ERA will be running the popular “Understanding Failure Analysis Investigation” Course on 13 November 2008.

The course is aimed at loss adjusters, plant operators, designers and asset managers. It is designed to help attendees manage the application of failure analysis so that they can control the repercussions of failure and reduce the financial impact. There are generic sessions on understanding failure analysis and failure analysis techniques. There are also more focused sessions on metallurgical, polymeric, power systems electronic components and gas turbine failures.

Breadth of expertise
Our forensic engineers have a wide-ranging expertise to distinguish, for example, between a mechanical failure caused by an electrical fault; an electrical fault caused by a design weakness; or premature failure caused by inappropriate operation. This expertise is the key to getting to the root of the problem rather than just describing the superficial immediate cause, ERA has particularly strong expertise in the following areas.
