Expert Witness

Carrying out failure analysis or Expert Witness work in today's environment is not easy.

We dont always have the luxury of visiting site to carry out a full evaluation. We therefore have to understand what the scenario is by interrogating the available online documents and photographs.

 

It was was the case for Corrosion Integrity Management recently in trying to evaluate the root cause of failure on a Petrochemical Plant. 

 

The owner/operator had put the failure down to poor construction practices but it became evident there were other factors at play.

 

Shiplo Zaman used his Engineering skills to best practice and Dr Simon Hu carried out a study on the Stainless Steel corrosion mechanisms. The report was completed in record time and offered a number of alternative arguments to that positioned by the client.

  • The case was brought to Tribunal and CIM successfully defended the Engineering House. The Lawyer wrote: “Please see attached the Tribunal’s determination with respect to the painting claim. You will see that the Engineering House was successful in fully defending the Owner Operators defect claim, which was dismissed in full. Your help in achieving this result has been invaluable. We hope to work together again in the future.“

​

  • The claim was defended based on a highly detailed evaluation of the facts, practical knowledge of industry and a simple response to the Respondents highly complex Expert submissions. The Tribunal could understand Mr Mobbs submission based on simple facts delivered succinctly.
