4. TARGET MARKET SECTORS
All types of organisations use our
Engineering Inspection Service but
we find most enquiries come from
the following sectors:
• Construction
• Manufacturing
• Food and drink
• Retail
• Logistics
• Power generation and distribution
• Hospitals and care homes
• Hotels
• Public buildings
• Schools, colleges and universities
• Agricultural and horticultural
• Defence
When a giant engineering contractor with multiple locations and an unprecedented
quantity of plant, machinery and installations decided to outsource all statutory
inspections, the sheer scale of the project reverberated throughout the industry.
Unfazed by the size of the task, our Engineering Inspection team worked with the client
to develop bespoke procedures to ensure the contract ran smoothly and efficiently.
We approach all projects, large or small, in the same way.
Careful planning and flexibility was the key to delivering an inspection service on such
a large scale, especially when many of the inspections had to be carried out in busy
working environments. Visits had to be arranged well in advance and our Engineer
Surveyors had to fit in with the client's specific health and safety requirements. We
placed a lead Engineer on site to work in partnership with the client, taking care of
the day-to-day management of the contract. This detailed involvement made sure
our inspection services were delivered as efficiently as possible.
Efficient delivery whatever thelocation

7. OUR APPROACH HAS REAL VISION
Fire or business interruption resulting from an electrical
system failure is a real concern for your clients. You can take
away the worry by recommending our thermographic risk
assessment. This service is a great way to see beyond what
is visible to the naked eye and is fast becoming essential for
any business wishing to have a robust risk management
programme in place. It provides reassurance that every
possible step has been taken to minimise potential claims
losses by flagging problems before they develop into
something more serious. Your clients will be pleased to hear
that the benefits of a thermographic risk assessment far
outweigh the relatively low cost of providing this service.
8. RISK MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Our Electrical Engineers are specialists in
the use of thermographic cameras and,
most importantly, are experts in how to
interpret the data and images they produce.
Thermography adds an extra dimension
to the visual inspection of electrical
distribution systems. The thermographic
camera assists in determining whether an
electrical circuit is healthy, deteriorating or
at a dangerous level.
We use the cameras to detect unseen
'hotspots' that might lead to electrical
failures and have the potential to start a
fire. Assessments can be carried out on a
building’s electrical distribution, or just
specific plant or parts of the installation.
After we have completed our inspection,
we send your client a detailed report on
our findings with clear recommendations
about what actions they need to take in
order of priority.
Our team of qualified Thermographers
carry out assessments all over the UK and
across mainland Europe. While judging the
integrity of an electrical wiring system is
the main thermographic service we offer,
we can also use the technology for various
other applications, such as detecting any
unacceptable levels of heat in rotating
machinery. This means your clients will
always have access to a fast and efficient
service for detecting problems with
electrical plant and circuits before they
spark a major incident.
Now you can add value to your broker
offering through our Thermography
Services. Together we can provide your
clients with a whole new level of support.
THERMOGRAPHIC
RISK ASSESSMENT
30-40%
30-40% of all large fire losses are
the result of electrical failures.
Thermographic cameras find
'hotspots' in electrical circuits that
might start a fire if left unrepaired.
THERMOGRAPHIC RISK ASSESSMENTS
• Whole buildings
• Individual items of plant
• Evaluation of repair work or
new installations
FULLY AUDITED REPORTS
• Analysis of all electrical components
surveyed
• Benchmarks for future inspections
• Prioritised action lists
• All thermographic images included
SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC/WIND FARMS
• Thermographic cameras can also be
used to analyse solar photovoltaic
cells and electrical components of
wind turbines
RISK BASED INSPECTION SERVICES
• Support with extending an electrical
inspection regime
• Support with specific client
requirements
9. TARGET MARKET SECTORS
All types of organisations use our
Thermography Service but we find
most enquiries come from the
following sectors:
• Industrial premises
• Commercial buildings
• Schools and universities
• Hospitals and care homes
• Residential (thatched roof and
high value properties)
• Leisure centres
• Hotels and restaurants
• Public houses and nightclubs
• Public buildings
• Wind farms
• Horticultural and agricultural operations
• Defence
When the risk is high we have the solution
When the owners of a large retail store asked us to carry out a Thermographic
Risk Assessment, we were only too pleased help. Given the number of shoppers
visiting the site, our client needed additional peace of mind following the visual
inspection of the building's electrical system. Their fears were well founded.
Our survey revealed a serious connection issue inside a control panel that was
supplying electricity to new equipment that was under a year old. We discovered
several components and cables had already melted. Without prompt remedial
action there would have been a serious risk of a fire. This could have had
devastating consequences in a busy department store.

We recently provided support for a crane installation in Uganda that had been damaged while out on hire in Kuwait. The condition
of the crane had to be assessed in order to find out who was responsible for the repair.
Although the crane was in a remote location and access was not easy, our team quickly quickly completed a thorough inspection
and filed a full report that included advice and guidance on what to do next. The client was delighted with our prompt service
and we managed to resolve the problem to everyone's satisfaction.
