Stelliant Expertise

A tailored response for high-stakes expertise

In industrial litigation cases where time is of the essence and the stakes are high, Stelliant relies on Cetim to strengthen the robustness of its expertise through rigorous, fast and multidisciplinary analysis.

Customer requirement

- Quickly determine the feasibility of the study, its cost and the time required to complete it so that the assessment can begin.

- Rely on experts from different and complementary fields who are able to work together on a case if necessary.

- Obtain clear, directly usable reports that reinforce the credibility of insurance assessments in the event of litiges.

The case

Leaks in stainless steel pipes at a cogeneration plant, cracks in an engine block at a methanisation unit, explosion of steam pipes at an industrial site: these incidents cause operational downtime and require an immediate response. Direct damage and operating losses can amount to several million euros.
In these contexts, where economic, technical and legal issues are at stake, insurance experts must react quickly and mobilise reliable skills to ensure their analysis is reliable. Patrick Lubszynski, Structure Expert and Head of Renewable Energy at Stelliant Expertise, chose Cetim. "The first requirement is responsiveness. Cetim can very quickly determine whether a study is possible, at what cost and within what timeframe." This ability to position itself quickly, even on unclear grounds, is a strategic asset for launching a contradictory expert assessment without delay. The first usable results, often available before the end of the full analysis, already provide guidance for the case.

Cross-functional skills for enhanced expertise
For Stelliant, Cetim's value also lies in its combination of solid technical expertise and a capacity to deliver results tailored to the insurance context. “The experts know how to avoid technical jargon and deliver conclusions that are understandable and usable,” emphasises Patrick Lubszynski, who also appreciates their ability to adjust the level of analysis to suit the needs of each case, from simple testing to advanced digital modelling. All this is combined with a multidisciplinary approach that is invaluable in complex cases: Cetim has a dedicated team bringing together the necessary skills – materials, heat treatment, mechanics, etc. – under the coordination of a lead expert. If necessary, engineers can visit the site to gain an overall picture and evaluate the situation directly. “More than just a supplier, Cetim is a partner,” concludes Patrick Lubszynski. A partner with whom to develop more solid and less contestable expertise when dealing with opposing parties.
