FORENSIC ENGINEERING
DAC’s experts are assigned as independent technical experts and forensic engineers for insurers, loss adjusters, brokers, and lawyers, and Corporations when it comes to equipment failure, fires, contamination, and other perils. We assess the root cause of major and complex equipment failures, as well as the extent of damage, reinstatement options and timeline review for plants such as: refineries, power plants, offshore platforms, manufacturing plants, construction projects; and equipment such as: turbines, compressors, pumps, piping/pipelines, heat exchangers, vessels, tanks, generators, and many others.
We also provide scheduling expertise in order to support Insurers in accelerating repairs in order to mitigate Business Interruption (BI), ascertain the activities in the critical path of all reinstatement plans, and to help all stakeholders in understanding the Project status and perform a detailed delay analysis on relevant DSU claims in construction policies. This we call Forensic Scheduling.
