WINDFORCE FORENSICS
Storage Tank Failure & Environmental Releases
Tank failures bring engineering, insurance, and liability together to focus on one critical event. We’ve spent years inspecting, designing, and rehabilitating storage tanks. Our failure analysis comes from hands-on experience with how these structures are built and maintained.
Windforce Forensics
What We Do
We examine the failed tank, the failure pattern, and the maintenance and inspection history, then work back to the cause: corrosion, design, fabrication, overpressure, foundation, or a missed inspection.
From there, we speak to the standard of care: What would a reasonable owner or operator have done? And did the owner or operator in this dispute follow that standard?
Windforce Forensics
The Typical Questions We Answer
- What was the mechanism and root cause of the failure?
- Was the tank designed, built, and maintained to the applicable standards?
- Could a reasonable inspection program have caught this in time?
- What is the responsible party's exposure given the standard of care?
