Even with the use of best engineering, materials and intentions, product failures will occur. Sometimes the premature failures of the components are associated with life and financial implications that lead to litigation. In many of these cases, understanding the materials quality, workmanship and service conditions in a failed component can be critical to ascertain the cause(s) for such failure and to identify the responsible individual(s) so that justice can be deliver to the affected party/parties.
Founder Managing Director, Dr Asim Bag has served as investigation team leader and/or expert witness testimony for many major failure investigation cases for steel, Oil & Gas, offshore industries, chemical plants and defense industries for more than 25 years. Dr Bag has acted as expert witness in Singapore High court for number of cases. Over the years Dr Bag has conducted over 500 major failure analyses for various industries.
Examat engineers with advanced degrees and many years’ experience in manufacturing, testing and research environment, use highly advanced analytical instrumentations to establish the possible failure casue(s) with certainty. Our engineers have the expertise to provide the technical data and the communication skills for credible expert reports and testimony when required. Impartial expertise is an imperative in our business.
Through multi-disciplinary, systematic analysis, inspection and testing we analyse the failure holistically, examining related systems, material characteristics, individual parts, maintenance, environment, product specs, history, design, existing conditions, or a combination of such factors. We determine how and why the failure occurred, focusing on the mode and the root cause(s), whether it be the material deficiency, manufacturing fault, misuses of the component and/or nature acts.
