Engineering Lab Space#

Dreiym Engineering is proud to show you our forensic engineering lab space!  We are constantly adding to the equipment we have on-site and are in the process of expanding the lab’s footprint to include additional machining areas and lab storage.  Always a work in progress, we wanted to show what we have accomplished with the lab so far.

The building is video-monitored from all angles with offsite recording, automated alarms, and automated alerts to security.  The lab space is also temperature-controlled and includes video recording and/or photo documentation.

The space is available to anyone for lease and includes all tools and equipment with a trained technician to help you operate any equipment you need on-site.  Education and research use is free for qualified research (Code Creating Bodies such as NFPA or NACE/AMPP or higher education research).

3D View of the Lab#

Here you can walk through the engineering lab, and view the tools, space, and major equipment we have on-site.

The Equipment Necessary for a Thorough Investigation#

 At Dreiym, we are able to support both destructive and non-destructive investigations while providing the technical support that you need to complete any test, including any ongoing multi-day monitoring, and construction of engineering test platforms.

• X-Ray: We have a Nordson Dage Quadra 3 X-Ray in our laboratory, allowing you to access instant images in a non-destructive manner. We can help you keep your investigation moving in an efficient manner.
• Infrared Thermal Imaging: Monitor the heat buildup in a test environment, in real-time. An infrared camera offers a safe method for testing what temperatures are ideal for a fire.
• Microscope: Our lab microscope offers an ideal method for detecting stress in metals and other materials. It has a built-in 18MP camera with additional light, for detailed work.
• 3D Space Capture Imaging: This technology amounts to something close to a street view for indoor spaces. It allows all parties to look at a rendering of an accident scene.
• Motor Drive Analyzer: Dreiym has the ability to test motor drives, adjustable speed drives, and variable frequency drives for failure in the lab or in the field.
• Power Quality Analyzer: The power quality analyzer allows us to analyze and understand incoming utility power.
• Pipeline Current Mapper: Our pipeline current mapper helps locate currents for pipeline field surveys.
• Ground / Earth Tester: This technology provides the capability to measure AC resistance with a high level of accuracy.
• 18,000 Lb. Vehicle Lift: Used primarily for vehicle fire investigations, our lab is equipped with a high-capacity lift.
• Video Camera Equipment: All tests can be video recorded for additional documentation.
• Evidence Storage: We have a secure, video-monitored evidence storage facility with offsite recording.
• Data Capture: We can tie data capture into Labview or Matlab programs.
• Backup Power: Our laboratory is backed up by battery power for uninterrupted testing and examination.
• Much more, including calibrated meters, o-scopes, and signal generators.

Plans for the Future#

We are actively expanding our evidence storage area to better serve the needs of forensic engineering.  The evidence storage area is completely isolated, with offsite video recording and badge-in/badge-out access.

• Soil Analysis: We are looking at the technology required to perform soil analysis in-house.
• Meeting Room: Our meeting room will be complete with a commercial kitchen and teleconference system, able to seat 8 people at once.
• Machining Area: Once the increased footprint is in place, we intend to increase machining and prototyping capabilities on-site.
