Inspection & Testing Capabilities 

As regulations and insurance policies evolve, so do the requirements expected of electrical systems. We are up to date with the latest regulatory changes and advise you on the best route forward to ensure your building conforms to the latest wiring and electrical regulations. These detailed fixed wiring tests look for signs of damages, defects, or deterioration, after which a EICR is developed.  

Beyond traditional testing techniques, we utilise cutting-edge technology that elevates our testing and inspection service and enables us to identify issues that traditionally would be left unseen.   

  • Thermal Imaging – Our thermal imaging tool allows us to identify apparent temperature differences in industrial three-phase electrical circuits, compared to normal operating conditions. By inspecting the thermal gradients, we can immediately spot performance anomalies, that indicate overloading and overheating, which left untreated could stem into a fire risk.  
  • Data logging – Power and energy loggers enable us to conduct load studies to determine overloading or insufficient energy supply. 

Detecting Electrical Problems 

Businesses have legal obligations to adhere to the Electricity at Work Regulation and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 that ensure the safety of premises, especially the electrical safety. To add to this, insurers often require an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) in their policies to insure said property. Ben Wood Group can assist in meeting these regulations and detect any potential risks. 

Electrical-related accidents and failures often stem from one of the following: 

  • Faulty wiring  
  • Overloading 
  • Overheating 
  • Damaged cables 
  • Power surges 
  • Defective equipment  

 

Our engineers are experts in the field and can identify any of the above, alongside the early detection signs to prevent incidents in the first place.
