FORENSIC ENGINEERING

EBDG has significant experience with engineering forensic investigations and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) 

Throughout our history, we have worked for many of our clients and legal firms to identify the cause and effects of ship structure failures.  EBDG maintains a staff with in-depth expertise in most areas of marine design, construction and operations.  Senior engineers are experienced in research, analysis, pretrial preparation, depositions and trial testimony.

Some cases our engineers have participated in:  

  • Failure analysis

  • Design for safe operation

  • Stability

  • Incident reconstruction

  • Computer renderings and simulations

  • Testimony analysis

  • Regulatory issues

 Some examples of our forensic and FMEA studies include the following: 

  • Deck equipment failures

  • Vessel stability incidences

  • Hull structure cracking

  • Fabrication and installation faults

  • Corrosion criteria analysis

  • Steering gear failure modes and redundancy

  • Dynamic positioning system FMEA studies
