Comprehensive Fire and Chemical Investigation

Our experts combine scientific principles with field experience to provide definitive analysis of fire, chemical, and combustion incidents

Fire Origin and Cause Analysis

Systematic investigation of fire incidents to determine origin, cause, and spread patterns. We employ scientific methodology to identify ignition sources, evaluate fire dynamics, and assess compliance with fire safety standards.

Spontaneous Combustion Evaluation

Expert assessment of spontaneous combustion incidents involving various materials including chemicals, agricultural products, and industrial materials. We analyze thermal properties, oxidation rates, and storage conditions.

Chemical Process Analysis

Comprehensive evaluation of chemical processes, reactions, and incidents. We assess process safety, reaction kinetics, and material compatibility to determine causation in chemical-related accidents and failures.

Explosion Investigation

Detailed analysis of explosion incidents including dust explosions, vapor cloud explosions, and chemical reactions. We determine blast patterns, overpressure effects, and identify contributing factors.

Product Fire Analysis

Investigation of fires involving consumer products, industrial equipment, and vehicles. We evaluate design defects, manufacturing issues, and failure modes that may have contributed to fire incidents.

Safety Assessment Protocols

Development and evaluation of safety protocols for fire prevention, chemical handling, and process safety. We assess compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
