Thermal Imaging & Thermography
Infrared Thermography is the safest, non-intrusive and most efficient technique to identify faults & overheating.
Thermography can be applied to electrical and/or mechanical systems to identify thermal profiles of specific components by identifying hot or cold spots which could potentially lead to a component or system inefficiency – and potential failure.
By capturing heat-generated images, thermal imaging makes it possible to measure the temperature of an asset in real time and at a safe distance. This allows for the clear identification of temperature variations that may indicate faults, wear or inefficiencies.
The data can then be interpreted by your maintenance team or by our engineers, enabling early detection of potential problems before they grow into serious and costly failures.
Our Thermal Imaging Solutions
At AVT Reliability BV, formerly Van Geffen Reliability, our service engineers are qualified to IR Level 1 as a minimum and are supported by Level 3 technical authorities. This provides a high level of competence when carrying out thermographic inspections to detect electrical and mechanical faults.
We provide clear, actionable recommendations as part of an integrated condition monitoring strategy, to support compliance, or to perform ad-hoc infrared surveys of:
- Electrical systems
- Mechanical systems
- Static equipment
Advantages of Thermography
Safety and Risk Reduction
- Improved safety
- Non-contact inspection
- Reduce or eliminate preventable safety incidents
- Lower insurance rates
Reliability and Uptime
- Predictively identify issues
- Prevent loss of production uptime
- Fast, reliable and accurate output
- Reduce maintenance costs
Efficiency and Performance
- Energy conservation
- Improve process efficiency

Key Thermal Imaging Applications
Electrical Systems
High temperatures can indicate failing components, earth faults, short circuits or loose connections.
We accurately identify thermal anomalies and collaborate with customers to rectify issues quickly and safely.
Inspections are carried out onshore, offshore and on maritime sites, often combined with vibration assessments.
Mechanical Systems
Thermography is decisive in troubleshooting issues involving:
- Alignment issues
- Overloading of bearings or couplings
- Overheating of motors or generators
- Lubrication issues
Static Equipment
Thermography is widely used for annual health checks on static equipment:
- Skin surveys (boilers, piping, furnaces, exhausts)
- Fluid system temperature checks
- Heat exchanger and cooler bank inspection
- Barrel contamination inspection
