Thermography

When the components of a system emit too much heat or become too hot, cables can burn through, with very dangerous and damaging consequences. To find out whether you are exposed to this risk, GTI uses thermography to inspect your system.

What is thermography?
Thermography measures the thermal energy emitted by an object. Abnormal hot spots usually indicate that there is a defect. For example, a defective bearing, insufficient greasing or bad spools soon cause an increase in temperature. This makes thermography an effective form of preventative maintenance.

What does GTI do?
GTI uses an infra-red camera to record a 'heat image' of the distribution box, the system or the entire building. While the inspection is being carried out, the system can continue to operate as normal. GTI compiles a report of the heat image and discusses its findings with you as the customer. During that meeting, we inform you of any problems that exist and how you can solve them.

Why GTI?
There are three important reasons for choosing GTI:

1. Our services entail more than inspection.
GTI can advise you on measures to resolve any defects in the system (and also provide you with a cost estimate). If you wish, we will repair the defects ourselves. Moreover, you can enter into a maintenance and management contract with GTI for several years. We will then take full responsibility for all your system maintenance tasks.

2. GTI offers independent inspection.
Not only GTI as a company, but also all our inspectors individually are certified for various disciplines (scopes). Moreover, every inspector is evaluated every eighteen months on the basis of an examination of his/her work and reports.

3. GTI is the only organisation that can provide the thermographic inspection of systems as part of a total package.
