THERMOGRAPHY BASICS:

Most people do not understand the science behind thermal imaging (Thermodynamics & Thermography), and the importance of having certified thermographers to interpret the data captured by thermal imaging devices. There is so much more to aerial thermal imaging besides slapping a thermal (IR – Infrared) camera to a drone and taking the images. To capture accurate, reliable, and quantifiable data, requires certified personnel to setup, operate, and analyze the information surrounding the thermal imaging equipment. Many thermal imaging operators today either do not have or have the minimum required technical knowledge to perform these inspections correctly. This is where GT Advanced Aerial Services goes above and beyond our competitors. Our drone operator is currently certified to the highest possible level (Level III Master Thermographer), in order to give our clients the reassurance that the data they receive is of the highest caliber.
