Thermal Imaging Surveys in Powys
Wye Valley Thermography provides professional thermal imaging surveys across Powys, supporting industrial and commercial sites in Newtown, Welshpool, Llandrindod Wells, Rhayader, Builth Wells, Brecon, Ystradgynlais, Hay-on-Wye and surrounding areas.
Our inspections identify developing electrical and mechanical faults before failure occurs, helping reduce downtime, improve safety and support reliable plant operation.
What We Do
Thermal imaging is used to detect temperature anomalies that indicate underlying issues within equipment.
Using high-resolution infrared imaging, we identify overheating electrical connections, unbalanced loads, failing components and mechanical defects while systems remain in operation.
This allows faults to be found early, without disruption to production.
Electrical Inspections
Electrical faults often develop gradually and present as heat before failure.
We inspect panels, MCCs, distribution boards, busbars and control systems to identify:
– Loose or high-resistance connections
– Overloaded circuits
– Phase imbalance
– Failing components and hotspots
Early identification reduces the risk of failure, fire and costly downtime.
Preventative Maintenance
Thermal imaging is a non-intrusive inspection method that supports a proactive maintenance strategy.
By identifying faults early, sites can reduce reactive maintenance, improve planning and extend the life of critical equipment.

Where Thermal Imaging Adds Value
Thermal imaging is particularly effective across a wide range of industrial equipment, including:
– Electrical panels, MCCs and distribution systems
– Motors, bearings and rotating equipment
– Process and production machinery
– Dust extraction and ventilation systems
Identifying issues early allows maintenance teams to plan corrective work and avoid unplanned downtime.
Mechanical Inspections
Mechanical issues can also be detected through temperature changes during operation.
Thermal imaging can highlight:
– Bearing wear and lubrication issues
– Misalignment
– Motor overheating
– Friction within moving components
This supports condition-based maintenance and helps prevent unexpected breakdowns.
Reporting
All inspections are supported by clear, structured reports detailing identified issues, thermal images and recommended actions.
Findings are prioritised by severity, allowing maintenance teams to focus on the most critical risks first and take effective corrective action.
