The gas industry supplies approximately twenty trillion cubic feet of gas to commercial, industrial and residential customers in the United States each year. Because of the widespread use of fuel gases (hydrocarbon based) and the fact that they possess unique physical properties, we have specially trained professionals evaluating cases in which gas is suspected of being an issue.

Our professionals are trained to evaluate explosions and fires related to suspected failures or accidents involving the design, installation and service of fuel gas equipment and systems. A complete precise report providing the scientific facts of the case is given to the client. Potential responsible parties are identified and their limits of liability are documented.

Carbon monoxide poisoning is becoming an increasing problem throughout the United States. Investigation of these incidents requires specialized equipment and specially trained individuals. During an evaluation the suspect appliance is operated while carefully placed instruments record the amount of carbon monoxide in the area. Those readings, along with the times they are taken, are charted. Based on the information obtained a concise report is prepared for the client.

Industrial fires and explosions, because they are typically large-scale, require more manpower and a variety of expertise for the investigation to be comprehensive. UIS offers the industry specially trained engineers and investigators that are capable of conducting these large but detailed investigations.
