Infrared Thermography
See heat signatures the eye can’t. Identify failing breakers, loose or high‑resistance connections, overheating motors, bearings, couplings, transformer cooling issues, roof leaks, and process anomalies before they take your equipment down.
Infrared thermography inspection — the non-contact early warning system.
Heat is the universal indicator of equipment trouble. Loose connections, overloaded circuits, worn bearings, blocked process flow — they all show up as anomalous temperature patterns long before they cause a failure. That's why electrical infrared scanning and mechanical thermography are the foundation of any serious predictive maintenance (PdM) program.
Our team uses high-resolution FLIR thermal imaging cameras with optical zoom to safely scan substations, MCCs, switchgear, motors, transformers, and rotating equipment from a safe working distance — and delivers a prioritized, NFPA 70B-aligned report you can act on.

Visual vs. infrared
What the eye misses
The same breaker panel — visually unremarkable, thermally compromised. A single overheating breaker is the difference between a planned repair and a fire.

Beyond electrical
Mechanical & process inspections
Conveyor idlers, motors, gearboxes, couplings, bearings, steam systems, refractory and process piping — all emit heat when something is wrong. We routinely catch overheating bearings, misaligned couplings, and insulation breakdowns long before they become failures.
Bearing running 100°F+ over its neighbors? You have weeks, not months, to act. We tell you which ones.
Why this service pays for itself
Our process
How an engagement runs
Asset list & access plan
We work with your team to identify the equipment in scope, criticality, and the safest way to scan it under load.
On-site IR survey
Energized scanning with calibrated cameras, IR windows where available, and full PPE per NFPA 70E.
Anomaly classification
Each finding is assigned a severity from advisory through critical with delta-T over reference and load context.
Repair & re-scan
Our experienced electrical technicians can repair MCC electrical hotspots or support your in‑house electrical team, then re‑scan to document the correction.
What you get
Deliverables you can act on
Every engagement ends with a clear, prioritized report your team can act on — not a data dump. Findings are tied to specific assets and accompanied by photos and supporting data. We can also perform repairs on identified assets, provide repair quotes, and manage implementation to reduce your team's burden and begin realizing verified savings as each item is corrected.
- Executive summary with critical findings
- Per-asset report card with thermal + visual images
- Severity ratings, delta-T, and load conditions
- Recommended corrective actions and outage scope
- Insurance / NFPA 70B compliance documentation
- Year-over-year trending for repeat customers
