Many of our engineers and technical specialists have lengthy careers in construction, operation, supervision or plant engineering. These backgrounds can be helpful when monitoring repair costs, working with plant or building personnel to minimize downtime costs, and providing on-site monitoring of the repairs.
A lot of our engineers and technical specialists are building designers or retired chief engineers from original equipment manufacturing companies that are familiar with the design or the manufacture of the pieces of equipment or building components that are the subject of our investigation. We find such engineers have the ability to put their mind's eye in the equipment or building component and visualize what would happen under abnormal conditions. This ability can be helpful when we investigate the cause of the damage or injury.
We are masters of the complex and are skilled at keeping the simple, simple. We adapt our approach in keeping with our clients' needs.
