Our laboratories in Bergen have a long history of failure investigations providing a valuable basis for internal and external learning. Many of the investigations benefit from our expert system knowledge of ship machinery, subsea, pipelines, mooring systems and structures. 

We have an advanced metallographic facility with cutting, mounting, grinding, and polishing equipment, and carry out full-scale materials analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and physical testing (hardness, grain size, optical photography).
