Failure Analysis

Failure Analysis is the process of determining why a component or system no longer performs as they were originally designed.Often, failures occur without warning causing both injury and significant financial loss. We have worked on hundreds of failure projects involving metals and non-metals over a wide range of industries. Let our experience remove the guess work so that you can move forward.

Using the available evidence and modern materials analysis equipment we can determine why a product failed and offer solutions to prevent future failures. Our failure analysis services include:

Selection and preservation of evidence
Non-destructive evaluation (NDE)
Exemplar comparison / laboratory testing to recreate failure (if appropriate)
Determination of failure source /cause
Detailed report describing findings
Expert witness / Insurance subrogation
Recommendation for process improvements to prevent future incidents
