Infrared Imaging

Infared Imaging

Alpine Thermal Imaging Systems

Alpine Thermal Imaging Systems with office locations in Dallas Texas and Oklahoma do Infrared Imaging inspections on commercial flat and low slope properties. Thermal imaging is non-invasive and allows us to scan your entire roof quickly. More traditional methods require a grid-type contact search, which is very time-consuming for inspectors who choose to walk a roof for inspections. Using our drone and a FLIR infrared camera to locate areas of moisture intrusion and wet insulation is quick, accurate and inexpensive compared to other methods. Since IR imaging allows problem areas to be located before severe symptoms appear, significant damage can be avoided by catching and addressing issues as they develop.

Thermal Imaging Advantages:

Thermal Imaging is fast and accurate.
We can identify small problem areas before they become larger and with our years of roofing experience can recommend the best way to resolve any issues..
We provide a thorough assessment of and roofing damage or issues.
IR equipment is lightweight and can be carried by our drone.
It provides visual documentation of problems.
It is non-invasive.

How A Roof May Be Damaged

Electrical Panel Thermal Imaging enables us to see these heat sources associated with high electrical resistance well before the circuit becomes hot enough to cause an outage or explosion. Thermal imaging allows us to see the variations of impending damage before the damage can occur.

Some of the examples of potential imbalances that need immediate attention are:

Fuses- Compromised fuses that are hot at one end but not at both ends can be interpreted differently, but both cause phase imbalance.
Wall plugs-Wall plugs are deceptive because they can continue to operate until replaced, making for a real fire hazard.
Circuit panels-The total circuit panel can have overloads and need immediate attention. Circuit breakers can become overheated, and the entire electrical system must be redone.
Electrical Wires-We can determine if anyone wire is hotter than the others. That will help determine if repair is needed. This can indicate not only a serious imbalance and seriously impact the customer’s utility bill.

Literally, hundreds of different pieces of equipment may be found in an electrical system. High voltage distribution, switchyards and substation, service transformers, switch gear, breakers, meters, local distribution, and appliance panels.

Thermal imaging of electrical systems can not only help with maintenance and energy efficiency but can alleviate a potentially very dangerous fire hazard.

Best Weather Conditions For Thermal Imaging

Though the principals involved are the same, detecting moisture intrusion using an IR camera is different for inspecting a roof compared to detecting moisture intrusion at the interior because exterior environmental factors play a larger role in determining whether the data can be accurately collected. We will work with each of our clients to ensure we do a roofing survey at the optimal time in relation to the weather. The best weather conditions for conducting an infrared roof inspection include:
winds of less than 15 mph; sunny and clear conditions on the day prior to the inspection; and a quick decrease in the ambient temperature right before collecting image.
