Frequently when a design fails to perform adequately,
resolution of the problem only occurs once the process of litigation has been
started. In order that a satisfactory outcome can be reached, the supplier or
purchaser of the equipment often seeks independent expert opinion as to the
cause of the failure.
Eatec has significant experience of performing
design and failure assessments of mechanical structures for litigation and
insurance purposes, with it being engaged to act as an Expert Consultant /
