Expert Engineers with over 40 years experience
The principles of mechanical engineering apply to a broad range of devices and equipment such as large excavators or a small microchip sensor in a car’s airbag system.
When industrial machinery or equipment fails, the effects can quickly spread through out the organization. SEAL’s engineers are trained in mechanical forensic investigation. As a result, we have the expertise to evaluate the incident and learn how it happened and how it can be prevented in the future.
In a mechanical failure situation, components and devices can be examined and tested to determine modes of failure as well as level of compliance with applicable regulatory codes and industry standards. SEAL’s mechanical engineers can evaluate a large variety of systems and component failures. They are fluent in techniques of discovery and investigative analysis of building and engineering failures. This gives us the ability to assist clients in resolving liability or claims that may result in legal or adversarial positions. As a result, we have provided these services for some of the most complex disputes related to mechanical engineering failures.
SEAL mechanical engineers determine causes for failures and damage to a wide range of mechanical equipment, ranging from large industrial machinery, oilfield equipment, heating and cooling systems, electrical components, cranes and other lifting devices, earthmoving and mining equipment, conveyors, manufacturing equipment, pumps, and pipeline systems. Specialized testing may be required, and various testing equipment can be designed and constructed to aid the analysis.
Our investigators are licensed professional engineers with over 40 years of experience in inspecting and testing industrial machinery and systems. Through prompt onsite inspection and extensive analysis, they can clearly determine the cause or causes of the incident. As a result, assessing the scope of damage can determine if equipment design, installation, or maintenance was a factor.
SEAL mechanical engineers can assess performance, design, safety, and installation of mechanical systems in any environment.
