Boiler, Mechanical, and Specialized Machinery Failure
Investigation and Analysis

Boiler, mechanical, and specialized machinery failures often involve injury, loss of life, down-time, and resulting damage. Analysis may indicate a flaw in the material, design or electrical system.

Boiler and machinery breakdowns occur primarily in either the mechanical, electrical or pressure systems, with electrical failures accounting for the largest number and most expensive losses.

WERC helps owners and managers isolate problems and find solutions that will get their systems up and running again quickly.

WERC evaluates maintenance, vibration, wear, operator use and associated systems relative to the failure.

WERC has extensive experience dealing with the failures of commercial and residential mechanical systems.

WERC also performs metallurgical analysis of fractures, material issues, and weld failures as well as investigations of welding accidents, machinery injury accidents, and manufacturing accidents.
