Uncovering complex scenarios. Delivering clear solutions.
Gexcon possesses in-depth knowledge of chemical interactions, material properties, and the underlying physics and chemistry that drive chemical release incidents.
Our team employs advanced techniques to collect, analyse, and interpret evidence, ensuring a thorough understanding of the root causes and presenting them in a clear and transparent manner.
Chemical release and exposure experts at your disposal
Gexcon has extensive experience in investigating chemical releases and conducting in-depth assessments of the associated exposure for both indoor and outdoor applications.
For outdoor scenarios, our investigations have covered chemical releases originating from a wide spectrum of sources, including industrial operations, fires, explosions, spills, or tank failures. Additionally, we have dealt with indoor releases resulting from factors such as material off-gassing, chemical interactions, or the overheating of consumer products.
Furthermore, Gexcon's experts are highly adept at addressing the complex issue of carbon monoxide emissions migrating within structures, often due to malfunctioning or misused combustion appliances.
Our proficiency extends to the comprehensive characterisation and analysis of various chemical emissions, making us a trusted partner for a broad range of chemical release and exposure investigations.
We utilise FLACS CFD consequence modelling tool to accurately simulate chemical releases
