GIE GROUP

Identify active damage mechanisms and avoid future failure

With our procedure, background checks and in-site data gathering are carried out, which are then followed by the fractographic and metallographic characterization of elements in our labs. It also includes the mechanic and chemical characterization of the materials. Finally, a critical analysis of engineering is performed, which includes the modelling of the initial damage formation and final breaking.
GIE GROUP counts with a multidisciplinary group of professionals with great experience in the field that will perform the aforementioned studies.
