THERMOGRAPHICRISK ASSESSMENTRISK MANAGEMENT SERVICES

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.

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, 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

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.

When the risk is high we have the solution

When the owners of a large retail store asked us to carry out a ThermographicRisk Assessment, we were only too pleased to help. Given the number of shoppersvisiting the site, our client needed additional peace of mind following the visualinspection of the building's electrical system. Their fears were well founded.

Our survey revealed a serious connection issue inside a control panel that wassupplying electricity to new equipment that was under a year old. We discoveredseveral components and cables had already melted. Without prompt remedialaction there would have been a serious risk of a fire. This could have haddevastating consequences in a busy department store.
