OUR INNOVATIVE APPROACH
6. Ultrasonic (UST) Leak detection
in hatch & doors: American
Bureau of Shipping and Lloyds
Register accredited service
supplier for ship and yacht
enclosure integrity testing, for
water and weather tightness in
doors and hatches. A preferred
means to locate failing seals
to prevent water ingress and
prevent stability issues due to
deck wash in heavy seas.
Ultrasonic (UST) Compressed
Air Leak Detection: Air is free
until it is compressed. Noisy
air leaks are easily heard and
repaired, however, it’s the
continuous, less noisy incipient
leaks that dent the bottom-line.
Immediate energy savings
gained after detection, tagging
and site repair. Reducing your
carbon footprint while improving
compressor reliability as your
system cycle’s less often to feed
the air leak.
Portable Appliance Testing
(PAT): the in-service inspection
and electronic testing of
handheld power tools, power
cables and fixed appliances. The
process of examining electrical
appliances and equipment
to confirm that they are fully
operational and safe to use.
It involves a series of visual
checks and electronic tests,
which help establish a specific
appliance fulfils the legal
obligations to ensure a high
standard of electrical safety.
Thermal Imaging: our American
Bureau of Shipping and Lloyds
Register approved services to
detect elevated temperatures
in energised electrical systems,
to prevent power outages and
electrical fires. Extensively used
for ship and rig engine room
hotspot detection, to mitigate hot
surfaces becoming an ignition
source in the event of a fuel/oil
line leak - a SOLAS requirement.
Electrical / Ex Surveys: used to
great effect throughout industry,
logistical warehousing and sea
going vessels and rigs. Reporting
on electrical defects that pose a
risk of injury to people or damage
to the industrial complex and
offshore asset in hazardous and
non-hazardous zones.
Ultrasonic (UST) High Voltage
Partial Discharge: our American
Bureau of Shipping and Lloyds
Register approved services utilised
to detect high frequency noise
indicative of partial discharge in
terrestrial high voltage power
lines, and offshore drilling systems
>1000V. Used to locate cable
insulation deterioration, tracking
and corona presence, to prevent a
flash-over event.

secure cabinets without shutting critical
systems down.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
8. Geo Therm services performed a combined thermographic
and electrical Ex survey for a major paint manufacturing plant
operating in the Middle East as part of their preventative
maintenance and safety improvement program.
The site comprised of a wet and a dry powder paint
process factory, warehousing, and offices. The equipment
surveyed included main switchboards, transformers, site-
wide distribution boards and equipment starter panels. All
completed within just three days, by two company surveyors.
In total six deficiencies were found warranting attention. Four
moderate deficiencies were repaired and rechecked at time
of the survey, whereas the two major deficiencies rested with
the electrical utility supplier; the main transformer and main
incomer panel powering the entire facility.
Through our services this leading paint manufacturer
mitigated catastrophic failure that would have shut down the
entire production plant had we not been called.
A leading yacht management company requested our
services via a listed supplier, requiring a thermographic survey
at short notice on a 2018 Cayman Island registered new
build superyacht, to identify thermal electrical and cladding
deficiencies before expiration of its warranty.
A Geo Therm surveyor was mobilised to the south of France
immediately. Our surveyor performed the electrical and engine
room survey under actual sea going conditions. From the
electrical panels surveyed including the main switchboard,
HVAC and ancillary equipment, seven electrical deficiencies
were raised. Including deficiencies with the non-contiguous
cladding at its two main engine exhausts, the three auxiliary
engine exhausts and emergency generator exhaust, exposing
surface temperatures above SOLAS guidelines and a potential
ignition source in the event of a fuel oil leak.
Our detailed report highlighted the need for electrical and
exhaust cladding corrective maintenance attention, with those
actions being acknowledged and performed by the builder
under warranty.
