Brady Infrared uses a combination of thermal imaging, drone surveys, and corona detection to inspect key infrastructure components in the energy and utilities sector.
Substation thermal & corona inspections
We use thermal imaging to identify overheating components in substations and use corona detection to spot partial discharge and insulation degradation.
Transmission & distribution line patrols
Drones capture detailed thermal scans of power lines and overhead systems to detect faults that can lead to downtime.
Pad-mounted switchgear diagnostics
We inspect pad-mounted electrical equipment to ensure proper function and prevent failures from faulty components.
Aerial drone inspections for wide coverage
For large facilities or difficult-to-reach equipment, we deploy drones to perform high-resolution aerial scans that cover a wide area.
Visual patrols of poles, overhead equipment, and vegetation encroachment
We perform visual checks for physical damage to poles and equipment and detect potential hazards caused by encroaching vegetation.
