Drone Thermal Imaging and Property Inspection

When is the best time to use a Thermal Infrared camera for conducting roof inspections?

UAVs or Drone’s as they are known have the ability to create great aerial photography and videography which has been understood for some times, however, were you aware that they can also be fitted with thermal infrared cameras to add a whole new dimension to property inspections? Thermal imaging cameras provide a non-contact temperature measurement across areas that are hard to access or see from a ground.

The health and safety risks associated with working at height are minimised when using drone technology, as are the risks of causing damage to the structure through the inspection process itself. With UAVs carrying thermal imaging cameras, temperature data is captured in real-time as well as recorded both quickly and accurately with the resulting heat map presented as colour images in both a qualitative and quantitative reporting format. Image analysis and reporting completed by a thermographer appropriately trained and certified, can identify potential fault areas that would have remained hidden to the human eye until serious damage had occurred.

Key Areas to Use a Thermal Drone
- Inspection are Non-Destructive
- Flat Roof Water Ingress Inspection
- Domestic Solar Photovoltaic Panel Inspections
- Commercial Solar Farm Maintenance Inspection
- Flat Roof Surface Failures
- Flat Roof Water Ingress and Leaks
- New Electrical Installations
- Maintenance of Electrical Installations
- Building Insulation Performance
- New Builds Insulation Installtion Faults
- Underground water Leaks
- Underground Heating Pipes
- Landfil Site Underground Fire Detection

In all cases thermal imaging solutions when deployed from a UAV drone, offers a non-destructive, simple, and cost effectively solution to getting infrared analysis from hard to reach and difficult to see places.

Mitigating Fire Hazards and the Importance of Solar Panel Maintenance

Mitigating Fire Hazards – Solar Panel Maintenance Solar panels have gained significant popularity as a renewable energy solution in recent years. With their ability to harness the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity, solar panels contribute to a greener and more sustainable future. However, it is crucial to understand that like any other technology, solar panels require proper maintenance to ensure optimal performance and, most importantly, to minimize the risk of fire hazards. In this blog post, we will explore the reasons why solar panels can catch fire if not adequately maintained. We will delve into the various factors that can contribute to fire incidents, emphasizing the significance of proactive maintenance and regular inspections to mitigate these risks effectively. Electrical Overload and Faulty Wiring One of the primary causes of solar panel fires is electrical overload resulting from faulty wiring. Over time, exposure to environmental factors such as heat, moisture,...

Thermal Bridging in Commercial Buildings

Unveiling the Hidden Costs: Thermal Bridging in Commercial Buildings In the intricate world of commercial building design and construction, one often-overlooked factor plays a crucial role in energy efficiency – thermal bridging. This phenomenon, where heat easily transfers through the fabric of a building, not only impacts the comfort of its occupants but also significantly increases operational costs. The effects of thermal bridging on heat loss and its financial implications for commercial buildings, can be assessed by the itilisation of sophisticated technique of thermal imaging used to identify and mitigate this issue. Understanding Thermal Bridging: Thermal bridging occurs when a conductive material provides a pathway for heat to bypass the insulation, creating a direct route for heat to escape or enter a building. In commercial buildings, common thermal bridges include structural elements like steel or concrete connections, as well as poorly insulated junctions between walls a...

The Drone Based Solar Farm Heat Hunt 🔍

The world is moving towards renewable energy at a rapid pace, and solar farms are leading this transition. However, like any other technology, they come with their own set of challenges. One such challenge is identifying faults and anomalies such as ‘hotspots’ in the solar panels which can cause inefficiencies in energy production. Multiple hotspots, can lead to failing module panels and even whole strings. However, using drone technolegy aliong with thermal camera payloas, detecting these issues is simple and straightforward! In this article, we will explore how drone thermal inspections of solar farms is the new normal. Basking in the Sun: Drone-Powered Solar Farm Heat Hunts! Drones have revolutionised the way we approach solar panel maintenance. With the help of thermal imaging cameras, drones can easily detect hotspots and module and diode failures in solar panels. These faults can occur due to a variety of reasons, such as debris or shading as wells as mechnical failure or a ...
