When conditions dictate third-party Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) facilitation, McDowell Owens Engineering provides premier services.
Objective Engineering Analysis
The engineers at McDowell Owens have extensive experience facilitating RCFAs in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, pipeline, chemical, and power industries. Many times RCFAs stop short of drilling down to the true root cause of an incident because of pre-conceived ideas. McDowell Owens Engineering can provide an unbiased methodology that will drive the RCFA process to the detail required to prevent failure recurrences.
