Specialized Equipment and Services:
1.
THERMAL INFRARED SCANS
NH&A owns and
operates a PYROVIEWER Model 5450 thermal infrared viewing system
manufactured by Electrophysics Corporation, Fairfield, NJ. Use of this
equipment, where appropriate, allows our employees to discover the
presence of trapped moisture in a suspect roof system in a non-destructive
way, providing another piece of information to be used in the decision
making process. Areas to be scanned are accurately measured, with the
layout digitized to scale, noting all major openings for reference. After
a base line is established, moisture detected by infrared is marked on the
scaled drawing. Results are verified by using a TRAMEX solid-state
electronic capacitance meter. We also use the TRAMEX equipment as a
stand-alone piece of equipment to pinpoint areas of leakage when a full
infrared survey is deemed unnecessary.
Hands-on Infrared surveys of the type provided by NH&A are vastly superior
in providing accurate, usable data when compared to many other systems
being promoted in today's marketplace.
Our inspectors are also equipped with Delmhorst moisture probes,
manufactured by Delmhorst Instrument Co., Towaco, NJ, allowing immediate
on-site testing for excessive moisture in roofing material. Detection of
non-visable moisture content before installation of the product is
paramount in eliminating future problems by not allowing the installation
of wet materials.

AutoCad 2002
Design graphics are accomplished at NH&A by using the
latest version of the AutoCad software package offered by Autodesk, Inc.,
San Rafael, CA. Information generated in this format is made available on
disc to our clients for their use. Of course, hard copies are also
provided of work done using this system. Computer file data may also be
provided in a .dxf format. |
