Infrared thermography is probably the most effective proven predictive maintenance technology available, to quickly, accurately and safely locate problems prior to failure.  In the June 2001 issue of Maintenance Technology magazine it was reported a return of $4 on every $1 spent on infrared inspections.

A Thermographic Survey of your building and it’s associated heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems will identify areas where energy is being wasted, saving you money.

Any equipment with moving parts can be examined with infrared and problems revealed before they become serious, and because infrared imaging is non-contact it can be done while the equipment is in operation, allowing us to catch things that would be missed during a normal preventive maintenance check.

What is an infrared inspection?
An infrared inspection is a fast, non-invasive, non-destructive means of examining a multitude of a buildings parts and equipment.  It uses an imaging camera that senses heat instead of light as a regular camera does.  All matter above absolute zero gives off heat.  The warmer an object the more heat it gives off.   The imaging camera detects that heat and converts into an electronic signal, which when it is processed can produce an image and also perform temperature calculations, which enable it to make very precise quantified measurements.

This allows a trained qualified Thermographer to monitor thermal performance and also identify and evaluate the relative severity of heat related problems by analyzing the images.  A trained person can identify and diagnose defects in electrical systems, building insulation and the building envelope, water leaks, air leaks, faulty radiator traps, wet insulation on pipes, as well as a host of other problems.

Located in Alexandria, Virginia,  and serving the entire mid atlantic region, Golden Eagle Environmental can inspect as little or as much as you want, from a single piece of equipment to your entire building.  We are here to help you

We can identify air leaks so they can be sealed up.

Do you have moisture issues?  We can identify where the moisture is coming from.  We can tell where water is penetrating your walls with out having to rip out the inside walls.  Think your carpet is dry after a flood?   We can check the effectiveness of water intrusion remediation after a flood.  We can tell if walls and carpets are truly dry.


 
The picture above shows carpet that looked and felt dry, but was actually wet underneath!



This picture shows area of wet insulation under warehouse roof.

We can identify/locate areas of damp insulation under the roof membrane. This will enable you to repair just the area that is damaged and save the time and money to replace the whole roof.

Flat roof leak detection used to be notoriously difficult to carry out successfully and accurately until now. Water will travel great distances from its ingress location to where it eventually starts dripping from a ceiling, and this process can take a long time, so often the problem has been in existence for quite some time before the obvious leak starts.

Electrical fires are one of the leading causes of structure fires.We can examine your electrical panels, starters, motor control centers and other electrical equipment and find problems before they become serious.

Misaligned couplings and pulleys can be easily found.  Bearing failure is a major contributor to equipment downtime.  Using infrared technology we can find bearings that are overheating before they fail or show signs of failing.

Not only is wet pipe insulation an energy thief it can lead to corrosion and pipe failure!  Infrared imaging can find where your insulation is wet and can help to find where the moisture is coming from.
