Our aquatic experts specialize in equipment failures caused by chemical degradation, incompatible materials, improper equipment selection and installation, and defectively designed equipment. Robson Forensic experts can examine all aspects of facility equipment to determine the cause of a defect or malfunction.
When equipment malfunctions or improper equipment is installed in an aquatics facility, it can lead to serious injury or death. Incompatible materials can cause simple, yet expensive surface staining in minor cases, and toxic gas release in major situations. Properly designed equipment can become hazardous when improperly maintained or stored during seasonal shutdown periods.
