Radiometric Inspection

Automated Defect Tagging via Computer Vision

Infrared thermography scans of high-voltage distribution boards and ductwork expose thermal hotspots caused by loose electrical terminations or failing bearings. Convolutional neural networks automate anomaly detection across thousands of survey images.

Section 01

Automating Visual Defect Recognition at Scale

Building surveying traditionally requires manual inspection from cherry pickers, scaffolding, or rope access. High-resolution drone imagery combined with computer vision algorithms can scan thousands of square metres of roof membrane, cladding panels, and masonry in hours, automatically identifying spalling brickwork, missing flashing, vegetative growth, and gutter blockages with millimetre precision.

Section 02

Thermal Imaging & Energy Leak Detection

Infrared radiometric vision models analyse building envelopes to identify missing insulation, thermal bridging, and fenestration seal failures. In electrical switchrooms, thermographic vision systems detect hot spots in distribution boards before switchgear flashover occurs.
