World class consultants for over 30 years.
There is only one way:
The right way.
Lab
Facilities
The failure analysis and energy laboratory is designed for
inspection, investigation, and research.
The quality of research and testing is reflected in the
laboratory equipment and instrumentation.
To support our clients, we have developed one of the
premier, state-of-the-art, high-energy labs in the region.
We know of no serious competition.
Lightning and grounding research has been a unique niche
since the 1980's. Our laboratory has exceptional high
voltage systems.
Our clients include leading energy and manufacturing
companies.
We have exceptional, experienced researchers and academics
who can help you with your high-energy project.
Isolated
Low noise
Safe Environment
Location, Location
The Lab is strategically isolated to permit a wide variety
of research and tests. Projects include explosives,
controlled burns, high voltage, high temperature, high
pressure, and very low electromagnetic noise.
The structure is a Faraday cage with complete metal
enclosure and metal barrier screens over windows. A very
effective ground and bonding system completes the protective
network. This prevents outside electromagnetic interference
to sensitive tests.
A dedicated power supply line with a large capacity
transformer is provided by the utility. This provides a
facility with very low level electrical noise or
interference.
The structure of the power system and building precludes
interference to off-site buildings. The location is further
removed from any building within 1/4 mile.
The facility is in a safe, gated compound, backing up to a
remote University geologic monitoring station.

Environment
Environmental test mediums have included oils, gas,
saltwater, corrosive, and explosive solutions.
We have conducted tests at extreme environmental
considerations including
+ high-temperature,
+ high-pressure,
+ high-current,
+ high-voltage,
+ low-noise
+ low-energy
A 700 foot test well provides a tremendous environment for
evaluation of oil and gas systems. Deeper wells can be
developed, as required.
Joint Inspections
Large indoor laboratory facilities are available for joint
inspections of wires and pipe to appliances and vehicles.
An appliance bar is configured to allow direct connection
and evaluation for virtually any 120 or 240 volt device.
Artifact Storage
Facilities are structured for artifact and evidence storage.
Indoor and outside locations allow us to store teacups to
vehicles and farm machinery.
The monitored facilities are a cost-effective alternative.
Safety
If a safe combination of media, fixtures, and
instruments can be configured, we will build it. High energy
research is not hazardous, if it is done safely.
Safety is a priority. The engineers and consultants have
performed research for decades, are personally involved in
each project, and well expect to continue for many more
decades. It is personal to us and our families.
Recognition
The principal's high-energy research was recognized by the
IEEE by election to the grade of Life Fellow and by the
IEEE/IAS award of the Kaufmann Medal. more
IEEE
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
is the largest professional, technical society in the world.
The grade of Fellow is reserved for the top 0.1% performers.
The Kaufmann Medal is the highest field award by the IEEE
through the Industry Application Society. The citation
declares "for development of theory and practice in the
application of power systems in hostile environments."
