The World’s First Public River Boat Service, and the World’s Longest Running Phantom Monitoring Installation: From Analogue to Digital! Since first crossing the Thames in 1889, the Woolwich Ferry has been a vital part of London’s transport network. Today, that legacy of reliability continues, supported by modern condition monitoring technology. Installed in March 2019, the Phantom wireless system is now marking 7 years of continuous operation, making it one of the world’s earliest and longest-running...Continue Reading

BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) remains one of the most recognised sustainability assessment methods for buildings in the UK and Europe. It sets a measurable framework for environmental performance and quality assurance. It is not legally required but once a project commits to a BREEAM rating it becomes contractually binding. If the evidence is not delivered the credit is lost and the rating drops. That can jeopardise funding conditions, leasing commitments and handover...Continue Reading

Energy losses often sit quietly in the background of even well-maintained sites and are, more often than not, hidden in pipework, above ceilings or behind panels. They don’t trip alarms so they go unnoticed, but they do steadily drive up costs and emissions. Here, we’ll look at five common culprits and how thermography can help bring them to light, supporting more focused maintenance and smarter energy audits. 1. Poor Insulation and Building Envelope Gaps Heat...Continue Reading

* Morpheus, The Matrix “The best Vibration Analysts and Condition Monitoring Engineers combine solid academic foundations with extensive hands-on experience. Over years in the field, they’ve encountered countless real-world faults, recognising patterns not only through AI and data, but by working directly with failed machinery and driving reliability improvements through targeted, practical actions.” Dr George Zolkiewxki >30 years hands-on CM and VA Training. However, as we move towards the need for smarter, more sustainable operations...Continue Reading

For those technicians involved in monitoring equipment health, inspecting electrical systems, or assessing HVAC performance, the ability to visualise heat patterns gives you a useful, non-contact method for detecting potential failures before they happen. Making the right choice can seem daunting.  With features, specifications, and price points varying widely, how do you decide what truly matters? This guide will help to demystify the selection process and help you make an informed, practical decision that fits...Continue Reading
