our services
We specialize in the infrared analysis of direct buried steam and high temperature hot water distribution systems.

Loss Estimate:
239 MBTU or $1,915 per year

our method
Using a truck mounted infrared system we image every inch of a distribution system. The entire scan is recorded on a voice dubbed videotape. Problem areas are measured and marked to pinpoint the most likely source.

our report
Our report provides the videotape as well as an analysis of each problem. The analysis includes a map showing the location, thermagrams (infrared photographs) and a BTU loss calculation. The BTU loss estimate gives an indication of the severity of the problem and provides valuable information to prioritize repairs.

Loss Estimate:
1,600 MBTU or $12,800 per year

client participation
Ours is a hands-on approach. We ask that you participate in the scan. The more you participate in the entire process – the better the final product.

Loss Estimate:
1,300 MBTU or $10,400 per year

our experience
Since 1988, we have surveyed hundreds of miles of steam and HTHW lines. We understand heat transfer and know how to identify and analyze hidden underground problems.
