What is Failure Analysis?

Failure analysis is the practice of thoroughly and systematically investigating the root cause and mechanism of failure of components. G2MT Labs specializes in failure analysis and corrosion assessment, and understands how to use knowledge about the failure to ensure similar failures are prevented. In many cases, customers will also need to implement a fitness-for-service program to select an appropriate maintenance plan that ensures the ongoing integrity of the component over time. We can work with you to solve your problems no matter how big or small.

A wide variety of potential customers utilize our failure analysis services, including insurers, operators, and engineers, for consulting in the energy sector, pipelines, drill pipe, refineries and other chemical processors, NASA and aerospace, manufacturers, onshore and offshore welding, and more. We also work with partners who provide fitness-for-service, fire damage assessment, and other engineering services to help customers rapidly repair any problems and safely resume operation.
