Roof Asset Management

Stockton’s Infrared Thermographers can fly over your building and in seconds record digital infrared imagery of your roof.  Upon returning to our offices, we can put together an Aerial Infrared Roof Moisture Survey and you will start to take charge of your roof. These high-quality reports are tailored to your specific needs.

State-of-the-Art Infrared Equipment
Because of it’s higher mass, the water in your roof substrate radiates heat longer at night than the dry substrate. Infrared cameras can ‘see’ this heat. High-resolution, full-time recording and digital imagery make the difference. The cameras we use for aerial infrared have four (4) times the resolution of a modern focal plane array camera, which are used for checking electrical switchgear and for on-roof surveying.

How it works

 

 

At night, areas of roof moisture are warmer, because the latent heat (from daylight sunshine) in the trapped water mass is warmer than in the dry, functioning insulation or roof substrate.  After sunset, when the roof’s structure cools down, wet areas of roof insulation and other materials continue to radiate heat, allowing our sensitive infrared cameras to detect the sources of heat and record them for later analysis.

Aerial infrared imaging provides:

tag High-angle, high-resolution, straight-down infrared images which lessen reflections. 


tag High-resolution images that capture large areas at once, making report preparation easier and less expensive to produce. 


tag A more cost-effective platform to obtain infrared imagery than rotor-wing, while reducing ferry times & vibrations

Edited Videotape - Edited videotape can be made from the original digital video and copied onto VHS.

Printed thermographs - Infrared thermographs (infrared pictures) of the individual roof sections can be printed in high-resolution.

Aerial photographs - Photographs of the roof (straight-down) and building site (low-angle) can be printed high-resolution.

AutoCAD drawings - AutoCAD drawings can be printed and saved to disk. Drawings are made by analyzing all the infrared, photographic and drawing information. 

Digital report - A quantitative infrared roof moisture survey report would include all of the above, printed in high-resolution and saved to a CD, put on the Internet with a password to access, and/or e-mailed to all parties.

Auto Cad of roof

AutoCADs can be made using the aerial photographs and thermographs.

This creates a bid document, so that the repairs can be made with surgical precision.
