AS SMOOTHLY AND QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE

In a field as complex as energy production and the processing of raw materials, the key issue is not if, but when a breakdown will occur. Despite these inevitable events, the performance and reliability of producers is under intense scrutiny.

Our experts know how urgent the situation is. They ensure that they provide you with all the information you need to understand the problem and allow for rapid business recovery. Whether the failure affects manufacturing, distribution or energy supply, we determine the source of the problem as soon as possible.

TRUST CEP TO CLARIFY THE SITUATION

Our multidisciplinary approach and rigorous methodology make CEP the ideal partner for a variety of projects. Whether it is the oil, hydroelectric, mining, iron and steel, wind, aluminum or glass processing industry, our experts put their knowledge at your service.

In addition to discovering the source of the failure, our investigations assess equipment compliance, facility safety and the environmental impact of operations. If necessary, several teams, such as structural, failure analysis, civil engineering or materials, can be called upon. We are there for you, no matter how complex the situation. We can also support you if you are in the middle of a dispute.
