Pollution FindIR Helps Agencies Comply Quickly at Less Cost

Randleman, NC - Stockton Infrared Thermographic Services, Inc. the USA's leading expert in aerial thermographic scanning of ground objects, announces the formation of its new AITscan Division to provide Pollution FindIRô time and cost saving services to help local governments comply with The Clean Water Act. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Pollution FindIRô is a proven aerial thermographic technique, developed by Stockton's infrared thermographers, that provides huge time and cost savings for agencies seeking compliance with EPA regulations governing storm water and pollutant source effects on waterways and lakes.

The US Environmental Protection Agency has identified polluted water contaminating the surface water and drinking water supplies as one of the most serious environmental problems facing the USA. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act and the Clean Water Act mandate that municipalities identify, quantify, document and eliminate illicit waterway discharges. Pollution FindIRô is the answer to quicker compliance with EPA requirements! Professional aerial thermographic scanning shrinks the time to locate effluent sources from months or weeks to days or hours.

For example, a 100 stream-mile survey covered by foot typically takes about 1600 man-hours. AITscan's Pollution FindIRô trained aircrew can survey the same 100 stream miles in less than 24 hours. Further, no one has to risk injury from falls and other hazards to accomplish the job. That's a savings of more than 1500 man-hours; nearly a man-year!

More importantly, the pollution sources are found and documented in one day! The cost of a one-day AITscan survey is far less than the cost of a man-year's salary. The savings of time, money and manpower are impressive, to say the least. Obviously, the savings are greater where larger areas are involved and where time is critical. Seasoned PollutionFindIRô experts are more than happy to help estimate specific savings and develop a schedule for your survey.

Stockton Infrared's 15 years of experience and technical expertise with both ground-based and aerial infrared thermographic technology has made them the industry leader. The AITscan Division manages nine aircraft, fixed and rotor wing, with on-board high-resolution infrared systems. They have been innovating aerial thermographic surveying of large flat-roofed buildings to find roof moisture damage, buried steam lines to find leaks, high voltage utility transmission lines to find hot spots and aerial waterway surveys since 1994. AITscan has trained crews positioned around the USA ready to respond to calls from municipalities and other agencies anywhere.
