What Sets Us Apart?
Complete Evaluation
Our analysis and design expertise allows us to evaluate your product or system application before and after each test; this ability to provide guidance throughout all phases of your test programs sets us apart from test facilities that only offer commodity testing services.
Fully Integrated
Our testing is fully integrated into our Blast Effects, Protective Structures, Process Safety, Incident Investigation and Materials teams. All of our test programs are managed by the same professionals who design, analyze, assess, and investigate real-world catastrophic events. Because our testing teams include engineers who have both testing and design experience, we have the unique ability to consult with you on the real world application of your product and systems.
Uniquely Qualified
We are uniquely qualified to handle research focusing on product development, product proof tests, forensic support, or high hazard testing that cannot be accomplished at other test facilities.
