Visual and Thermal Building inspection

Our Client was commissioned by a large retail chain to survey a number of their stores to undertake roof condition reports and find the cause of water ingress that has been undiagnosed for a number of years.

The main concerns were public safety and loss of retail space on the shop floor. Our Thermal Imaging inspection revealed several areas of concern, especially in the rain water gulley’s and detailing around the roof lights.

A close up hi-res visual inspection was also taken and populated into our annotation report portal, along with a measured roof plan. This combination allows the surveyor to quickly inspect hundreds of images and measure roof areas to assist with accurate cost assessments.

Why do we use a Thermography?

Put simply, is shows us what the naked eye can’t see.
Thermal imaging cameras see heat instead of light and automatically allocate various colours to different temperatures. For example, red is hot and blue is cold. The hottest colour being red/white and the coldest being blue/black.
A well-insulated roof or building in good condition should show consistent temperatures and colours across its surface.

Fast and Cost Effective Benefits

Time: VP has the resources to complete the entire data capture in one day on site, to include daytime visuals, followed by matching evening thermal images. 2-3 days later you will receive a detailed analysis report indicating all defective areas along with links to the portal and map downloads.
Safety: A team of 3 will manage the site operation and safety according to strict CAA safety Regulations.
