surveys on some of the largest manufacturing facilities in the country. BST provides a professional and competitive thermography service to industry and building managers alike.
