Mark J. Suryan, P.E.
President
Mr.
Suryan is a mechanical engineer with expertise in machinery.
He makes use of his graduate level training with a broad
industrial background in order to apply analytical techniques
to problem solving. He concentrates on design issues as
they are linked with process control, material performance,
and end item use. His lifelong interest in internal combustion
engines has been a catalyst for becoming familiar with all
sorts of heavy machinery. Mr. Suryan routinely handles machine
problems such as vibration, impact, stress & strain,
fatigue, and material selection. He has direct experience
with virtually all types of materials including metal alloys,
elastomers, glass, wood, concrete, and engineering plastics.
Mr. Suryan has provided live expert witness testimony as
a registered Professional Engineer on numerous occasions.
He has participated in depositions, arbitrations, and full
jury trials. He has served as an expert for both users of
products and manufacturers of products. Mr. Suryan's experience
as both a manager and a university instructor allows him
to clearly communicate technical concepts to non-technical
individuals. His experience as a corporate president is
valuable in understanding the business aspects of important
engineering decisions.
