DRONE THERMAL IMAGING

One of the most groundbreaking advances in the drone industry has been the addition of thermal imaging sensors as payloads on aircraft. By leveraging thermal imaging technology, we can help our clients to gain intelligence from their projects that would otherwise be logistically unfeasible or cost prohibitive.

Unlike traditional cameras that read and record light that is visible to the naked eye, our equipment can sense infrared radiation and allows us to capture an image or video that presents a visual representation of the presence of heat.

We utilize both FLIR and DJI proprietary thermal imaging sensors with 640x512 resolution, allowing us to provide our clients with some of the highest resolution aerial thermal data available in a format that will integrate seamlessly into their workflow.

We employ a Certified Level 1 Thermographer, so we're equipped to help you analyze the information that we collect. We're also equipped to be your boots on the ground and provide you with remote data capture services for solar panel analysis, building envelope analysis, roof analysis and more. 



WHAT INDUSTRIES BENEFIT FROM THERMAL IMAGING?

SOLAR- Stakeholders in the solar industry, including asset owners, O&M teams, lenders and financiers utilize drone technology to conduct maintenance inspections on solar panel arrays. By collecting infrared data captures and analyzing it, we can provide a comprehensive evaluation of the performance of the operation and areas in need of maintenance or repair. We partner with various analytic services to provide comprehensive reporting about the data obtained.

BUILDING PERFORMANCE- Thermal imaging can quickly and thoroughly evaluate where a building is being subjected to an abnormal amount of heat loss due to insufficient insulation. 

ROOFING- Thermal imaging can determine areas that have been subjected to additional wear or moisture intrusion, allowing companies to accurately pinpoint areas in need of repair in a cost effective and less intrusive manner. 

PUBLIC SAFETY- Police, Fire and Rescue Agencies utilize thermal imaging and drones to conduct search and rescue operations in low light situations, gain situational awareness during an emergency response, and to check for hot spots at structure or brush fires. 

UNDERGROUND UTILITIES- We've assisted utility companies and private contractors alike utilized aerial thermal imaging technology to locate underground utilities. By examining an area where underground utilities are present, we can identify areas of suspected damage or leakage by visualizing the temperature difference of the ground surrounding the utility. This technique can be utilized for unground water lines, underground sewer lines, underground utility lines and underground steam lines.
