Plumbing & Electrical Incidents

Arc's investigation into plumbing failures typically begins with a metallurgical interpretation of the failed part. Our analysis into these types of incidents often includes a wide range of technical skills. For instance, mechanical engineering expertise is required in some instances. Practical insight from journeymen plumbers and electricians has also proved valuable to Arc's plumbing and electrical investigations. Additionally, in complex industrial processes, control systems expertise may be essential. The products and associated materials handled in Arc's plumbing and electrical investigations are widespread and include the following:

  • brass
  • stainless steel
  • rubber
  • plastic
  • ceramics

Arc's input into electrical incidents typically is in conjunction with fire cause and origin investigators or with electrical engineers specializing in these types of investigations. On-site investigations and extensive laboratory analysis of materials is provided for complete conclusive determinations.
