circumstances of hull damage, a physical inspection by an experienced investigator on site is critical, and it must be done as soon as possible after the damage is reported, to preserve the evidence and ensure that no damage-features are compromised. At Hawkins we have failure analysts who can investigate the cause of such damage through visual examination on site and, if permissible and feasible, laboratory inspections of material samples. Once the material damage is assessed and the failure mode apparent, our investigators can piece together the sequence of events leading up to the incident.<\/p><p>Our experts are qualified engineers and scientists, familiar with investigating engineering failures across all sectors. We have detailed knowledge of mechanical and electrical hardware, materials, processes, transport, construction and
