		<description><![CDATA[With Africa&#8217;s industrial sector facing unprecedented challenges from ageing infrastructure and growing demand, the inaugural One Eighty Root Cause Analysis Africa Conference arrives at a critical moment. Set to take place from 11 to 14 March at The Vineyard Hotel in Cape Town, this landmark event brings together leading experts to address the significant economic impact of preventable engineering failures across the continent. Recent high-profile engineering failures highlight the urgent need for advanced forensic engineering capabilities within Africa – capabilities that this conference aims to develop through knowledge sharing and collaboration, focusing on root cause failure analysis (RCFA). This encompasses sophisticated investigative techniques that prevent catastrophic failures in critical infrastructure and industrial facilities while supporting economic growth across Africa, addressing African engineering challenges with contextually relevant solutions. Founder and MD of One Eighty Degrees, Dr Janet Cotton The timing is crucial as African nations expand their manufacturing capabilities while simultaneously managing existing infrastructure. Diverse professionals from the engineering, legal, insurance and asset-management sectors will come together to discuss and share integrated approaches to material failures that cost African economies millions annually. For the first time, African engineers, legal professionals and insurance specialists will have access to cutting-edge methodologies that have [...]]]></description>
