Description

We provide accurate predictions of the performance and lifetime of HVAC and piping systems and plumbing fixtures with knowledge of a combination of material test results and understanding of the service conditions and loading. These predictions are invaluable in answering the question, “Why didn’t this product last as long as it was supposed to?” Understanding of the external loads often comes from our experience in the field. We have examined hundreds of failed systems including those where the loads came from ground movement.

Principia’s staff has provided these services for a wide variety of vehicle accidents. This experience allows us to provide the highest quality service for all types of accidents.

Principia’s engineers have experience in the investigation of failures of large-scale municipal piping systems including pumping and power generation stations. These range from penstocks for the delivery of water to hydroelectric power generation facilities to sewage pumping stations. All systems have in common the fundamentals of liquid transport; however, each type of system has its own unique characteristics.

Principia was founded in 2005 by engineers from Exponent, Inc. Our venture is driven by the desire to focus on the fundamental practice of failure analysis and accident reconstruction. We offer the highest level of technical consulting services specializing in failure analysis, the analysis of root causes of accidents and product failures.
