Efficient delivery whatever thelocation

When a giant engineering contractor with multiple locations and an unprecedentedquantity of plant, machinery and installations decided to outsource all statutoryinspections, the sheer scale of the project reverberated throughout the industry.Unfazed by the size of the task, our Engineering Inspection team worked with the clientto 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 busyworking environments. Visits had to be arranged well in advance and our EngineerSurveyors had to fit in with the client's specific health and safety requirements. Weplaced a lead Engineer on site to work in partnership with the client, taking care ofthe day-to-day management of the contract. This detailed involvement made sureour inspection services were delivered as efficiently as possible.

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, 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.

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.

Thermography Service but we find

most enquiries come from the

following sectors:

• Industrial premises

• Commercial buildings

• Schools and universities

high value properties)

• Leisure centres

• Hotels and restaurants

• Public buildings

• Wind farms

• Horticultural and agricultural operations

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 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.

We go to great lengths to give expert advice

Whether near or far, massive engineering installation or single machine, the standard and professionalism of our EngineeringConsultancy Services is always the same. It doesn't matter where a client is based, we go to great lengths to give expert advice.

We recently provided support for a crane installation in Uganda that had been damaged while out on hire in Kuwait. The conditionof 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 inspectionand filed a full report that included advice and guidance on what to do next. The client was delighted with our prompt serviceand we managed to resolve the problem to everyone's satisfaction.
