Infrared Thermography

At Thermascan2020, we specialise in advanced Infrared Thermography, a powerful non-contact diagnostic tool used to detect anomalies before they lead to equipment failure or safety hazards.

Infrared Thermography is the science of acquiring and analysing thermal information using specialised thermal imaging devices. This non-invasive technology allows us to detect hidden issues such as overheating, component failure, or insulation breakdown without disrupting operations.

Using high-resolution infrared cameras, our technicians identify “hot spots” in panels, distribution boards, substations, motors and more, giving you the insight needed to act before failure occurs.

Key Benefits:

  • Preventative maintenance
  • Prevent/minimise downtime
  • Increase up-time
  • Cost-saving solutions
  • Prevent or minimise equipment failure
  • Increase safety
  • Prioritise maintenance scheduling

How It Works

Non-Invasive Scanning

Equipment is scanned live and under load using thermal imaging cameras.

Thermal Detection

Points of high resistance (“hot spots”) indicate issues such as loose connections, overloads, or component wear.

Expert Analysis

Our certified thermographers analyse the findings and compile a detailed report.

Tailored Reporting

Complete with thermal and visual imagery, severity ratings, and maintenance recommendations.
