Insurance & Litigation

Acuren provides highly experienced professional engineers who technically support litigation cases, insurance claims, and accident investigations. Our materials and metallurgical engineers have provided failure analysis, materials testing, documentation review, and expert witness services for many high profile and lengthy industrial disputes both in North America and internationally. Acuren has gained a reputation of providing excellent and unbiased 3rd party technical investigations to support the legal and insurance industries.

For pipeline leaks, fires, or any other unplanned incidents, Acuren personnel can mobilize to site, often in less than 24 hours. Acuren can act as a 3rd party witness, conduct initial assessment (including field material testing), gather information and evidence, and ensure samples are properly collected and transported for further investigation.

All investigations are conducted in accordance with the client’s requirements and timelines. Analysis can be very detailed and intensive or basic and fast. We approach each failure investigation with the potential for litigation in mind. Established procedures are used to provide complete and accurate documentation and confidentiality in the event that litigation support is required.

Our engineers have experience in supporting pipeline, utility, pulp and paper, petrochemical, manufacturing, and other industries.
