Forensic Engineering

CMM Inc. provides practical and thorough forensic analysis of failed systems and/or components performed by engineers with extensive field experience and analysis skills. When necessary, supplemental laboratory services such as metallurgical analysis, non-destructive and destructive testing is utilized to augment/support CMM Inc. forensic analysis.

The main advantage of using CMM Inc. for forensic analysis is that CMM Inc. provides a non-biased analysis that focuses on determining the root cause of the failure for future prevention and not to just arbitrarily propose to repair, replace, redesign and/or sell the client a new replacement part.

CMM Inc. can provide forensic analysis in the following areas:

  • Machinery and machinery components such as shafting, bearings, gearing, drive systems, machine frames.
  • Overhead crane components including complete crane/hoist analysis
  • Overhead lifting devices such as hooks, lifting device assemblies, wire rope and chain lifting devices/components.
  • Mechanical fasteners.
  • Piping, process storage and pressure vessels.
  • Building structures and machinery/equipment support structures.
  • Building foundations and machinery/equipment support foundations.
  • Electrical system and/or components.
  • Site investigations.
