Infrared Thermography

Infrared thermography, thermal imaging, and thermal video are examples of infrared imaging science. Thermal imaging cameras detect radiation in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum (roughly 9000–14,000 nanometers or 9–14 µm) and produce images of that radiation, called thermograms. The amount of radiation emitted by an object increases with temperature; therefore, thermography allows one to see variations in temperature. When viewed through a thermal imaging camera, warm objects stand out well against cooler backgrounds.

• The location of energy loss or draughts due to damaged or absent insulation.
• Locate water leaks in plumbing / roofing.
• Identifying areas of air leakage.
• Identifying moisture ingress.
• Identifying thermal bridges and areas of reduced temperature.
• The location of hidden pipework. e.g. underfloor heating pipes.

Measured Building Surveys

If you need a measured building survey or even several measured building surveys, you have come to the right place. If time is of the essence, or clients time constraints are limited on site, we can accommodate you.

Whether your survey project is large or small, we can accommodate your requirements. We have vast experience of measured surveys, everything from apartment blocks, and flats, to churches, embassies and supermarkets and shopping malls and have carried out measured survey programmes encompassing hundreds of properties. A schedule can be drawn up to suit you!

Surveys are conducted using a hand-held Laser Measure ( Leica Disto A6 or Hilti PD38) coupled via ‘Bluetooth' technology to a hand-held microcomputer. This approach, which produces the CAD drawing during the survey process, allows us to establish and accurately check all building dimensions while on site. Significant improvements in survey quality are gained using this equipment when compared with traditional survey methods.

A precision of ± 5mm over 100 metres is achievable with this equipment - giving a normal working accuracy of ± 25mm between any two points after building tolerances have been taken into account.

Gone are the days where two men would hold a sagging tape measure from one end of the room to the other, that old method is history!

NO more return visits to site due to blunt pencils and inaccurate paper documentation, NO guesswork, NO wrong data documentation, NO sagging tape measures.
