Services
Failure Analysis
Our failure analysis service identifies root causes of equipment and material failures through comprehensive investigation. We examine fracture surfaces, microstructures, and operating conditions to determine whether failures resulted from material defects, design flaws, or improper usage. Clients receive detailed reports with recommendations to prevent recurrence.
Metallurgical Testing
Metallurgical testing evaluates material properties and performance characteristics of metal components. We conduct microstructural analysis, hardness testing, and alloy identification to assess material suitability and failure mechanisms. Our findings help clients improve material selection and manufacturing processes for enhanced reliability.
Forensic Engineering
Forensic engineering services support legal and insurance cases through scientific investigation of failures. We document evidence, reconstruct incidents, and provide expert testimony based on laboratory analysis. Our reports meet legal standards for admissibility in cases involving industrial accidents and product liability claims.
Materials Evaluation
Materials evaluation assesses performance characteristics of plastics, composites, and metals under operational conditions. We analyze high-density polyethylene, glass fiber reinforced plastic, and other advanced materials to determine failure modes. Clients use our findings to improve material selection and product design.
Industrial Accident Reconstruction
Industrial accident reconstruction investigates workplace incidents using engineering principles and forensic techniques. We analyze equipment failures, environmental factors, and human interactions to determine causation. Our reports help clients implement safety improvements and address liability concerns through factual analysis.
