Our analysis reports are structured per VDI 3822 and documented with full traceability of all investigation steps. They are designed for use in civil proceedings, arbitration proceedings, administrative proceedings and insurance settlements. On request, our experts can also appear as court-appointed experts.\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Can you also technically review the opposing party&#8217;s expert reports?<\/h3>\n<div>Yes. The technical review and critique of existing expert reports is an integral part of our services. We examine methodology, cause attribution and conclusions for plausibility and standards compliance &#8211; and deliver a well-founded counter-report if the assessment does not hold up.\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Which industries and damage areas do you cover?<\/h3>\n<div>We cover all materials-intensive industrial sectors: energy and petrochemicals, mechanical and plant engineering, vehicle construction and rail transport, steel and structural construction, medical technology as well as pressure equipment and vessel technology. Damage mechanisms such as fatigue, corrosion, overload, material mix-ups and manufacturing defects are our daily field of work.\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>How quickly can you deliver an expert report?<\/h3>\n<div>The delivery time depends on the scope of the assignment and the complexity of the investigations. For simple failure analyses, reports are possible within 2-3 weeks. Extensive technical due diligence reviews usually require 4-8 weeks. For ongoing proceedings with deadlines, please contact us directly &#8211; we will assess what delivery time is realistic.\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>How does Technical Due Diligence differ from a failure analysis?<\/h3>\n<div>A failure analysis clarifies the cause of a damage event that has already occurred &#8211; reactive and related to a specific component or system. A technical due diligence is precautionary and comprehensive: it assesses the overall condition of a plant, identifies latent risks and quantifies future costs &#8211; as a basis for investment or insurance decisions.\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<!-- {\"type\":\"layout\",\"children\":[{\"type\":\"section\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"padding_bottom\":\"xsmall\",\"padding_top\":\"small\",\"style\":\"default\",\"title_breakpoint\":\"xl\",\"title_position\":\"top-left\",\"title_rotation\":\"left\",\"vertical_align\":\"middle\",\"width\":\"default\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"row\",\"children\":[{\"type\":\"column\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"position_sticky_breakpoint\":\"m\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"breadcrumbs\",\"props\":{\"blend\":false,\"show_current\":true,\"show_home\":true}}]}]}],\"name\":\"1_Breadcrump\"},{\"type\":\"section\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"overlap\":false,\"padding_bottom\":\"none\",\"padding_top\":\"none\",\"preserve_color\":false,\"style\":\"secondary\",\"title_breakpoint\":\"xl\",\"title_position\":\"top-left\",\"title_rotation\":\"left\",\"vertical_align\":\"middle\",\"width\":\"default\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"row\",\"children\":[{\"type\":\"column\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"position_sticky_breakpoint\":\"m\"},\"children\":[{\"name\":\"Panel Image Right\",\"type\":\"panel\",\"props\":{\"block_align\":\"center\",\"content\":\"\n\n<p>Forensic failure analyses and technical due diligence for insurance companies, expert witnesses and lawyers -
