Visual and Thermal Building inspection
Our Client was commissioned by a leading Healthcare Organisation to assess the condition of this mixed roof Care Home, before a condition report was submitted to their client.
The main concerns were the continuity of insulation, cold bridging, heat loss and moisture below any of the waterproofing systems on flat and pitched roof areas. Thermal Imaging revealed several areas of concern, especially a large flat roof area with very low U-Value and saturation. 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. A 2D map and 3D Model that can be integrated with BIM and CAD platforms was also produced.
Why do we use 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.
