10 Jul Technology in the Building Industry
The whole of Brisbane seems to be leaking.
Every year the repairs side of our business keeps growing. There are so many inexperienced trades and so many people who haven’t had the correct training through their apprenticeship and so many builders not overseeing their work and workers and the result is record building failures. A lot of the sites we attend we can see the results of the failure but identifying the source can be tricky.
Most commonly it’s exploratory surgery if you like. To combat this where we can, and always embracing technology, we have invested a significant amount in a thermal imaging camera. Just like X-ray vision, a thermal imaging camera picks up differences in temperature. Water is cooler so that can show.
Missing insulation? That too will show as the area is hotter than the insulation around it. Termite nests – they are very warm. Plenty of training ahead of us and we look forward to this latest piece of equipment complimenting our moisture meters and borescopes to help solve your building related problem.
