Peter C. McKeighan
Founder and Principal

I formed the company to provide timely, affordable mechanical engineering consulting. My passion is failure prevention and my focus is assisting customers during both the earliest stages of the design process as well as later in the life cycle in the unfortunate case of failure occuring while the component is in service. Most engineering failures are avoidable with thorough, robust engineering design.
