Thermographic Surveys

Our themographic (infrared) inspection services are designed to provide companies with the many benefits of the technology without the investment in additional equipment, training and personnel. Outsourcing infrared services is the best solution in many situations.

The reasons to conduct an infrared survey with an outside contractor such as Electrical Inspections Victoria vary from simply meeting insurance requirements to being part of a functional condition monitoring program. Regardless of the reason, infrared services from EIV provide a one-stop shop from which you can have a complete infrared program developed.

Multiple Installation Design
 
It is important to have your multiple installation development designed to take into account all the important considerations the Wiring Rules and VSIR's pose. This can include maximum demand calculations, voltage drop calculations, mains and sub mains sizing, main switchboard design, metering enclosure design and representations to the local Distribution Company on your behalf.
