Failure analysis, evaluations, and testimony. What failed, why, and what the evidence supports.
What failed, why, and what the evidence supports.
When a grain structure fails, the cause is rarely the steel. It is usually the assumptions the steel was built on. We perform failure analysis on grain storage and handling structures, establish the mechanism, and present findings that hold up to scrutiny.
Our analysis starts from the same standards we help author, and from the physics of how grain actually loads a structure. We separate the contributing causes from the governing one, and we say what the evidence supports and what it does not.
We sell no steel and we build nothing, so the finding answers to the evidence, not to a commercial interest. That objectivity is the value. In testimony, it is the whole case.
A structural failure or collapse that requires an established cause.
A dispute between owner, manufacturer, contractor, or insurer.
A distressed structure where the responsible party is contested.
Litigation or arbitration requiring expert evaluation and testimony.
An insurer or owner needing an independent failure analysis.
The mechanism established, with contributing causes separated.
Findings stated to what the evidence supports.
Expert testimony grounded in the governing standards.
A failure is read against the loads and standards in force at the time. These frame the analysis.
Send what failed and what you have. We will tell you what the evidence will, and will not, support.
