Engineering Failure Analysis

Our engineers at Kova Engineering (Saskatchewan) Ltd. possess the expertise, experience, and persistence to thoroughly investigate failures, uncover the root causes, provide detailed reports, and identify effective solutions to prevent future failures.

Our integrated, in-house team of engineers, technologists, and inspectors works collaboratively to deliver the best results for our clients. This synergy allows us to ensure precision, efficiency, and reliability in every project. Our approach to engineering failure analysis goes beyond determining the cause of failure; we conduct an exhaustive examination of operating parameters, component design, materials, and environmental factors.

Expertise in Engineering Failure Analysis

With decades of experience in evaluating material and component failures across a wide range of components, structures, and equipment, our comprehensive failure analysis capabilities are unparalleled. Our engineers employ advanced computer-aided analysis techniques that allow them to uncover failure modes that may not be apparent using less-advanced analysis tools. Kova has investigated losses ranging from $10,000 to $500 million.
