Unveiling Hidden Issues: How Thermography Enhances Building Surveys

Building surveys play a crucial role in assessing the condition of a property, identifying potential issues, and ensuring the safety of its occupants. However, traditional survey methods often fall short in detecting hidden problems that can have serious consequences if left unaddressed. This is where thermography, a non-invasive and highly effective technology, comes into play. Drone Media Imaging utilise the power of thermography and how it enhances building surveys by uncovering hidden issues that may otherwise go unnoticed.

The Power of Thermography: How this Technology Enhances Building Surveys
Thermography, also known as infrared imaging, utilises thermal cameras to capture and analyse the heat patterns emitted by objects and surfaces. This technology enables surveyors to identify anomalies in temperature distribution, which can indicate underlying issues such as insulation problems, moisture intrusion, electrical faults, and structural defects.

By providing a visual representation of temperature variations, thermography enhances the accuracy and efficiency of building surveys. Unlike traditional survey methods that rely on physical inspections or invasive techniques, thermography allows surveyors to assess a building’s condition without causing disruption or damage. This non-destructive approach not only saves time but also reduces costs associated with repairs and remediation. Moreover, thermography can be performed from a safe distance, minimising risks to surveyors and ensuring their safety during the inspection process.

Forest Canopy Survey Using Photogrammetry Techniques

Caterham School Photogrammetry of Forest Trees - Surveying for Chalara Fraxinea – Ash Dieback Last year, we were asked by Caterham School to survey and map their school forest known as Old Parks Wood. Ash trees within the wood were suffering from Chalara Fraxinea (Ash Dieback) a disease which has the potential to kill off 80% of the ash trees in the 45-acre wood and once dead, would quickly become dangerous to wildlife and other users of the woods, including the school pupils. The mission was to map the forest canopy by drone using photogrammetry survey techniques so that the school could get a full understanding of the degree of diseased trees that were present, and then subsequently put in place a management plan in conjunction with the Forestry Commission, Natural England and the local council. Project Background In 2014 the school had bought approximately 140 acres of Old Park Wood – partly to protect it from the threat of development but also to secure its long-term future as a bi...

Hidden Issues with Thermal Imaging During Building Surveys

Beyond the Surface: Discovering Hidden Issues with Thermal Imaging during Building Surveys Building surveys have evolved significantly, thanks to advancements in thermal imaging technology and the transformative impact of thermal imaging during building surveys, uncovering concealed issues that traditional methods might overlook. The Power of Thermal Imaging Thermal imaging enables a deeper understanding of a building’s thermal performance. By capturing infrared radiation, these cameras reveal temperature variations that are invisible to the naked eye. This non-destructive technique is particularly valuable for identifying hidden issues affecting a building’s efficiency and structural integrity. Harnessing thermal imaging technology during surveys provides a comprehensive overview of a building’s insulation, HVAC systems, and potential air leaks. This proactive approach goes beyond the surface, allowing for precise problem detection before they escalate. Unearthing Insulation Deficie...
