Our engineering experience in the energy and petrochemical industries ranges from large losses involving fires, explosions and detonations to individual equipment failures. Our engineers have an excellent knowledge of plant equipment and an intimate knowledge of a broad range of specific fixed and rotating equipment, which comes from many years of hands-on experience.
