Failure investigation & root cause analysis

Systematic failure investigation and root cause analysis support for equipment failures, pipeline ruptures, leaks, and integrity incidents — including on-site evidence collection, metallurgical investigation, damage mechanism identification, and expert support for owner, insurer, and regulator reporting.

TES Canada supports technical failure investigations for pressure equipment, pipeline, welding, and corrosion failures. Our investigation approach systematically identifies the damage mechanism, failure mode, contributing factors, and root cause — translating findings into practical corrective actions and prevention measures that improve the long-term reliability of the affected systems. Engineering investigation reports can support regulatory notification, insurance requirements, and internal management review.
