Equipment Failure & Down Time Is Costly!

The building envelope on commercial & industrial applications is very complex and much different than residential. Many different factors come into play when analyzing larger structures. We cover building envelope interior and exterior, mechicanial, electrical, building controls, HVAC, compressors, etc.

From wood mills to high rises each structure and mechanics are different but similar in some ways. However we always start out the same way, over all envelope, structure, electrical, HVAC, mechanical, all are broken down in sections.

Below you will see a few examples of images that provides a general idea of what we do. Our site does not provide complete reports from our customers. Mainly to protect our clients personal information.

 

This Ammonia line is located in a very large distribution center for the storage of groceries. This is the main supply line that provides ammonia to all the refrigeration of compressors in line. If  there had been a problem in these lines we could have seen it right away.

 

/i//Jet_floor_1.JPG

A private air line company had hired us to conduct a thermal survey on this leer jet. We were at 35000 feet when this image Radiant Thermal Signature was taken. As they had suspected the structure had issues that standard inspections did not catch. The blue Radiant Thermal Signature streak in the thermal image shows extremely cold air under the floor. However the floor has a crack in it that the human eye can not see. Because of the difference between ambient temperature outside and the cabin temperature, it had created condensation.

/i//thermal_3_phase.JPG

This is a three phase panel located in the electrical room of a commercial site. On the thermal image to the left, see the white color on fuse #3. In this case the knife on the copper connection has some corrosion which was causing this circuit to over heat.

/i//thermal_3_phase_electrical.JPG

This is a three phase electrical panel located in the electrical room of a commercial site. On the thermal image to the left, see the white color on fuse #2 shows warmer Radiant Thermal Signature than the other two fuse. The compressor that this 480 volt panel provides power to is un balanced.

480 volt AC switch, operating OK

/i//Thermal_400_hp_motor_1_1.JPG

400 HP motor, was just installed and the owner wants to create a history to watch its performance over time.

/i//thermal_low_voltage.JPG

A bank of low voltage wiring that controls conveyor belts and other switches. Through thermal imagery we could see each connection and show which connections were loose. Then follow up by tightening them down then taking amp draws to insure even amperage across the poles.

/i//thermal_geo_floor_1.JPG

This is an in floor geo thermal heating system to warm the concrete floor. As you can see who ever installed this system did a very poor job.

/i//thermal_radeator.JPG

This is a radiator that is suppied by the under ground geo thermal supply. As you can see in the thermal image the blue color Radiant Thermal Signature shows that there is not any flow of hot water through nearly half of the radiator. It is clogged up. The white colors Radiant Thermal Signature on top and to the right shows very hot, the yellow color is warm.

/i//Thermal_underground_steam_line.JPG

Aerial of an under ground steam line that is buried four feet deep. We were able to see the steam leak with no problem. In the thermal image the red color Radiant Thermal Signature is the steam line, as you can see in the middle of the red it kind of spreads out. If it was not leaking the red line would be very defined.
