Root Cause Analysis

At Dynaflow Research Group, we specialize in root-cause failure analysis for fiberglass systems in industrial settings. Despite best engineering practices, failures in fiberglass systems can occur, leading to vibrations, leakage, or complete system breakdown. Our expert team employs advanced techniques and tools to determine the root cause of these failures, provide effective solutions, and implement preventive measures for future incidents.

With our global presence in Europe (NL), the Middle East (UAE), and North America, we offer rapid response times for on-site inspections and in-depth analyses. Our comprehensive approach combines field expertise, laboratory testing, and design reviews to ensure the reliability and longevity of your fiberglass systems.

FRP Applications

Fiberglass Systems We Perform Root Cause Analysis For

Fiberglass Piping Systems

We analyze failures in fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) piping systems used for various industrial applications. Our team addresses issues such as pipe ruptures due to excessive water hammer pressure, leaks from poor joint quality, and vibrations caused by machine operations or flow-induced phenomena.

Firewater Lines and Sprinkler Systems

Dynaflow investigates failures in firewater lines, sprinklers, and deluge systems. We focus on issues like internal corrosion, blockages, and joint failures that can compromise system safety. Our analysis ensures the reliable operation of these critical safety systems.

Buried Fiberglass Pipe Systems

Our experts examine failures in buried fiberglass pipes, addressing problems related to backfill conditions, settlement, and lamination defects. We provide comprehensive analysis and recommendations to maintain the integrity of these underground systems.

Fiberglass Storage Tanks and Vessels

DRG conducts failure analysis on fiberglass tanks and vessels used for chemical storage and processing. We address issues related to structural integrity, chemical compatibility, and pressure resistance, ensuring safe and reliable containment solutions for various industries.

Fiberglass Structural Components

We investigate failures in fiberglass structural elements used in corrosive environments. Our team assesses load-bearing capacities, chemical resistance, and installation practices to prevent accidents and maintain safe working conditions in industrial facilities.
