October 6, 2004—Infrared Thermographic Services, Inc. has formed AITscan Division to provide Pollution FindIR, time and cost saving services to help local governments comply with The Clean Water Act. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Pollution FindIR is an aerial thermographic technique, developed by Stockton’s infrared thermographers, that provides 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 FindIR 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.
The pollution sources are found and documented in one day.
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.
