A compressed air leak, harmonic distortion, a dead battery cell. We measure what is costing you money, work out what it costs per year, and write down how to fix it — in one report.
01Company
In any plant, the most expensive faults are usually the quietest ones. A busbar connection runs hot for months, a compressor works for nothing, a UPS battery dies. None of them raise an alarm; all of them eventually turn into an invoice or an unplanned stoppage. Forensis measures them on site and turns them into a report you can act on.
From compressed air lines to switchboards and UPS battery strings, we measure while your plant is running.
Every finding comes with the instrument identity, calibration record and measurement conditions. You can hand it to an insurer or an auditor.
The report does not stop at “there is a problem”. It states the root cause, the annual cost and the workable options. The quotation is a separate document.
02Services
Each one addresses a specific problem in your plant and ends with a report you can read and share. Taking one does not commit you to the others.
Compressed air leak detection
We walk the plant with an ultrasonic detector. We find the leaks, photograph them, tag them, and work out what each one costs per year. Production does not stop; in most plants it is done in a single visit.

Power quality measurement
We leave a network analyser on site and record for one to two weeks: THD, harmonic spectrum, dips and swells, transients, phase imbalance, power factor and load profile. We find which load the distortion comes from.

UPS and critical battery testing
We test the string cell by cell: voltage, internal resistance, temperature and imbalance. Your UPS may look like it is working; the dead cell inside it only shows up when you measure.

03Problems
Each row below pairs a situation we meet often in the field with what Forensis does about it.
| Problem | What it costs | Forensis answer |
|---|---|---|
| 01Reactive energy charge | Once the limit is exceeded, reactive consumption appears on the bill | PowerCheck + compensation and filter analysis |
| 02Harmonic distortion | Transformer heating, equipment failure, early compensation failure | PowerCheck + filter assessment |
| 03Compressed air leaks | Continuous energy loss, compressor running for nothing | AirScan leak map and repair priority list |
| 04Hot panels and connections | Fire risk, unplanned stoppage, insurance exposure | Thermal survey and monitoring proposal |
| 05UPS battery failure | Unexpected outage under critical load | BatteryCheck cell health report |
| 06Energy management obligations | Audit and declaration requirements above 1,000 TOE | Measurement and data infrastructure support |
| 07Carbon data for export | Buyers asking for verified energy and emission data | Energy and emission measurement infrastructure |
| 08MV insulation degradation | Major failure risk, extended downtime | Partial discharge measurement (advanced capability) |
04Method
Anyone can buy the same class of instrument. The difference is whether the calibration is traceable, whether the report is written to the same discipline every time, and whether the result stands up in front of a third party.
Our commitment
Our measurement rests on traceable calibration, our report follows a standard format, and our findings are defensible to a third party.
Every instrument we use goes to site under a traceable calibration certificate. Serial number, calibration date and stated uncertainty appear in the report.
Measurement conditions, connection method and procedure appear in the same place in every report. Nobody has to hunt for how something was measured.
Findings come in a neutral report. If you want a quotation it arrives later, as its own document. You do not have to buy anything from us to keep the report.
The promise is not “we have the instrument” — it is “the entire measurement chain is documented”.
05Process
Each step builds on the one before it. You see what we measured at every stage and why it mattered.
We come to the site and measure under real operating conditions.
Field work
We find not what the problem is, but why it is happening.
Analysis
We work out the annual cost, the risk and the likelihood of downtime.
Quantification
We set out workable options with their relative merits.
Engineering
For recurring problems we install continuous monitoring. If it does not recur, we do not.

07Contact
The first step is a site measurement and a clear report. If you have not settled on what you need yet, write anyway — we will work out together which measurement is worth doing.
