Structural Inspections with Infrared
Infrared, is a proven noninvasive technology, which locates defects quickly and efficiently. Infrared thermography discerns infrared energy emitted from an object, converts it into a temperature, and displays an image of the temperature emitted. This inspection process identifies voids in the structure as well as moisture and the pattern of heat flow. These properties are then assessed to determine the integrity of the building. This technique is important for inspection because it does not require a sample of the building and does not damage the object or structure in any way while providing a look at the conditions and heat flow of a building.
Thermal Imaging Inspection Services
Our services are requested for many reasons:
- Peace of mind: Increase fire safety while reducing maintenance and downtime costs.
- Insurance requirements.
- Eliminate the guesswork of hiring the wrong specialist to make needless and expensive repairs.
Our vast thermal imaging inspections services ensure your operations are working properly.
Thermal imaging inspections just isn’t about finding problems. It’s also about peace of mind.
Building Safety Testing
An infrared survey can help keep small issues from becoming disasters. Repairing a loose connection– easily found with a thermographic scan – might cost only $100. If undetected, that same connection could result in a fire. That might mean injury, loss of life or damage that makes the whole building unfit for occupancy and shuts your business down.
Thermographic scans are a wise investment. Industry sources show that the monetary savings they produce can be 20 times as much as the initial cost of the survey. This does not include the potential losses due to damage associated with fire.
Ready to Get Started?
Our Goal is to provide the scans, surveys, inspection, and detection services you need to locate issues that have the potential to cause major damage resulting in costly repairs.
Bridge Safety
Infrared Thermography (IT) is a technique used for locating shallow delaminations, cracks, and voids in concrete and other pavements as well as air gaps and voids within concrete slabs, block walls, and other structures. Infrared Thermography senses the emission of thermal radiation from a member and can be used to produce a 2D image from the thermal signal. It is based on two basic principles from heat transfer: conduction and radiation. Sound concrete with no voids, gaps, or cracks is more thermally conductive than low density or delaminated concrete, which then creates small temperature differences on the concrete surface. These temperature differences can be detected and mapped by the sensitive Infrared Thermography equipment. This allows rapid areal mapping of internal conditions. It should be noted that the IT method is most useful for the detection of shallow defects and flaws. Flaws deeper in a structure produce smaller and more diffuse thermal effects at the surface.
Qualified & Experienced Team
PIET Price Industries Energy Transfer is a team of commercial Concrete & Infrared Building Testing inspection experts with over 55 years of experience. We help building owners/managers and resolve issues related to Structural Testing, Building Safety Testing, Bridge Safety, Hospital Building Testing, Structural Engineering all with our infrared thermal testing. Our highly trained experts have the know-how to solve complicated building issues.
Hospital Building Testing
Increase safety and eliminate unnecessary energy waste by utilizing infrared building inspections. Structural deficits, like trapped moisture, can go unnoticed without the proper equipment. Through this non-invasive method, infrared camera inspections can catch problems that are undetectable otherwise. Infrared building inspections identify moisture leaks, compromised insulation, and air leaks. Some inspections can also be completed from a distance with our infrared drone roof inspections for added convenience. Our infrared camera roof inspections are cost-effective, thorough, efficient, and can help prevent future costly projects, allowing you to be proactive rather than reactive.
