Delaware Manufacturing Plant

MDC Systems® was retained by a Prime Contractor against General Motors on a $200MM(+) expansion project. MDC Systems® assisted the prime contractor in preparing its statement of claim as well as defending itself against claims brought by their subcontractor. MDC Systems®’s analysis work involved verification of labor and equipment costs and attribution of costs to various conditions including the impact of design changes, local plant requested changes and the unforeseen discovery of hazardous materials and its removal which disrupted the planned work flow.
Indiana Manufacturing Plant Project
Client Name: Sun Oil Company
MDC Systems® was retained to review engineering, procurement and construction issues concerning the development of a coke (coal) manufacturing plant in Indiana. Our client’s damages stemmed from the differential movement of the sub-grade beneath the coke oven battery foundations and the failure of the coke ovens’ exhaust gas system to maintain adequate negative process pressures.
Airbag Manufacturing Facility Project
Client Name: Talley Industries
MDC Systems® was retained by an airbag manufacturing company to consult and provide expert witness services for the evaluation of a $40 million claim against our client for defective design and construction of an airbag manufacturing plant. After the plant was sold to a third party, our client constructed additions and modifications to the plant, increasing production capacity dramatically. Part of the plant in which the explosive pellets are manufactured was involved in a catastrophic failure.
