Building Shell

Using high resolution infrared cameras and when the building is heated, we are able to observe heat losses from the outside and therefore appreciate the efficiency of the building envelope. The roof, or the overhead parts, are usually covered by drone inspections. These inspections make it possible to target interventions to save energy or detect problems.

 

Advantages :

• Inspection performed from outside, remotely, and by drone as needed
• Battery-powered infrared cameras with real-time results
• The inspection report provides all the visible and infrared images in order to clearly identify the damaged areas

 

To consider :

• To get good results, the inspector should move around to get a shot perpendicular to surfaces as much as possible
• There must be a significant temperature difference between the inside of the building and the outside temperature

We suggest inspecting roofs or high sections by drone, including chimneys if necessary. If relevant, the captured photos can be used to recreate a 3D model of the building. This type of deliverable allows coherent and structured storage of photos, as well as comparative monitoring over time. We make sure to perform flights in full compliance and using the most efficient technologies available on the market.

 

Advantages :

• Less expensive and faster than access inspections on ropes, using elevated platforms, or a crane
• Lots of quality photos for tracking over time
• Possibility of delivering a 3D model that allows you to store and view photos intuitively

 

To consider :

• Usually allow two days between request and execution for the preparation of mission plans
• Weather conditions can delay the work (rain, snow, winds)

 

Conformity :

• Transport Canada drone operator license
• Pilots certified by Transport Canada

Lidar-type 3D scanners have the ability to accurately model components within a large range. This technology is applicable to model the exterior envelope and the interior of a building. The data can therefore be used to measure or follow the evolution of deformations, to model a component to be replaced, to measure surfaces or simply to obtain an as-is 3D model of the building for engineering, architectural or construction needs. redevelopment.

 

Advantages :

• Very simple and fast scanning
• Precise (millimeter scale) modeling of surfaces
• Very large capture range

 

To note :

• Requires point cloud post-processing
• Delivrables available in several 2D or 3D formats
