Infrared
thermography.

Detection of defects invisible to the naked eye. ITC-certified H30T camera with civil aviation methodology.

Thermographie infrarouge.
Overview

See what the eye cannot see.

Infrared thermography reveals temperature differences on the surface of an object or structure. These variations, invisible to the naked eye, betray hidden defects: moisture, short circuits, thermal losses, overheating, delaminations.

Used for decades in aerospace, thermography is today the most effective diagnostic tool for non-destructive inspection of infrastructures — solar panels, buildings, electrical installations, pipelines.

What we detect.

The H30T thermal camera reveals a very wide range of defects, grouped here by domain:

Photovoltaic solar energy

Failing cells, hot spots, diode defects, module short circuits, PID effect.

Building envelope

Thermal bridges, insulation defects, water infiltration, air leaks, moisture in walls.

HV electrical installations

Abnormal heating of connections, phase imbalances, overloads, conductivity weaknesses.

Piping & ducts

Hot or cold fluid leaks, insulation defects, blockages, cavitation.

Mechanical equipment

Bearings, motors, industrial furnaces, lubrication failures, excessive friction.

Roofs & waterproofing

Infiltrations, moisture areas, membrane defects, condensation under roof.

A technical investigator's approach.

Our approach goes beyond simple observation. Rooted in BEA experience, each mission follows a 4-step protocol:

1

Prior analysis

Study of plans, weather conditions, maintenance history, critical points identified.

2

Calibrated acquisition

Flight in optimal thermal conditions (delta T min. 10°C), systematic grid, visible photo redundancy.

3

Post-mission analysis

Processing of each image, visual/thermal correlation, classification of anomalies by criticality.

4

Standardised report

Delivery within 96h: ITC report, localised anomalies, prioritised intervention recommendations.
