About Enisave Solutions (Pty) Ltd

Enisave Solutions (Pty) Ltd provides professional Thermographic Surveys, Energy-Balance Audits, and Industrial Risk Assessments across South Africa. Using advanced FLIR thermal imaging technology, we detect critical temperature differentials (Delta-T) to identify faults, energy losses, and performance inefficiencies in electrical, mechanical, steam-lagging, and insulated panel systems.

Our Energy-Balance Audit process quantifies real heat loss and reveals measurable savings for industrial clients. From insurance-compliant surveys to moisture-ingress diagnostics and furnace heat-loss studies, every inspection is carried out with precision and backed by high-quality reporting.

We proudly serve as an Approved Infrared Surveying Supplier to Santam Insurance, supporting safer operations and improved energy performance for our clients nationwide.

We specialise in both electrical and mechanical thermographic surveys, providing early detection of loose connections, overloaded circuits, bearing failures, insulation breakdown, and hidden defects that compromise safety and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions

Infrared thermography is a non-contact diagnostic technique that measures and visualises temperature differences across the surface of an object. Every material above absolute zero (−273.15 °C) emits infrared radiation. A thermal imaging camera captures this radiation and converts it into a temperature-mapped image called a thermogram.

By analysing thermal patterns, thermographers identify hidden anomalies such as loose electrical terminations, phase imbalance, overloaded circuits, deteriorating MCCBs, failing mechanical components, moisture ingress, insulation breakdown, and areas of abnormal heat loss or gain.

Thermographic inspections are used across electrical, mechanical, building, HVAC, and industrial applications for preventive maintenance, risk reduction, energy efficiency, and insurance compliance.

Infrared inspection (thermal imaging) is a non-contact diagnostic method used to detect hidden faults, abnormal heat patterns, and developing risks across electrical, mechanical, and building systems.

Electrical faults: Detects hotspots caused by loose or high-resistance terminations, phase imbalance, overloaded circuits, failing MCCBs/MCBs, neutral overload, undersized conductors, deteriorating busbars, and uneven load distribution.

Moisture ingress: Identifies temperature anomalies associated with moisture trapped in ceilings, walls, cold-room panels, or insulation. Early detection prevents structural damage, panel delamination, corrosion, and mould development.

Mechanical failures: Reveals abnormal heat signatures in motors, pumps, bearings, gearboxes, and rotating equipment — indicating misalignment, bearing wear, lubrication issues, or internal degradation.

Energy losses: Highlights excessive heat loss or gain in thermal systems, air leakage, poor sealing, and compromised envelopes, supporting energy audits and ISO 50001 improvement processes.

Yes — infrared thermographic inspections are specifically intended to be carried out without any service interruptions. Because thermal imaging is a non-contact, non-invasive technique, electrical and mechanical systems can remain fully energised and operating under normal load while the assessment is performed.

Inspecting equipment live ensures that thermal signatures are captured under true operating conditions, allowing accurate identification of electrical faults, phase imbalance, high-resistance joints, mechanical wear, and other load-dependent anomalies.

In limited cases, access restrictions or safety protocols (e.g., arc-flash boundaries) may require temporary isolation of specific equipment. When this is unavoidable, we coordinate with your team to maintain safety and minimise operational impact.

At the end of the thermographic inspection you will receive a professionally structured, insurance-compliant report detailing all findings, measurements, and recommended corrective actions. The report includes:

  • Executive Summary: Concise overview of overall system condition, critical risks, and priority actions.
  • Inspection Methodology: Equipment used, emissivity settings, survey conditions, operating loads, and any limitations encountered.
  • Annotated Thermal Images: Side-by-side thermal and visual images for each finding, including temperature measurements and ΔT values.
  • Findings & Technical Observations: Detailed explanation of each anomaly, including phase information, load balance, and likely failure mode.
  • Risk Severity Classification: Each issue rated using a structured severity scale (P1–P4 / Critical / Serious / Moderate / Low).
  • Recommendations: Clear corrective actions prioritised by risk, safety relevance, and operational impact.

Your completed report is issued within 24 hours of the survey.

Even in a brand-new facility, an infrared thermographic survey is essential for verifying installation quality, detecting early defects, and establishing a performance baseline. Key reasons include:

  • Hidden Installation Defects: Manufacturing variances, incorrect crimping, under-torqued lugs, and poor ferrule installation go undetected during commissioning — but appear immediately under thermal load.
  • Baseline Thermal Signature: A new-build survey provides reference thermal data for future trend analysis, preventative maintenance, and insurance audits.
  • Load and Phase Balance Confirmation: Even new systems can suffer from uneven load distribution. Thermography visually confirms balanced operation.
  • Fire and Safety Risk Reduction: New installations can still contain latent hazards such as loose terminations or faulty MCCBs — all detectable through thermal inspection.

A new facility deserves verified assurance. Infrared thermography provides the first independent confirmation that your systems are safe, correctly installed, and operating as intended from day one.

Insurance companies request infrared thermographic inspections because they significantly reduce electrical risk, improve policy compliance, and provide verifiable evidence of equipment condition. Key reasons:

  • Risk Mitigation: Thermal imaging detects overheating breakers, loose terminations, phase imbalance, and deteriorated switchgear before they develop into electrical fires.
  • Documented Proof of Condition: A thermographic report provides timestamped, image-based evidence of system health — protecting both insurer and insured.
  • Premium Benefits: Many insurers offer improved premiums or reduced excess when clients demonstrate proactive risk management through annual infrared inspections.
  • Compliance for High-Risk Environments: Industrial and commercial facilities are often required by underwriters to undergo annual thermographic assessments as part of their risk compliance obligations.

In short, infrared inspections are a proven risk-reduction tool that help insurers prevent costly losses while giving clients confidence that their infrastructure is safe and fully documented.
