Aerial Infrared Thermography for the Country's Largest Facilities
The Aircraft-Based Side of Stockton Infrared
AIT Scan is the aerial division of Stockton Infrared Thermographic Services, headquartered in Randleman, North Carolina. Stockton Infrared was founded in 1989 by Greg Stockton, a Certified Infrared Thermographer. The aerial division was launched in 1994 to bring thermal inspection to the scale of campuses, military installations, cities, and the country’s largest facility portfolios.
What ground-based thermography can do for a single building, AIT Scan does for an entire portfolio in a single mission. Our aircraft carry thermal sensors engineered specifically for ground-surface temperature differentials at altitude — not consumer hardware, not adapted equipment. The deliverables are built to support engineering specifications, capital plans, and the workflows our clients already run.
What We Inspect
Aircraft-based infrared captures heat signatures across thousands of acres in a single survey window. The pattern of what’s warmer or cooler than the surrounding ground tells our clients where the system is operating as designed — and where it isn’t.
That pattern shows up in commercial flat roofs (subsurface moisture), underground steam and hot water distribution (leaks and saturated insulation), solar arrays (module-level defects), municipal waterways (illicit discharges and exfiltration), landfills (subsurface combustion and methane), and wildlife landscapes (population counts). One sensor platform, one analyst workflow, applied to whichever inspection problem the client brings.
