In 1977, Radian Corporation (Radian) hired a group of engineers and established a Failure Analysis laboratory in Austin, Texas at the behest of their parent organization, Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company (HSB). The technical staff and laboratory, known as Mechanical & Materials Engineering, would meet the felt need of HSB to provide engineering support and assistance in claims investigations and loss prevention activities.
M&M Engineering Associates provides many services including root cause failure analysis, accident investigations, materials consulting, corrosion prevention, and water chemistry/treatment consulting.
Our combined experience in performing failure analysis and the understanding of failure mechanisms have enabled us to develop a number of related offerings, such as inspection and condition assessment, development of integrity management programs, shutdown planning and risk-based analysis.

The handbook presents examples of common failure mechanisms in a variety of boilers including power boilers, recovery boilers, and Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs). Visual examination may help the equipment operator decide whether further metallurgical examination and root cause analysis is warranted.
The chemical industry encompasses a wide array of products and applications including specialty chemicals and petro-chemicals. M&M Engineering Associates, Inc has decades of experience with the broad spectrum of systems and equipment that are involved in these processes, including the tanks, heat exchangers, and vessels which hold products; the rotating equipment that keeps it moving; and the piping and fittings that connect it all together.
M&M Engineering Associates understands that since each investigation is unique, we consider your schedule, goals, and purposes when formulating an approach to the investigation so that it best suits your needs.
Because claims investigations generally result from an accident or an unplanned incident, M&M Engineering Associates can arrive on site within 24 hours to help with the initial investigation-including assessing the extent of damage, finding the root cause of the failure, and determining suitability for continued service.
