Root Cause and Failure Analyses
IES’s engineering skill diversity and in-depth knowledge of asset management principles position it to better understand the issues leading to equipment failure. In doing so we are able to comprehensively conduct pragmatic and effective failure and/or root cause analyses (RCA).
These skills include:
- Knowledge and operational experience regarding metallurgical, design, fabrication, process and corrosion related root causes of failure.
- The capability to conduct assessments that determine the root cause through examination of the evidence and/or reproduction of the failure mode using advanced engineering analysis techniques.
