Inspection specialties

IR Inspection Services

KTI Network contractors are certified specialists across eight critical infrared inspection disciplines — each requiring distinct training, equipment, and expertise.

Electrical System Inspections

Prevent failures before they happen

Thermal imaging of electrical panels, switchgear, transformers, motor control centers, and distribution systems. Identifies hot spots, loose connections, overloaded circuits, and failing components before they cause outages or fires.

Roof & Moisture Surveys

Detect water intrusion non-destructively

Aerial and ground-based thermal surveys to locate moisture infiltration, wet insulation, and delamination in flat and low-slope roofing systems. Enables targeted repairs instead of full replacement.

Building Envelope & Energy Audits

Eliminate energy loss at the source

Comprehensive thermal analysis of walls, windows, doors, and structural interfaces to identify air leakage, missing insulation, thermal bridging, and condensation risk. Supports LEED certification and energy code compliance.

Solar Panel Inspections

Maximize output, minimize downtime

Drone-assisted and ground-level thermal imaging of photovoltaic arrays to detect cell defects, bypass diode failures, soiling patterns, delamination, and string-level performance issues — without taking systems offline.

IEC 62446-3, SEMI PV17, ASTM E1742

Industrial Equipment Scans

Keep critical machinery running

Thermal inspection of rotating equipment, heat exchangers, boilers, furnaces, refractory linings, and process piping. Identifies bearing failures, refractory degradation, and heat exchanger fouling during normal operation.

ISO 18434-1, ASNT SNT-TC-1A, API 510

Predictive Maintenance Surveys

Data-driven maintenance scheduling

Scheduled thermal baseline surveys and trend analysis for facilities and manufacturing plants. Establishes thermal baselines, tracks degradation over time, and integrates with CMMS platforms to optimize maintenance intervals.

ISO 13374, ISO 17359, MIMOSA OSA-CBM

Plumbing & Radiant Heat Detection

Locate leaks and blockages without demolition

Non-invasive thermal imaging to trace in-slab radiant heating systems, locate pipe leaks behind walls and under floors, identify blockages, and verify hydronic system performance — no demolition required.

IICRC S500, ASHRAE 90.1, PHCC

Aerial Thermography

Large-scale thermal surveys from above

Fixed-wing aircraft, drone (UAS), and helicopter-mounted thermal imaging systems deliver rapid, wide-area infrared surveys that are impractical or impossible from the ground. Radiometric data is geo-referenced and overlaid on orthomosaic maps for precise anomaly reporting across rooftops, building envelopes, utility corridors, and energy infrastructure.

Industrial process thermography

Advanced Thermal Solutions for Manufacturing & Industry

Beyond building and electrical inspections, KTI Network contractors deliver precision thermal imaging for complex industrial processes — from real-time production monitoring and early fire detection to battery storage safety and condition-based maintenance programs.

Condition Monitoring

Continuous or periodic thermal surveillance of rotating equipment, motors, drives, and mechanical systems. Establishes thermal baselines and flags anomalies before they escalate into unplanned downtime.

  • Bearing & coupling heat signatures
  • Motor winding temperature profiling
  • Gearbox & drive thermal trending
  • Conveyor & material handling systems
  • Integration with CMMS platforms

Early Fire Detection

Fixed and portable thermal cameras monitor heat-critical zones in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and waste processing sites — identifying ignition-risk hot spots before flames develop.

  • Waste & recycling facility monitoring
  • Conveyor belt friction hot spots
  • Electrical room continuous surveillance
  • Biomass & wood chip storage
  • 24/7 automated alert integration

Battery Storage & EV Safety

Thermal inspection of lithium-ion battery banks, BESS installations, and EV charging infrastructure to detect thermal runaway precursors, cell imbalances, and cooling system failures.

  • BESS rack-level thermal mapping
  • EV charging station inspections
  • Cell-level temperature uniformity
  • Cooling system performance verification
  • Post-incident forensic analysis

Thermal Process Monitoring

Real-time radiometric data collection integrated into production lines to verify temperature uniformity, detect process deviations, and ensure product quality in heat-critical manufacturing operations.

  • Plastic forming & thermoforming
  • Adhesive dispensing validation
  • Hot metal stamping & die casting
  • Food & beverage processing lines
  • Packaging & sealing verification

Refractory & Furnace Inspection

High-temperature thermal surveys of furnace linings, kilns, boilers, and pressure vessels to identify refractory degradation, hot spots, and shell overheating during normal operation — without shutdown.

  • Rotary kiln shell scanning
  • Boiler tube & header surveys
  • Refractory lining integrity
  • Coke oven & blast furnace walls
  • Pressure vessel external surveys

Utilities & Grid Infrastructure

Thermal inspection programs for power generation, water treatment, and grid infrastructure assets — balancing system reliability, asset longevity, and regulatory compliance across critical utility operations.

  • Substation & switchyard equipment
  • Transformer & bushing surveys
  • Water treatment pump & motor scans
  • Generator & turbine thermal checks
  • NERC compliance documentation

Engineered-to-order

Custom Industrial Thermography Programs

Every industrial facility is different. KTI Network contractors work directly with your engineering and maintenance teams to design thermography programs tailored to your specific processes, equipment, and operational goals — from proof-of-concept studies and baseline surveys to full recurring inspection programs with trend analysis and CMMS integration.

  • On-site thermography consultation & scoping
  • Proof-of-concept thermal studies
  • Radiometric data collection & analysis
  • Recurring inspection program design
  • Thermal report integration with CMMS
  • ITC & ASNT certified thermographers
