Exova's failure investigation caters to manufacturers dealing with customer complaints, consumer protection bodies, insurance companies, end users (from all major industry sectors e.g. aerospace, defence, oil and gas and pharmaceuticals etc), importers and those interested in reverse engineering. We have many years of experience providing failure investigation and related field investigations across a wide range of industry sectors. Exova has professionally qualified metallurgists, chemists, materials and polymer scientists who are experienced in report preparation for litigation support, performing routine product verification and failure investigation lab reports.

Failure Investigation Facilities:
Exova’s failure investigation labs are equipped to provide full analytical, mechanical testing and component testing service. Exova has a large number of scanning electron microscopes, fitted with analytical accessories, plus light microscopes and photographic systems. Portable chemical analysis and metallographic equipment is available to facilitate the in-situ examination of failed components (where the component cannot be removed from service or is too large to transport).

Exova has many years experience in this type of on-site failure investigation, having provided failure investigation in challenging environments such as offshore oil and gas installations or inside a power generation plant.
