Our Services
Inspections & Surveys

Baseline-RTS

Baseline delivers independent inspection and survey services that identify defects, inefficiencies, and developing failures before they lead to unplanned downtime, energy loss, or secondary damage. Our inspections are outcome-focused, using proven techniques and professional-grade instrumentation, with detailed reporting to support maintenance, reliability, and asset management decisions.

Thermographic Surveys

Thermographic surveys use infrared thermal imaging technology to detect abnormal temperature patterns that indicate developing faults within electrical and mechanical equipment. Because many failures produce heat signatures long before visible damage occurs, thermography is one of the most effective predictive maintenance tools available. Baseline RTS performs professional thermographic inspections across industrial, commercial, and infrastructure environments, covering electrical distribution boards and switchgear, motor control centres, transformers, motors and bearings, process piping, and insulation and heat loss analysis.

The key advantage of thermal imaging is that faults can be identified without shutting down equipment – allowing maintenance teams to spot overheating components, high resistance connections, overloaded circuits, and mechanical friction before they lead to costly failures or downtime. Regular thermographic surveys help reduce the risk of electrical fires, improve the reliability of critical assets, and support a structured predictive maintenance strategy. If you’d like to arrange a professional thermal imaging survey of your facility, contact Baseline RTS today to discuss your requirements.

Internal Building Inspection

Ultrasonic Leak Detection

Compressed air systems are widely recognised as one of the largest sources of hidden energy loss within industrial facilities, and even small leaks can significantly increase compressor load and electricity consumption. Baseline RTS performs ultrasonic leak detection surveys using high-sensitivity acoustic instruments that identify the high-frequency sound produced by escaping gases, allowing leaks to be located quickly and accurately while equipment remains fully operational. Typical applications include compressed air, nitrogen, oxygen, and process gas leaks, vacuum system leaks, valve leakage, and electrical corona and tracking detection.

Following the survey, Baseline RTS provides a comprehensive leak register along with estimated energy loss figures, helping organisations prioritise repairs and quantify potential cost savings. Ultrasonic leak detection is one of the most straightforward ways to reduce unnecessary compressor energy consumption, improve system efficiency and reliability, and deliver measurable reductions in energy costs. If you suspect your facility may have compressed air or gas leaks, speak with Baseline RTS today to arrange a survey.

Steam Trap Surveys

Steam traps are essential components in any steam distribution system, ensuring that condensate is removed while preventing the loss of live steam. When traps fail, they either fail open – allowing live steam to escape and waste energy – or fail closed, causing condensate build-up and potential system damage. Baseline RTS conducts steam trap inspection surveys using a combination of ultrasonic detection and thermal verification techniques, allowing accurate diagnosis of each trap’s condition while systems remain fully operational.

Our steam trap surveys cover identification of failed traps, confirmation of correct operation, steam loss and energy waste assessment, and prioritised repair recommendations – giving organisations a clear picture of where losses are occurring and what action to take. Regular steam trap surveys help reduce energy costs, maintain steam system performance, and protect process equipment from the effects of condensate build-up. Contact Baseline RTS today to arrange a comprehensive steam trap inspection programme for your facility.

Electrical & Mechanical Condition Monitoring

Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) focuses on monitoring the real operating condition of equipment rather than relying solely on time-based maintenance intervals. Baseline RTS supports predictive maintenance and reliability programmes by providing targeted inspections that identify early indicators of equipment deterioration, covering electrical thermal inspections, bearing condition monitoring, ultrasonic lubrication checks, mechanical system diagnostics, and valve and process equipment inspection.

By identifying early warning signs of failure, condition monitoring allows organisations to plan maintenance activities strategically rather than reacting to unexpected breakdowns. This approach reduces the risk of unplanned downtime, extends the working life of critical assets, and helps maintenance teams allocate resources where they are needed most. If you are looking to implement a predictive maintenance or condition-based monitoring programme, get in touch with Baseline RTS to discuss how we can support your reliability strategy.

Vibration Analysis & Motion Amplification Inspections

Certain mechanical faults – such as imbalance, misalignment, looseness, and structural resonance — can only be properly diagnosed using specialised vibration analysis techniques. For these advanced diagnostics, Baseline RTS works alongside trusted reliability partner RMS Reliability, specialists in vibration analysis and motion amplification technologies. These tools allow engineers to visualise vibration behaviour and identify hidden mechanical problems that may otherwise go undetected, with applications spanning rotating machinery fault diagnosis, structural vibration analysis, mechanical resonance detection, and motion amplification visualisation.

Through this collaboration, Baseline RTS clients benefit from advanced mechanical diagnostic expertise delivered by dedicated vibration specialists, without the need to source separate providers. If you are experiencing persistent machinery vibration or unexplained mechanical issues, contact Baseline RTS and we can arrange specialist vibration analysis through our partner engineers.

Internal Building Inspection

Thermal imaging is not only a powerful tool for industrial equipment – it is equally effective for inspecting building structures, insulation systems, and hidden defects within properties. Baseline RTS provides internal building inspections that help identify energy inefficiencies, moisture ingress, and hidden electrical issues that may not be visible during conventional inspections. Applications include insulation defects and heat loss, damp and moisture detection, hidden water leaks, thermal bridging in walls and roofs, and electrical overheating within building systems.

These inspections are valuable across commercial properties, industrial buildings, and residential structures, helping property owners identify problems before they escalate into costly repairs. Whether you are concerned about energy performance, unexplained damp, or the condition of building services, a thermal imaging survey provides clear, evidence-based findings. Contact Baseline RTS today to arrange a structured building inspection and detailed report.
