Materials engineering services for Irish industry
I provide materials engineering consultancy and technical support to industrial companies across Ireland. I help teams resolve material and process problems with a practical, evidence-based approach, from rapid troubleshooting to structured root-cause investigations.
Get in touch
One email is enough to start
Send a short description of the problem and whatever you already have: photographs, drawings, specifications. I will come back with a proposed approach and the next steps.

What I take on
Where I am useful
The four areas most problems fall into, whatever they are called when they arrive.
Materials selection & replacement
Alloys, polymers, composites, coatings: fit-for-purpose decisions and alternatives.
Corrosion & surface engineering
Corrosion mechanisms, adhesion issues, coatings, surface treatments and mitigation.
Manufacturing process support
Machining, heat treatment, vacuum processing, additive manufacturing, troubleshooting.
