Clients in both public and private sectors rely on our expertise to answer complex questions in the power and energy industry. We address challenges ranging from pipeline failures to transformer explosions that impact workplace safety, consumer protection, and environmental outcomes. Our experts in renewable energy, power generation, and oil and gas distribution communicate proactively during each phase of a project so that operations can resume safely and efficiently with minimal disruption and downtime.
Our multidisciplinary team, including thermal, electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineers, understands all factors impacting the integrity and reliability of power and energy systems, power plant facilities, and processes. With decades of experience evaluating and investigating the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of power and energy operations, our expertise spans every phase of a project.
Our consultants leverage in-house testing capabilities such as fluid dynamics modeling, comprehensive fire cause analysis, and computed tomography (CT) to assess origin and cause of energy equipment failure, develop mitigation strategies for oil refineries, gas plants, and power generation facilities, and enhance engineering design and troubleshooting efforts.
