Aerial Correctional Facility Infrared Surveys for Secure Sites

AITscan provides aircraft-based correctional facility infrared surveys for roofs, utilities, central plants, and secure infrastructure without ground access.

Prison Inspection That Stays Outside the Fence

A correctional facility infrared survey allows facilities and engineering teams to inspect roofs, central plant systems, underground utilities, and other infrastructure without sending ground crews into secure areas. PrisonScanIR™ is designed around the access, escort, and operational constraints that make conventional inspection difficult inside correctional environments.

AITscan’s aircraft operate at altitude and can capture the full facility footprint within a coordinated survey window. That means no roof access, no inmate-area exposure, no escort requirements, and no added security workload during the initial inspection.

Depending on facility needs, PrisonScanIR™ can incorporate aerial infrared roof scanning, underground steam leak detection, high temperature hot water leak detection, and solar field infrared surveys within one secure-facility inspection program.

Why Corrections Operations Teams Choose PrisonScanIR™

No Ground Access Required
Aircraft-based inspection avoids roof access, escorts, inmate-area exposure, and other security coordination inside the secure perimeter.
Decades of Institutional Work
AITscan has supported institutional and government clients since 1989 with workflows suited to facilities, engineering, procurement, and review processes.
Defensible Documentation
PrisonScanIR™ reports provide thermal evidence that can support engineering review, capital planning, infrastructure documentation, and audit workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The aircraft operates at altitude in accordance with FAA regulations. PrisonScanIR™ is focused on thermal infrastructure data rather than surveillance imagery, allowing AITscan to evaluate roofs, utilities, and other facility systems without ground crews entering secure areas.
A typical correctional facility infrared survey can often be completed in a single daytime or overnight flight. Initial ranked findings are generally delivered within two to four weeks, followed by the full engineering report.
Survey deliverables are provided directly to the appropriate facilities team under the procurement and confidentiality terms of the engagement. Findings are formatted to support engineering review, capital planning, infrastructure documentation, and audit workflows.
AITscan works with correctional agencies through state DOC procurement, federal BOP contracting, and other authority procurement processes. A working session can help determine the appropriate contracting path before the correctional facility infrared survey is scheduled.
