Infrared Thermographic Surveys

INFRARED THERMOGRAPHIC INSPECTIONS ARE EFFECTIVE AND COST-EFFICIENT NDT PROGRAMS

Infrared thermography is one of the most effective and cost-efficient non-destructive testing (NDT) programs available to companies today. These surveys help to detect areas of abnormal temperature, diagnose problem areas and determine their severity in electrical systems and mechanical equipment.

Electrical problems that are not identified, managed, and repaired early-on may cause untimely shutdowns, property losses, increased operating costs, and business interruption. Electrical and mechanical infrared thermographic (IR) inspections are the single most preventative measure a business can implement. In addition, predictive and preventative maintenance programs such as IR can deliver savings many times greater than the amount required for development and implementation.

OUR INFRARED THERMOGRAPHIC SURVEYS INVOLVE:

• COMPREHENSIVE REPORTS

We utilize infrared and airborne ultrasound technology for electrical testing to detect abnormal or unexpected thermal patterns that may cause equipment failure (i.e. “invisible” threats)

• Comprehensive Reports

Our formal comprehensive reports not only locate problems with extreme precision but also recommend cost-effective solutions

• SEVERITY AND IMPACT RATINGS

We provide severity and impact ratings for each finding. This includes a summary of findings, equipment inventory listing, trending and business impact analysis, all of which is made available through our online data management system

• ULTRASONIC TESTING

Ultrasonic testing is an additional tool that enables us to identify critical loss exposures such as internal and external tracking/arcing problems in high voltage equipment that are not detectable when using infrared imaging

• THERMOGRAPHIC IMAGING ANALYSIS

Thermographic imaging analysis is used to diagnose problem areas and determine their impact and severity. It also enables us to pinpoint abnormal temperatures and resolve variances and deficiencies

• IMMEDIATE DELIVERY OF FINDINGS

Clients can access comprehensive on-site reports through our online client data management system. These include a quantifiable operational cost-saving action plan as well as severity and impact ratings for each finding

OUR EXPERTISE HELPS YOU ACHIEVE OVERALL COST SAVINGS BY IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL LOSS EXPOSURES.

A proper infrared thermographic imaging program can deliver savings many times greater than the amount required for development and implementation and can be a critical component of any condition monitoring program. TÜV SÜD Global Risk Consultants (GRC) experts use the latest techniques and infrared and airborne ultrasound technology to provide you with comprehensive reports, severity and impact ratings, ultrasonic testing, arc-flash analysis, thermographic imaging analysis and immediate delivery of findings.
