Forensic investigation is a phrase used in industry to describe a technical failure analysis, understanding what caused a component or system failure, and how it can be avoided in the future.

We have a wide array of forensic capabilities, and we can assemble a team to meet your need for any investigation into failures of electrical transmission equipment and cables, transformers and substations, materials, polymers and soft materials, and more. We can even undertake forensic analysis of, irradiated materials from nuclear facilities.

Our broad range of material and component experts, power plant designers, and power plant operators when coupled with our numerous materials laboratories, make us a primary choice for forensic investigation in the nuclear and other power industries. We are able to help you identify the cause of your component’s failure, and what is needed to prevent a similar failure in the future.

With our comprehensive capability to get to the root of a problem, we can help get your plant back online, safely and reliably in the shortest possible time.
