| The diverse experience of FEI professionals encompasses a wide spectrum of metallurgical, statistical and failure analysis endeavor, across a vast range of industries, products and incidents, from step ladders, garden hose nozzles and hunter tree stands, to complex transportation, utility construction sites and missile systems. Specializing in failure analysis and corrosion, we have conducted investigations and examinations, and been responsible for pronouncing cause and origin, in many of the nation’s most high profile incidents and disasters, as well as for large projects, including but not limited to: - TWA Flight 800 mid-air explosion aviation disaster (Long Island, N.Y.)
-
Wilberg Mine disaster fire and explosion (Orangeville, UT) -
Mid-air breakup of F-15C during training mission -
M/V Emily S. / Morris J. Berman maritime environmental disaster (San Juan, P.R.) -
'Sunset Limited' train derailment railroad disaster (Mobile, AL) -
Sudafed, Tylenol, Girl Scout Cookie product tampering -
Scaffold collapse at nuclear power plant construction site (Willow Island, W.V.) -
Achille Lauro cruise ship incident (terrorism) -
U.S.S. Iowa explosion -
Debilitating corrosion of utility power plant within 1 year of construction (Cali, Colombia) FEI professionals are nationally recognized and have been the recipients of numerous awards, with cases and media interviews featured on CBS '60 Minutes', The Learning Channel, Discovery, National Geographic, Dateline, 20/20, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), 48 Hours, Forensic Files, CNN and others, in a variety of academic disciplines to include metallurgy, materials science, statistics, psychology, forensic science, corrosion, explosion physics, and failure analysis. FEI professionals include a former FBI Chief Forensic Metallurgist, NTSB aviation, railroad, marine and pipeline accident investigators, forensic engineer specializing in ballistics, firearms and toolmarks , and distinguished professors from respected U.S. and foreign universities in metallurgy, materials science, corrosion, physics, statistics, law, psychology, forensic science, biomedical and mechanical engineering.Professional affiliations include the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE), American Society for Materials International (ASM), American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), American Foundry Society (AFS), The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS), American College of Forensic Examiners Institute (ACFEI), and American Board of Forensic Engineering & Technology (ABFET), among others.
