Thermal Imaging
What is it?
Thermal imaging captures heat signatures rather than visible light, revealing issues that might otherwise remain hidden. This technique is used to inspect:
Electrical Distribution Systems, including DBs, MCCBs, mains incoming cables, and machine electrical control panels
Mechanical equipment drives, bearings, and rotating components
Building envelopes and chilled warehousing
Early detection through thermal imaging can help identify faults, preventing costly repairs or downtime in the future.
Why do we need it?
Thermal imaging plays a crucial role in preventative maintenance, helping to:
Identify overloaded components, cables, or “hot spots” in electrical systems
Detect energy inefficiencies in buildings, such as insulation failures or underfloor heating faults
Ensure safety and avoid system failures through early detection
Its proactive approach ensures efficient operation and cost savings over time.
"Another great service from OCM that has now become part of our annual review - thanks guys."

How do we do it?
Using advanced infrared cameras, our team identifies critical electrical, mechanical, and structural components for thermal imaging. We conduct a comprehensive survey that includes:
Infrared and visual images of all key systems
A detailed fault report highlighting any detected anomalies, such as hot or cold spots
Recommendations for repairs and ongoing monitoring
At the end of the survey, our assessors will provide on-the-spot debriefing for maintenance teams, enabling immediate action on high-priority issues.
