Obtain clarity in addressing complex scenarios.
Applying scientific and engineering principles, Gexcon offers a diverse range of services for the investigation and analysis of fires, encompassing site inspections, cause and origin determination, testing, as well as analysis and reconstruction of incidents using advanced methods and tools.
Fire cause and origin experts at your service
Gexcon's team, consisting of licensed Certified Fire and Explosions Investigators (CFEI) and Professional Engineers (PE), has conducted extensive fire origin and cause investigations. Our experience ranges from analysing vehicle and residential fires to investigating large-scale fires and explosions at industrial facilities, including chemical processing and petrochemical plants.
Our experts adeptly apply fundamental scientific principles to fire origin and cause investigations, aligning with the guidelines established in NFPA 921 (Guide for Fire and Explosion Investigations).
Furthermore, our team employs advanced techniques and tools to create an accurate and comprehensive reconstruction of incidents. Our engineers have expertise in conducting unique experiments designed to test hypotheses related to fire origin and cause.
We also utilise advanced CFD modelling tools, such as FLACS, to produce a clear representation of incident sequences, which can be easily understood by both technical and non-technical professionals.
