Failure analysis for industrial mechanical components

We specialise in failure investigations aimed at identifying the root causes of damage, degradation or fracture in industrial components such as shafts, fasteners, gears, pulleys, piping systems and pressure vessels.

Through comprehensive mechanical, chemical, metallurgical and microstructural analyses, we provide accurate and reliable technical assessments to support informed decision-making.

Our investigations are designed to identify pre-existing defects in base materials, welded joints or manufacturing processes, as well as to determine the mechanisms responsible for failure. These may include fatigue, stress corrosion cracking, overload, material degradation and other service-related phenomena.

At the conclusion of each investigation, we issue a detailed technical report containing the results of all examinations, testing activities and engineering assessments carried out.

By understanding the root causes of component failures, manufacturers, operators and designers can improve product design, optimise maintenance strategies, and enhance the safety, reliability and performance of industrial equipment.

This service also provides valuable technical expertise and independent engineering support for a wide range of applications, from industrial troubleshooting and quality assurance to insurance claims, litigation support and forensic engineering investigations.

Our experienced specialists combine extensive technical expertise with advanced laboratory equipment and testing capabilities to deliver the high-quality investigations and engineering support our clients require.
