Our legacy of leadership in process safety goes back to 1980 when Fauske & Associates, Inc. (FAI) was founded by Dr. Hans Fauske, Dr. Michael Grolmes, and Dr. Robert Henry. In 1986 FAI aka "Fauske" became a wholly owned subsidiary of Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC, and is now a Division of Stone & Webster, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Westinghouse Electric Company LLC.

FAI immediately became an innovative leader in improving process safety. providing expert technical guidance to the AIChE DIERS program for the chemical industry and the IDCOR degraded core program for the nuclear power industry. Our efforts led to innovative methodologies and tools to characterize reactive chemical hazards, design emergency relief systems, and simulate severe accidents in commercial nuclear power plants. FAI is recognized worldwide for phenomenological modeling, testing, and consulting services to prevent or mitigate accidents at chemical and nuclear facilities.

Our goal is to collaborate with our customers to ensure the safety and reliability of their chemical processes, industrial facilities, and power plants while maintaining regulatory compliance, extending plant life and reducing operation and maintenance costs.
