Our systems and equipment allow you to see the invisible risk in your environment.

We specialise in independent infrared thermal imaging inspections, which includes delivery of our next day, plain-english high quality reports. These can be used to meet your insurance or compliance obligations, as well as contribute to a compliance or preventative maintenance programme.

• Your insurer has requested an infrared scan as part of your insurance renewal. Do you know why?
• Insurers will typically expect a thermal imaging scan every 12 months as part of an annual insurance renewal.

• 80% of electrical faults are invisible to the human eye. We can help you identify a fault in your premises right now before it results in an expensive outage, fire or electrocution.

• Regular inspection frequency (such as quarterly or 6 monthly) is the key to reducing operational losses. A regular preventative maintenance inspection can reduce emergency call outs.
• We can detect faults before they become more serious.
• It is much cheaper to tighten a nut or screw than replace a burnt out component or extinguish a fire.
• A thermal scan can help to identify the type and location of a problem, so the necessary replacement parts can be obtained and held ready for repair.

As one of Sydney’s largest independent infrared thermography companies, Thermal Insight® employs fully licensed electricians who have been trained in thermography to AINDT Standards Level 1.

We pride ourselves on our specialisation and independence. We are dedicated to providing thermography services, we do not perform any electrical maintenance work. That dedication to thermography means we are experts in our field, and do not suffer any conflicts of interest that exist if undertaking both thermographic inspections and electrical maintenance.

With thermography accredited licensed electricians regularly travelling throughout all regional areas and partners in other states and New Zealand, Thermal Insight® services both national contracts as well as small, family-owned businesses.

Thermal Insight® is a member of the Australian Professional Thermography Association and the National Electrical and Communications Association.

Thermal imaging is sometimes referred to as thermal scanning or infrared scanning. These terms are interchangeable, they all mean the same thing.

The basis of thermal imaging is formed by a comparison of temperatures tested against other temperatures observed in surrounding or similar components. These variations in temperature often reveal some sort of abnormal operation which can often be caused by defective or failing components.

Thermal Insight® uses state of the art infrared cameras that can be used across a variety of applications – from checking insulation on the walls and ceilings of cool rooms, to inspections inside high-temperature furnaces and energy intensive Data Centres.

The first image shows a photo of a service fuse in a factory in Botany. The board is located in an area that is not often visited by staff and unlikely to be noticed. A critical piece of equipment was running on this circuit.

The infrared inspection showed that this component was faulty, running at 178 degrees celsius, with the potential for an immediate outage or worse.

The tenant’s electrician sourced a replacement part, and arranged an orderly shutdown of the plant that same evening and had the component replaced. Despite the severity of the fault, the tenant experienced no downtime.

This image in a Data Centre shows the connections to a Motor Starter are faulty. This was discovered as the thermal imaging inspection was timed to be completed when undertaking a generator test at the Data Centre. You’ll note that the fault is not apparent when looking with the naked eye.

A normal thermal imaging inspection would not have identified this fault, it would only present itself when the Data Centre was running on generator power.

The operator of the Data Centre was able to replace the faulty part, and with confidence know the Data Centre would operate effectively in the event that generator power was required.
