Consulting Expert Projects
As a consulting expert, Tym’s has a history of providing insight that garners results.
Accident Investigation Customer
Tym’s was called to evaluate aircraft accident wreckage and the associated NTSB report. We were able to confirm that an important claim in the report was false, in part, by developing and implementing a test of incident-related equipment versus an exemplar. We found improper maintenance activity in aircraft records wherein an incorrect part was installed. These facts resulted in settling the case without litigation, in the favor of our client.
Forensic Investigation Customer
Tym’s was retained by plaintiff to assist forensic experts with identification of the source of an oxygen fire. When a creditable source was found by the forensic laboratory, Tym’s sourced exemplar materials, created a testing protocol, and performed additional analysis in-house to re-create the failure mode successfully.
