Pipeline Failure Investigations
Having undertaken various investigations into pipeline failures we normally find that the issue is related to a combination of poor design or installation. Generally we find that there is not an issue with the product.
Richard Swan has undertaken investigation work on behalf of Water Utilities and National Trading Standards.
