Webb Sciences Ltd staff have experience of carrying out infrared surveys of buildings.

AD L2 requires confirmation of the continuity of the insulation layer around the building envelope. An infrared survey is ideally suited to this task.

Up to date infrared cameras are used to carry out the infrared survey. There are certain requirements for the test to be successfully undertaken e.g. a 10 Deg C temperature difference between inside and outside and dry, low wind speed conditions outside.

The infrared survey pictures are incorporated in a report along with visual images of the same area, to aid identification etc.

Sometimes infrared surveys need to be carried out during the evening when there is a greater temperature difference and when there is no influence from direct sunlight on the facade of the building.

Ideally the infrared survey is best carried out from the inside, but where necessary we will include some external images.

There are many other applications of infrared thermography than just detecting insulation continuity and cold bridging in buildings. These can range from:

Electrical: detecting high and low voltage electrical faults, in switchgear, motors etc.

Mechanical: pumps, bearings, automobiles, brakes, aeronautical etc.
