Material Science Services services in Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and throughout the Lower Mainland, BC. Professional material engineering solutions.
Targeted investigations and advisory support for harsh operating environments.
We combine microscopy, spectroscopy, and mechanical testing to provide detailed insights into component performance and potential life extension strategies.
Material science and failure investigation services support industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and process facilities throughout Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and the Lower Mainland, BC. We provide material analysis, testing, and advisory services for equipment operating in harsh environments. Our services are essential for facilities managing material performance issues, equipment failures, or material selection decisions.
We support facilities facing material degradation, equipment failures, or material selection challenges. Our material science services serve oil & gas facilities, chemical plants, pulp & paper mills, power generation facilities, and manufacturing plants. Each investigation requires careful consideration of material properties, operating conditions, and failure mechanisms.
We begin by understanding operating conditions, material requirements, and performance issues. We perform surface analysis using microscopy and spectroscopy to examine material structure and composition. We conduct mechanical testing to evaluate material properties and performance characteristics.
We combine laboratory analysis with field conditions to understand material behavior in actual operating environments. We develop recommendations for material selection, protective measures, or design modifications that improve performance and extend equipment life. Our findings are documented in clear reports with photos, data tables, and actionable recommendations.
Our material science services follow ASTM testing standards, applicable material specifications, and industry best practices. All testing is performed to established standards and properly documented. Our recommendations support material selection decisions and equipment life extension programs throughout British Columbia.
