Failure assessment is an analysis of a structure that has been failed in service. Failure assessment is done

	to find and understand failure mechanisms
	to correct failures and enhance the structure bahaviour
	to obtain remaining service life after corrective actions

FE analysis is often used as a preprocessing phase in assessment. Fracture mechanics approach is required in many failure analysis cases.

In addition to assessment we do failure inspections on site and suggest corrective actions and can also inspect the repair to prevent further problems.
