Prevent Downtime and Fire Risk with Thermal Imaging for Insurance Compliance

. When we’re out in the field performing thermal inspections for insurance purposes, we’re not just ticking boxes — we’re scanning for issues that could be hiding in plain sight. And today was a textbook example of why that matters. From Routine Scan to Real Risk On arrival at the site, our goal was simple: […]

From Hobby to Mission-Ready: The Drone Upgrade Powering Thermal Precision

Every tool has a story — and for us at CIRTA Infrared Thermography, that story started with a humble Mavic Pro. Picked up back in 2018, it was a solid little unit used for filming weddings, experimenting with drone footage, and learning the ropes of aerial imaging. It’s still going strong, surprisingly — a testament […]

Maximise Solar Output and Avoid Equipment Failures with a Thermal Drone Roof Assessment

On a bright, sunny day — ideal conditions for thermal imaging — we headed out to a commercial site to carry out a full solar panel and roof assessment using drone-mounted infrared thermography. Why Combine Thermal Imaging with Aerial Inspection? Thermal drone inspections allow us to capture high-resolution infrared data across multiple roof surfaces, detecting […]

On the Road in Country Victoria – Remote Thermal Inspection with the National Trust

This week, we were on the road again, heading out to a rural property under the care of the National Trust in regional Victoria. When you’re out in the country, the jobs can be a little different, and sometimes you don’t know exactly what you’re walking into until you get there — and that’s part […]

How Thermal Drones Are Transforming Solar Farm Inspections in Victoria

Thermal imaging using drones has become an essential tool for inspecting solar farms. By using advanced infrared cameras, technicians can detect heat anomalies that indicate faults, inefficiencies, or potential damage within solar panels. This process is vital for maintaining peak performance and preventing costly downtime. Why Use Thermal Imaging? Solar panels can develop faults over […]
