Services >> Materials Engineering

We employ over 50 professional materials engineers to help throughout all stages in a product life cycle - design, inspection, maintenance, repair, and failure analysis. Our engineers maintain their technical competency through in-house and external training, participation in specification-writing bodies, and membership in several industry associations. They regularly make presentations at client facilities, conferences and specialist society meetings.
 
As part of our comprehensive inspection and testing services, our materials engineers work alongside our NDT and laboratory technicians. This integrated approach is unique and offers clients the total solution.  Whether it's understanding the failure of an oil pipeline weld or roller bearing, selecting the right material, or designing a component for maximum long-term durability - our engineers are able to provide quick, detailed, and cost-effective detailed analysis
 
Engineering services include:
 
- Selection of metallic and/or non-metallic materials for the construction of components operating in highly corrosive environments, either in existing industrial facilities or in plants under construction.
 
- Material selection performed in conjunction with the analysis of a failed component.
 
- Recommending modifications to existing processing procedures or the application of alternative processing techniques to improve component durability.
 
- Comparison of materials using laboratory test techniques designed to simulate operational conditions. Testing can include strength evaluation, corrosion resistance, notch toughness, fatigue durability, wear resistance, and other evaluations as needed.
