Incidents cover a large range of issues and generally result in loss and downtime. Infrastructure can involve railways, water services, road and tunnel networks. Commercial cases can cover items such as corrosion failures of plumbing systems in apartment blocks, hotels and hospitals, resulting in serious building damage. The many causes of failure can be either poor design, incorrect material, manufacturing process or equipment abuse.
Dwan Forensic Engineering have carried out Failure Analysis and Fracture Investigations on many domestic and commercial cases. We are regularly involved in Litigation and Expert Witness report provision for numerous clients. Commercial accidents cover a very large range of issues and generally more serious injuries and costs are involved. This requires investigation to get to the root cause of failure. Again, the sources of failure requiring investigation can range from building materials and equipment, rotating machinery and cutting tools. Dwan Forensic Engineering have carried out numerous failure investigations into these typical products. We have a very wide repertoire of experience in analysing industrial equipment.
