Our mechanical engineering consultants are experts in design evaluation, failure analysis, and risk assessment with technical expertise spanning construction, transportation, building services, and power and energy industries. We focus on understanding the performance, dynamics, damage tolerance, and failure modes of machines and structures, tackling issues such as stress, fatigue, and fracture mechanics to help clients understand and prevent failures.
As mechanical systems grow more complex and the demand for reliable and efficient solutions increases, our in-house capabilities—including advanced 3D modeling, stress and fatigue analysis, finite element analysis (FEA), fracture mechanics, and specialized instrumentation—enable us to accurately diagnose and address issues affecting equipment and other mechanical systems.
We offer comprehensive evaluations, investigations, and analyses for our clients through our multidisciplinary and collaborative approach. Our Applied Mechanics team provides analytical services in solid mechanics and fluid mechanics, bridging the gap between mechanical engineering and material science.
Our advanced laboratories and inspection facilities are equipped with scanning electron microscopes (SEMs), optical microscopy, 3D laser scanning, radiography, computed tomography (CT), thermal (IR) cameras, and specialized data acquisition systems, and are designed to host or broadcast multi-party inspections with ease. We explain the science behind the design, production, and operation of complex systems, and we deliver actionable insights to help avoid the cascading effects of mechanical failures.
