Metsol Materials Solutions Ltd is an independent materials consultancy based in Glasgow, providing expert witness, failure analysis and materials testing services to legal practices, loss adjusters, insurance companies and the engineering sector across the United Kingdom.
We apply the same rigorous analytical methods across every instruction, then tailor the output - from detailed failure reports for the courts to claim validation for insurers.
Our expert witness services are founded on forensic failure analysis of materials or components that have failed in service. Each instruction draws on a structured range of analytical methods - visual inspection, mechanical testing, material identification and microscopy (optical and scanning electron microscope) - and concludes with a detailed failure report.
We undertake forensic root cause failure analysis for claims where the cause of failure is uncertain. Studies establish whether a material or component failure occurred, how it occurred and whether that failure resulted in loss to the insured person or company - giving adjusters and insurers defensible, evidence-based answers.
