Fires and explosions can be catastrophic events that result in fatalities, injuries, regulatory impacts, and property damage. Our fire and explosion team leverages expertise in chemical, electrical, and mechanical engineering to deliver comprehensive assessments for a wide range of incidents.
From small appliance failures to large-scale petrochemical facility incidents, we provide expert support and solutions for projects of any scale. Our multidisciplinary team investigates the origin and cause of thermal incidents, fire and explosion incidents, and process upsets, evaluating hazards and heat transfer risks to help clients resume operations safely and efficiently.
We leverage our state-of-the-art facilities and advanced technologies to assess electrical distribution, fuel gas systems, and processing facilities using specialized testing, thermal and fluid dynamics modeling, and comprehensive thermal incident cause analysis. Our advanced modeling tools and analysis capabilities are essential for accurately assessing fire hazards, developing mitigation strategies, and enhancing engineering design and troubleshooting efforts.
Spanning residential, industrial, and commercial applications of thermal-fluid sciences and fire sciences, our experts are actively involved in the development and maintenance of industry standards and provide technical expertise to our clients.
