Powerful IR Scanning Maintenance for Total Peace of Mind
Maintaining safe, reliable electrical systems is essential for any multi-site operation — especially those operating across remote locations. Through routine infrared scanning maintenance, Faradays Electrical helps clients detect hazards before they become costly failures, ensuring business continuity, compliance, and total peace of mind.
For this nationwide project, Branch Manager Jeff Husbands oversaw a round-robin maintenance cycle across multiple stores, providing proactive reporting, efficient route planning, and rapid turnaround on essential electrical repairs.
Project Overview
A typical round-robin trip involves a Faradays technician travelling a planned route to visit various remote stores. Each route is carefully designed to ensure cost efficiency for both Faradays and the client.
Infrared scanning plays a crucial role in this process. By identifying hot spots, overloading, loose connections, and potential fire hazards, the team helps prevent electrical failures that could lead to store downtime, product losses, and safety risks.
Proactive infrared scanning maintenance has become a core requirement for many multi-site companies — and for good reason.
Technical Process
During routine scans, the Faradays team commonly identifies:
- Overloaded circuit breakers
- Melted or exposed wiring
- Faulty circuit breakers
- Incorrect wiring or loose terminations
Once a fault is detected, the process is clear and structured:
- The onsite electrician captures IR images during the scan.
- Images are reviewed by the Project Manager for technical assessment.
- Recommended actions are documented and quoted.
- Upon approval, a second round-robin trip is scheduled to implement all required repairs.
This streamlined sequence ensures that every identified issue is addressed quickly and cost-effectively, reinforcing the total value of infrared scanning maintenance.
Efficiency & Operations
Coordinating nationwide visits requires meticulous planning and teamwork. The Branch Manager and Project Manager map out the most efficient route, ensuring minimal travel cost and maximum productivity.
Operational efficiency is further supported through:
- Clear job cards completed at every stop
- Accurate material usage tracking
- Smooth handover to admin teams for invoicing
- Direct communication with store managers to plan around trading hours
When necessary, Faradays performs after-hours work to reduce disruptions — keeping operations running without interference.
Client Value
Routine infrared scanning maintenance is essential for multi-site clients because it prioritises:
- Safety
- Compliance
- Early fault detection
- Prevention of costly electrical failures
- Protection against fire hazards
- Continuity of store operations
Clients who use this annual service benefit from consistent reporting, preventative planning, and a trusted partnership that grows stronger year after year.
Many now insist on yearly infrared scanning because it provides measurable peace of mind and clear evidence of safe operating environments.
Reflection
For Jeff, this work is deeply rewarding — not only because of the technical value delivered but because of the long-term relationships built along the way. Clients continue returning each year, entrusting Faradays with additional projects across their network.
Their loyalty reflects one truth:
Faradays is more than a service provider — we are their trusted partner in operational safety.
This nationwide infrared scanning maintenance project is yet another example of the strong operational results Faradays has delivered throughout 2025. As the year continues, this commitment to proactive maintenance, client trust, and safe operations will remain a driving force behind our success.
