Failure analysis and prevention focus on avoiding shutdowns and hazards associated with equipment and component failures. By isolating the causes of failures and making recommendations to prevent costly recurrences, we are able to help lower operating costs, identify design and process deficiencies and improve safety.
We frequently use finite element analysis (FEA) and/or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for law firms, attorneys, insurance companies and product manufacturers. Our consultants provide reliable, confidential and unbiased forensic analysis and testimony based on engineering principles and scientific assessment of physical evidence.
In 1997, we were a key engineering expert witness in a case in which our client was awarded, according to the National Law Journal, the tenth largest jury award of the year in the US ($95.06 million).
