Infrared Thermography Cameras for Structural Integrity & Diagnostics
Explore non-contact infrared imaging tools engineered for civil structures, enhancing inspections, safety, and performance insights.
Infrared Thermography Cameras for Structural Diagnostics
Infrared thermography cameras have revolutionized the way structural engineers and civil infrastructure experts inspect buildings, bridges, and other constructed assets. These non-contact tools detect and visualize heat distribution patterns, enabling professionals to identify subsurface anomalies, moisture ingress, delamination, insulation voids, and other structural issues—without damaging the structure. As thermal energy is emitted from all materials, these cameras provide valuable real-time insights into the thermal performance and integrity of materials used in civil construction.

Case Studies
U.S. Case Study 1: Bridge Deck Inspection in Ohio
A state DOT used drone-mounted infrared thermography to detect delamination in a highway bridge deck. The non-contact inspection reduced lane closures and improved safety, resulting in cost savings of over 30%.
U.S. Case Study 2: Thermal Imaging of Historic Buildings in New York
Preservation engineers deployed handheld thermal cameras to assess insulation voids in a 19th-century courthouse. The insights helped plan non-invasive retrofits and maintain heritage aesthetics.
Canadian Case Study: Airport Pavement Analysis in Alberta
A major airport authority used vehicular thermal camera rigs to map thermal inconsistencies in runways. The results guided resurfacing priorities before winter, reducing risk of frost-related cracking.
