Infrared Technology

Infrared Technology: What & Where?

Infrared is electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of 0.7 to 100 microns, which is just greater than the red end of the visible light spectrum. A Thermograph is an instrument designed to detect, amplify and display this type of radiation as well as the visible light spectrum. Thermography, in which King North Building Sciences specializes, is the use of a Thermograph, which we utilize to produce both a visual and written record for the client. While infrared inspections can be used in numerous applications, such as medical examinations, and mechanical machinery, King North Building Sciences specializes in electrical, roof, wall and mechanical equipment inspections.

Why inspect using Infrared Technology?

An inspection using Infrared Technology is proactive preventative maintenance. By using Infrared Technology, King North Building Sciences can identify hidden failures and detect the onset of "failures in waiting," thus helping prevent failures. An Infrared report provides other tangible benefits to the client. In addition to extending the service life of electrical equipment and building components, like roof & wall systems, it pinpoints problem areas, allowing for an action report. More importantly it is cost effective. A King North Building Sciences infrared inspection allows for maintenance planning by the client, which means long term budgeting and not reactionary spending. The insurance industry views clients, who have had infrared inspections, more favorably, since it too recognizes the advantage of these inspections.
