Failure Investigation & Forensics services in Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and throughout the Lower Mainland, BC. Professional material engineering solutions.
Rapid mobilization for on-site evidence collection, lab teardown, and causal analysis.
We connect metallurgical findings to operating data to provide evidence-based recommendations that support informed decision-making.
We provide failure investigation and forensics services for facilities across Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Coquitlam, and the Lower Mainland, BC. Our services support industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and process facilities experiencing equipment failures or material defects. We investigate failures to identify root causes and develop prevention strategies. Our services are essential for facilities managing reliability issues or investigating safety incidents.
We support facilities facing equipment failures, material defects, or structural issues. Our failure investigation services serve oil & gas facilities, chemical plants, manufacturing facilities, and infrastructure projects. Each investigation requires careful consideration of failure evidence, operating conditions, and material properties to identify root causes.
We begin by rapidly mobilizing to collect on-site evidence before it is disturbed. We maintain chain-of-custody documentation to support evidence integrity. We perform laboratory teardown and analysis including fractography, crack propagation analysis, and fatigue characterization to understand failure mechanisms.
We connect metallurgical findings to operating data to identify contributing factors. We develop expert reports that document findings and root causes. We provide evidence-based recommendations aligned with applicable codes and industry standards to support informed decision-making and prevention strategies.
Our failure investigation services follow industry best practices and use validated analytical methods. All investigations are performed thoroughly and documented to support owner decision-making. Our recommendations address root causes and support effective prevention strategies throughout British Columbia.
