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.
