Root Cause Failure Analysis
Supporting Smarter, Safer Decisions and Enduring Outcomes
Deeper understanding that improves performance
Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) helps find the real reason behind unexpected failures.
The proven structured investigative process includes collecting data either physically or remotely, interviewing involved people, detailed analysis, comparing findings with engineering standards and providing a clear, actionable report
RCFA is an essential tool in high-risk environments to improve safety and prevent future failures.
We have extensive experience in leading and supporting investigations in the energy sector, helping organisations protect their assets and operations
Critical RCFA support when needed
Main equipment failure can have a significant impact on facility safety, reliability and operability, bringing additional external scrutiny on operations and ultimately impacting the bottom line of revenue.
Failure investigation can be an additional drain on resources and disruptive to ongoing operations, but is important in understanding the underlying issues, mitigating residual risk and codifying learning in the organisation.
We bring an in-depth independent expertise on investigations providing clear recommendations to deliver enduring outcomes.
RCFA in Action
Our approach combines technical investigation with independent, expert insight to deliver in-depth and lasting outcomes.
Technical issues, environment as well as human factors, can be significant contributors to the loss event. Awareness and understanding of design requirements, technology readiness, installation aspects and operational needs are also key to ultimately identify the underlying cause.
Having the right experience and breadth of knowledge, and the ability to draw analogies to previous similar events to hand at an early stage of an investigation is key to resolving often complex issues in a timely manner.
Trydanol has both led and supported many incident investigations covering both electrical discipline-specific problems to more complex and multi-faceted issues involving both internal and external parties.
Our Experience of RCFA Execution:
RCFA’s performed for events resulting from failures in control systems, switchgear, protection, transformers, cables, subsea controls, emergency and vital power system and power electronics failure.
