Kiefner and Associates has moved to a new location in Columbus, Ohio in order to better serve both the industry and its clients.

The new facility, offers 40,000 square feet of purpose built office, laboratory and training space and is the first time the company has had all three within one building.

Complete with a new laboratory, the testing facility spans over 20,000 square feet to accommodate an increased demand for material testing and failure analyses.

The lab is fully equipped to carry out pipeline failure investigations, instrumented burst tests, corrosion tests and standard mechanical properties tests.
