Aviation & Marine Incident Analysis
Fires and failures involving marine vessels and aircraft present unique challenges that require specialized knowledge of complex systems, materials, and regulatory standards. Our team conducts thorough investigations to determine the origin, cause, and contributing factors of these incidents, delivering evidence-based findings that hold up under scrutiny.
Aviation & Marine Failures and Fires
Marine and aviation failures often involve highly complex systems where a single malfunction can lead to significant damage or fire. Our forensic engineers investigate vessels and aircraft to determine the root cause of failures, from mechanical breakdowns and electrical faults to fuel system issues. When fires occur, we analyze burn patterns, materials, and system performance to identify ignition sources and contributing factors. These evaluations provide clear, defensible findings to support insurance claims, litigation, and safety improvements for operators and manufacturers.
What We Do
Marine Vessel Fires
Marine vessels face risks ranging from engine and mechanical breakdowns to electrical faults and onboard fires. We investigate propulsion systems, fuel delivery, and structural performance to identify root causes and determine whether damage stemmed from failure, fire, or both.
Aircraft Fires
Aircraft systems are complex, and failures in propulsion, avionics, or electrical wiring can result in significant malfunctions or onboard fires. Our evaluations focus on system performance, material behavior, and operating conditions to establish cause and sequence of events.
Fuel & Power Systems
Fuel leaks, electrical shorts, and power system malfunctions are leading contributors to both failures and fire incidents. We analyze system design, maintenance history, and failure patterns to pinpoint where and how the breakdown or ignition began.
Structural & Material Analysis
The performance of metals, composites, and insulation materials often determines the extent of both mechanical failure and fire spread. We study structural response and material degradation to explain how design, manufacturing, or service conditions influenced the outcome.
