Failure analysis for all types of equipment and vehicles

The failure or premature deterioration of a vehicle or piece of equipment can cause significant financial loss, property damage and, in some cases, serious injury.

Origin’s experts carry out technical analyses to determine the cause of failure in various types of equipment, whether vehicles, motorized equipment, industrial machinery or components of everyday systems. Examining the equipment, its components and the circumstances surrounding the event makes it possible to identify the factors behind the failure, whether related to design, manufacturing, installation, maintenance or use.

Our work covers recreational and passenger vehicles, industrial, forestry and agricultural equipment, production lines, and everyday systems such as piping, toilets and sprinkler systems.

Origin also offers secure vehicle storage for a three-month period at its Montréal office, including snowmobiles, trucks, passenger vehicles, recreational vehicles and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs).

The mechanical engineering team has solid expertise in analyzing failures, fires and other events involving mechanical equipment. Our experts examine defective products, run tests and, where needed, reproduce the conditions that led to the failure in order to determine its cause.

Drawing on their industrial experience, they conduct investigations rigorously and efficiently, working through every hypothesis to deliver clear, well-founded conclusions.
