The causes of unplanned releases must be investigated in order to determine whether a condition is unique or could exist elsewhere in the system. The results of a failure analysis will inform further mitigative measures.
Applus+ Kiefner performs failure analyses that also consider any operational and environmental factors in order to determine the root cause of failure. In-the-field investigations can also be conducted on short notice.
The National Transportation Safety Board and the Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA) are familiar with our work. Should a company find themselves involved in an investigation, Applus+ Kiefner can serve as a qualified independent examination and testing lab.
Some of the services that Applus+ Kiefner can provide are:
- Failure Analysis
- Root Cause Analysis
- Anomaly Investigation
- Materials Testing
- Welding Engineering
