Advancements in Infrared Thermography

IRT has evolved far beyond its conventional role as a tool for identifying defects. Through pioneering innovations by IRT Surveys, thermal imaging cameras now possess the capability to quantify images for energy loss. The integration of interactive software enables swift benchmarking and solution road mapping, empowering us to offer up-to-the-minute, cost-effective advice to our clients.

Practical Applications

The CPD session delved into practical applications across various sectors, showcasing real-life examples and case studies. From predictive maintenance to flat roofing and underfloor heating assessments, the versatility of thermal imaging in defect diagnosis and energy efficiency planning was vividly demonstrated.

Empowering Decision-Making

One of the key takeaways emphasized during the training was the importance of basing decisions on factual data rather than sales pitches. By leveraging thermal imaging technology, we can provide our clients with impartial, evidence-based recommendations, ensuring informed decision-making that prioritizes efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Quality Assurance and Predictive Maintenance

The session highlighted the role of thermal imaging in quality assurance, particularly in flat roofing installations. By conducting surveys before and after refurbishments, we can assure clients of the quality of workmanship and identify any potential issues early on. Moreover, in predictive maintenance, infrared thermography emerges as a proactive tool for detecting equipment malfunctions, preventing downtime, and optimizing asset lifespan.
