Mr. Read has investigated hundreds of equipment and product failures across commercial, utility, residential, industrial, and military industries. He is also experienced in vehicle fire investigations, covering heavy commercial, off-highway, mining, farm equipment, and light-duty vehicles. He has been involved in multiple large loss fire and flood claims across Canada for both plaintiff and defence. His practice primarily serves Western Canada.
Mr. Read’s background includes engineering work focused on reliability, maintainability, availability, and testability, with detailed analyses predicting system performance, reliability, mean time between failures, availability, warranty costs, testability, and supportability. He was court-qualified as an expert in 2021 for Alberta’s King’s Bench.
Mr. Read is provincially registered as a Professional Engineer with APEGA (Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta), EGBC (Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia), and EngGeoMB (Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba).
