Services
Failure Analysis
Our failure analysis identifies root causes of material and equipment failures through fracture surface examination, microstructural analysis, and mechanical property testing. We serve industries, insurers, and legal teams by reconstructing incidents and preventing recurrence. Clients receive detailed reports with actionable recommendations.
Metallurgical Testing
Metallurgical testing evaluates metal components for defects, corrosion, and performance issues using metallography, alloy identification, and hardness testing. We assess heat treatment effects and material suitability for applications. Results guide material selection and fabrication improvements.
Plastics & Composites Analysis
We analyze plastic and composite material failures like fractures in HDPE and GFRP using advanced imaging and testing. Our team assesses material properties, degradation factors, and design flaws. Clients gain insights to enhance product reliability and material choices.
Forensic Engineering
Forensic engineering combines laboratory evaluations and technical research to investigate industrial accidents and property losses. We document findings through macro photography, fracture studies, and standards compliance reviews. Services support litigation and risk mitigation.
Oil Field Analysis
Specialized oil field analysis examines equipment failures in drilling and production systems. We assess corroded piping, fractured components, and material degradation under operational loads. Clients receive tailored solutions to improve equipment longevity and safety.
