Thermographic Inspection
Infrared inspections led by an Infraspection Institute Level III Certified Infrared Thermographer®, using FLIR thermal imaging. We find loose connections, overloaded circuits and failing components while the equipment is running, before they cause a shutdown or a fire.
Expert-level thermography.
Our thermographer is certified Level III by the Infraspection Institute, the expert level that builds on Level I and II training. It covers current inspection standards, electrical safety standards, and writing standards-compliant inspection procedures. Your survey is planned, carried out and interpreted by someone qualified to do all three, and you get findings you can act on, ranked by how urgent they are.
Book an inspectionElectrical distribution
Switchgear, MCCs, panelboards, disconnects, transformers and bus duct, inspected under load.
Control panels & drives
VFDs, contactors, terminal blocks, power supplies and breakers inside your control panels.
Motors & rotating equipment
Motors, bearings, couplings, gearboxes and belt drives running hot or out of balance.
Process & mechanical
Steam traps, heat exchangers, refractory, piping and tanks, including insulation loss and blockages.
Annual survey programs
Scheduled plant-wide inspections, with every result kept in our database and compared year over year.
Post-repair verification
A follow-up scan after repairs to confirm the problem is fixed.
Professional-grade FLIR equipment.
We inspect with a FLIR T-Series camera, FLIR's professional line built for industrial electrical, substation and mechanical inspection work.
High-resolution thermal imaging
Enough detail to pick out a single hot lug or breaker from a safe working distance.
Radiometric images
Every pixel stores a temperature, so findings can be measured and re-checked later, not just eyeballed on site.
Thermal and visual together
A matching digital photo with every thermal image, so your team can find the exact component.
Built for long survey days
Ergonomic, field-ready design for inspecting overhead, inside cabinets and around rotating equipment.
Software: inspections, findings and repairs are managed in Thermal Trend Lean® DB, dedicated infrared inspection database software for tracking equipment, problems and repairs over time.
Detailed reports. Every finding tracked.
Every inspection comes with a detailed written report, and every piece of equipment and every finding goes into our Thermal Trend Lean® DB inspection database, so nothing gets lost between surveys.
Detailed report
- FLIR thermal image of every finding
- Matching photo so it's easy to locate
- Equipment, location, load and temperatures
- Severity ranking: repair now, soon, or monitor
- Recommended corrective action
Database tracking
- Managed in Thermal Trend Lean® DB
- Every asset logged by site and location
- Full inspection history for each piece of equipment
- Repairs scheduled as work orders and tracked against what was actually fixed
- Repairs confirmed with a follow-up scan
Trending & records
- Baseline trending of critical equipment
- Year-over-year comparison on repeat surveys
- Equipment that's getting worse flagged early
- Summary for management, insurers and auditors
- Digital copies for your maintenance records
One team from inspection to repair.
Most thermography companies hand you a report and leave. Our electricians and technicians can repair what we find, often during the same planned shutdown.
Plan
We agree on the equipment list and schedule the survey while it's running under normal load.
Inspect
Energized equipment scanned using safe work practices for live electrical work.
Report
A detailed report with every finding ranked by severity, and each one logged in Thermal Trend.
Repair
Our tradespeople fix the problems, on your schedule.
Verify
A follow-up scan confirms each repair worked, and the finding is closed in the database.
