Forensic Investigation and Failure Analysis

Forensic engineering services provide collection and analysis services to help determine the cause of a failure, and prevent it from recurring.

 

Failure of machinery and structures often result in property damage, business interruption, pollution, and personal injuries. ASC offers failure analysis services to identify the immediate and root cause of failure. Investigations typically focus on operating parameters, system, and component design, as well as considering the equipment's condition and maintenance history. Through identifying the consequences and cost of failures, we can then advise on run, repair, or replace decisions.
