Failure Analysis Projects
Failure Analysis Projects – Investigations and Engineering Solutions on Equipment & Structures to Prevent Recurrence. Our team of experts in engineering, metallurgy & welding investigate the root cause of structural failures due to thermal / transients, vibrations, thermal fatigue, etc., to ensure structural integrity, and maximize equipment reliability – ultimately controlling costs for owners/ users.
See our Blog on Failure Analysis.
Some of our projects have included:
- Chemical Tumbler
- NASA Heat Exchanger
- Hydroelectric Turbine Shaft
- Cracked Ductwork
- Cracked Tube-to-Tubesheet Welds in a Chemical Reactor
- Cracked PSA Vessels
- 30 Ton Press
- Cracked Tube-to-Tubesheet Welds in a Sulfuric Acid Plant
- 1,400 Ton Hydraulic Press
- Fracking Pump
