Thermal Imaging Services
We conduct thermographic inspections across a variety of sites and provide detailed reports with accurate analysis
Electrical Thermal Imaging
Each year, over 1,500 fires in New Zealand are caused by electrical equipment. Our electrical thermal imaging inspections can detect excessive heat build-up and other early warning signs, enabling our clients to perform targeted corrective action before issues escalate. Early detection of faults not only enhances safety but also minimizes downtime, fires, failures, and expensive repairs.
Electrical items we inspect include:
Switchboards, control cabinets, wiring, metering, distribution systems, PFC units
UPS battery back up systems, PV solar arrays, DC systems, generators
Motors, drives, starters, power supplies, harmonic filters
Lighting, sockets, switches, underfloor heating, appliances, chargers
High voltage transformers, transmission lines, switchgear, ripple systems
Common issues we detect include:
Loose connections, poor terminations, corroded contact surfaces, insulation failures
Overheating components such as circuit breakers, fuses, isolators, contactors etc
Faulty cables, joints, and switchgear
Load imbalances in multi phase systems, high resistance components
Excessive heat in cable looms, trunking, and cable management systems
Mechanical Thermal Imaging
Mechanical equipment is essential across various industries. Businesses rely on machinery to create their products, automate processes, reduce labour costs, and maintain high output levels. As part of your preventative maintenance or condition monitoring plan, investing in regular thermal imaging inspections can extend the reliability and life span of machinery, minimize downtime, and prevent costly repairs or replacements.
Mechanical items we inspect include:
All types of production, manufacturing, and process machinery
Conveyors, motors, drive systems, elevators, pumps, palletisers, formers, mixers, fillers, crushers, ovens, hydraulic systems, winches, cranes, robots etc
HVAC units, extraction systems, heat exchangers, compressed air systems, boilers
Common issues we detect include:
Excessive friction due to worn bearings, poor lubrication, components touching etc
Misaligned components - shafts, drive belts, gear sets, motors, rollers etc
Fluid blockages, fluid and gas leaks, poor ventilation
Material degradation, delamination, corrosion, contamination
Building Thermal Imaging
Buildings can develop various issues due to poor construction, installation defects, material degradation, subsidence, extreme weather, and environmental factors. Our thermal imaging inspections can be used in most building types to identify hidden issues and concentrate repairs where they are needed most.
Common issues we detect include:
Water ingress and leaks, trapped moisture, condensation, air leaks
Poor heating/cooling energy efficiency, missing or defective insulation
Cracks and voids in structural components
Delamination of composite materials, roofing, facades
Electrical Periodic Verifications
Many insurance companies require businesses to carry out an electrical periodic verification to Sections 3, 4, or 5 of AS/NZS 3019:2007. This is a comprehensive inspection involving a detailed visual examination of your entire electrical system, as well as limited or full testing such as earth continuity, equipotential bonding, polarity, earth fault loop impedance, insulation resistance, and RCD testing. We can conduct a periodic verification and prepare a detailed report with recommendations and a certificate of verification to meet your insurance requirements.
