Thermographic Surveys

Calbarrie invests in intelligent protection from electrical and fire risk for your business or building. Thermographic surveying is at the forefront of the latest technology in this field.

What is it?

A thermal imaging camera identifies ‘hotspots’ in electrical assets like distribution boards and switchgear. The non-intrusive fault-finding survey is undertaken when you are at your busiest, in order to assess equipment performance when under maximum load – the time when you need it most and when it is most likely to fail.

Why do I need it?

Heat build-up is an indication of an electrical fault that can be caused by poor mechanical connections, poor electrical contact, circuit overloading, inadequate ventilation or broken parts in the equipment itself. By locating the problem quickly, you are better placed to reduce the risk of fault, fire and a costly disruption to your business.

Electrical units can be interrogated without the need to shut them down, saving you both time and money.

This service should be used to support an existing inspection and testing regime and not to replace it.
