"The current trend in industry today is to go beyond preventive
maintenance, to predictive maintenance [PdM]," marketing manager Christophe
Lemaire at ADI, said. "Predictive maintenance can lower the cost of repairs
by more than 25 percent, if you can detect them early.
"It can cost ten times more to repair equipment if you have wait until it
fails," said Harvey Weinberg, senior applications engineer at ADI.
Mold Intrusion & Moisture
Moisture
Intrusion in buildings can destroy the structural integrity of most materials
and nurture mold. The first step in a moisture intrusion problem is to investigate,
locate and identify the source of the intrusion. Then Professional remediation
is required to quickly and accurately remove all sources of damaged material
and the correct the source of the moisture intrusion.
Infrared thermal imaging has been increasingly used to identify wet building
materials that can be sources of mold growth and degraded indoor environmental
quality. Our Trained and Certified Building Science Thermographers can rapidly
identify areas of concern so that an in-depth evaluation and corrective action
can be taken to correct degraded indoor environmental quality.
Roofing
Infrared roof inspections locate deterioration and/or damage caused by
water leakage in roofing systems, saving an enormous amount of time and money
by pinpointing and enabling the repair of wet, failed areas of a roof, rather
than replacing
an entire roofing system

An Electrical Fire Causes An Evacuation At the Harvard Campus in Massachusetts
5/02/2008 Lauren Burgoyne KOLD NEWS 13 News Reporter
At least 700 people in Cambridge, Massachusetts
woke up without power Friday morning because of an electrical fire burning below
the ground that climbed
to the streets. People actually witnessed fire shooting up through the
manholes in the streets.
A portion of Harvard square was closed to traffic, and atleast one building
on Harvard University's campus was evacuated because of carbon monoxide concerns.
Three bus routes were diverted but so far there are no reports of deaths or
injuries.
Thermal
imaging is a valuable tool in Preventive and Predictive Maintenance
of electrical Panels, Circuits, Fuses & Breakers. Our Infrared Thermal Scan
is able to help detect problems, prevent unscheduled downtime, guide needed
corrective action and increase plant & facility safety. We use only FLIR
infrared cameras, the Global leader in Infrared Technology. This
Technology has been proven for more than 30 years in industrial thermal
imaging. We can save you time and money, with the highest return on you
investment.
