Florida Building Re-certification Inspections - Electrical
Brady Infrared, the premier infrared inspection company in Florida since 2001,can help you navigate through the infrared requirements set forth by Florida Building Re-Certification requirements.
We are a “Turn-Key” option for engineering companies and their clients for the following inspection services:
- Infrared Electrical Inspections conducted by Level-II & Level-III Certified Thermographers
- Licensed Florida electricians that open and close panels using NFPA-70A arc-flash protective equipment
- Detailed visual inspections of electrical equipment carried out by Florida licensed electricians and trained infrared thermographers
- Provide repair solutions for problems found during the inspection
- Bonding and grounding testing for pool equipment, light fixtures and building ground systems
- Arc-flash studies and arc-flash mitigation solutions
Our Level-II and Level-III thermographers, all with over 7 years of experience inspecting commercial buildings electrical systems, deliver professional reports that have an excellent track record of passing through the re-certification review and approval process.
Reports include:
- Inventory of all your electrical equipment
- Test status of that equipment – Pass / Fail - Load / No Load – Locked Out, Not in Service
- Baseline thermal and visual images of all electrical equipment specified in the recertification requirements
- Barcode IDs on all equipment to serve as redundant form of identification as many panels have no field identifiers
- Database generated report that allows for accurate and efficient follow-up inspection that addresses repairs for final approval
- Review of infrared report by Level-III thermographer with over 20 years of certified experience.
Risks Involved with Infrared Inspection of Electrical Systems
OSHA and the National Fire Protection Agency consider arc-flash the number one risk when working on energized electrical equipment. An arc-flash occurs when phase to phase or phase to ground contact is made resulting in a powerful blast containing molten metal and temperatures hotter than the sun.
Arc-flash risks are the highest while removing and re-installing electrical panel covers during an infrared inspection. We find that a lot of panels have broken fasteners and loose components that require extreme care and proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when handling them. Our trained and experienced inspection teams understand these risks and strive to make infrared inspections as safe as possible.
Brady Infrared works with licensed electricians to safely access your aging electrical equipment. Our inspection teams are trained and certified in arc-flash hazards, wear the proper protective arc-flash equipment, and have the knowledge and experience to safely access and work on older electrical systems.
