Mechanical Engineering

What can we do for you? Haag helps clients understand why mechanical failures occur, assess the extent of damage, and make informed decisions regarding repair, replacement, litigation, insurance claims, and risk mitigation.

Haag’s mechanical engineers and consultants investigate the causes of failures and damage involving a wide range of mechanical systems and equipment, including industrial machinery, steam and gas turbines, boilers, HVAC systems, cranes and lifting devices, earthmoving and mining equipment, conveyors, manufacturing equipment, pumps, compressors, piping systems, motor vehicles, and household appliances. Our experts identify failure mechanisms, evaluate system performance, and perform forensic analyses to determine the origin and cause of damage.

When specialized testing is required, Haag engineers develop and oversee customized testing programs and equipment designed to support a thorough and defensible investigation. Our team combines technical expertise with practical field experience to deliver clear, evidence-based conclusions.

Haag’s vehicle accident investigators examine accident scenes and involved vehicles to determine the sequence of events leading up to, during, and following a collision. When necessary, our engineers reconstruct vehicle movements and assess whether mechanical failures contributed to or caused the accident.

In addition to failure investigations, our mechanical engineers evaluate the design, installation, condition, and performance of mechanical systems and equipment. We also assess damaged equipment to determine whether repair is practical and cost-effective or if replacement is the more appropriate solution.

Our mechanical engineering services include:

  • Failure analysis of industrial machinery, boilers, steam and gas turbines, HVAC equipment and systems, transportation vehicles, heavy equipment, household appliances, and other mechanical systems
  • Vehicle accident investigation and reconstruction
  • Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling analysis
  • Repairability assessments and replacement recommendations
  • Evaluation of material properties and structural integrity
  • Design and oversight of specialized testing programs
  • Mechanical system performance, design, and installation evaluations

In addition to our forensic engineering services, we offer full-service mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection (MEP/FP) design through our parent company, Salas O’Brien, delivering customized solutions for buildings and facilities of all types and sizes.
