The increasing use of thermography in factories and commercial buildings is down to the fact that the technology is an easy and effective way to locate joints that are overheating and which may show signs of impending failure.

One of the UK's leading exponents of thermographic use Mardix Critical Power Services Ltd and they use a non-invasive method of thermal surveying to detect temperature trending, fault detection and load testing.

It is particularly effective for mechanical, electrical and engineering situations.

A spokesman for Mardix said: “Companies are increasingly finding that by using thermography either on-site during production or whilst building a factory, the process will help avoid downtime, expensive failures and business disruption.

“We use specialist engineers who have extensive experience in carrying out thermal surveying to help our clients avoid major problems and be more effective.”

Mardix is now processing more than 150,000 thermal images every year for a diverse range of clients who have come to appreciate the advantages of the process to help make their businesses more efficient.
