Cause Origin, Material Engineering
Initial examination of an incident site often leads to the origin area. The cause of the accident, however, usually requires detailed knowledge of the components and processes involved. ANDERSON ASSOCIATES analyzes operating data, maintenance data, and pertinent technical literature to the incident. This information is then compared to standard operating procedures and physical limitations of the involved materials/equipment. This careful analysis and comparison often enables ANDERSON ASSOCIATES to determine the cause and contributing factors of the incident.
