Mr. Read has investigated hundreds of energy-consuming equipment and product failures deployed in many industries, including commercial, utility, residential, industrial and military systems. Mr. Read also specializes in investigating vehicle fires, including heavy commercial, off-highway, farm equipment, and light-duty cars and trucks. He has also been involved as an investigator in multiple large-loss fires and flood claims in Alberta. Ian’s areas of practice have covered most of Canada.
Mr. Read has past engineering experience in systems reliability, maintainability, availability and testability, wherein he completes detailed reliability analyses to predict system performance factors such as failure probability (reliability), mean time between failures, availability/uptime (or unavailability/downtime), warranty costs, testability, maintenance and supportability calculations.
