Infrared Scanning

Infrared scanning, also known as infrared thermography or thermal imaging, is a non­-contact, non-destructive method of capturing and visualizing the infrared radiation emitted by objects. Infrared scanning allows our team to locate your in floor heating components to ensure that they are not damaged during the course of your project.

Ways we put infrared scanners to use:

  • To reduce the risk of workplace accidents and create a safer environment for workers.
  • Before cutting to detect hidden electrical conduits, plumbing, or other utility lines to avoid accidental damage.
  • To avoid costly repairs or project disruptions caused by cutting through hidden utilities or structural elements.
  • To evaluate the concrete before renovation work, ensuring a clear understanding of what lies beneath the surface.
  • To ensure adherence to construction and safety codes by identifying critical components that must remain intact during cutting.

Benefits of infrared scanning:

  • Identifies abnormal heat patterns in machinery and electrical systems before failure occurs.
  • Ideal for inspecting delicate or hazardous components without causing damage.
  • Enables inspections in low-light conditions and through smoke, dust, or certain materials.
