What is Infrared thermography?
Infrared thermography is a state-of-the-art investigative technology that helps look beneath the surface of structure to see what is not visible to the human eye. It is non-destructive and a very effective cost-saving tool that will help you target problems at their source.
It is a highly accurate and cost-effective investigative technology that can be used in a number of different applications.
