Structural Forensic Engineering Services

Our structural forensic engineers investigate damage, failures, and collapses of buildings and infrastructure. We utilize advanced technology and techniques to reconstruct failure scenarios and identify root causes including design deficiencies; deterioration and material failures; wind, water, and fire damages; and construction defects. Our experts develop detailed reports and analysis to address insurance claims, disputes, and regulatory inquiries.

Geotechnical Forensic Engineering Consulting

Our forensic geotechnical and geological engineering experts investigate the origin and cause of losses or failures involving earthen materials such as soil and bedrock, surface and groundwater influences. Our experience includes both natural and built environments, involving energy, natural resource, commercial, industrial, and heavy civil and infrastructure establishments.

We deliver comprehensive expertise— from initial investigations and failure evaluations through litigation support in mediation and trials—to ensure our findings are clearly and effectively communicated.

Mechanical and Electrical Engineering & Failure Analysis

Our mechanical and electrical engineering experts conduct forensic investigations to determine the cause of failures in industrial, commercial, and residential systems.

Our engineering experts perform on-site inspections, damage assessments, materials assessments, and lab testing services to identify the root cause of failure, such as design flaws, material defects, or improper installation. Our mechanical engineering and electrical engineering experts advise in insurance claims, product liability investigations, and construction defect disputes.

Building Envelope and Water Intrusion Investigations

Our team investigates building envelope failures and water intrusion across a variety of building materials and systems - roofing, waterproofing, cladding, and façade. Employing advanced diagnostics, including infrared thermography, moisture mapping, and core sampling, we identify defects, breaches, and damage, often collaborating with in-house forensic architecture experts to provide comprehensive building envelope assessments.

Seismic Forensic Engineering Services

Our seismic engineering experts assess seismic risk to advise clients on property vulnerabilities, analyze applicable code and statutory requirements, evaluate structures against mandatory and voluntary performance-based objectives, and provide tailored retrofit solutions to meet unique client needs.

Notre expertise comprend l'analyse des risques sismiques, la planification de la préparation aux catastrophes, la conformité au code du bâtiment et à la réglementation, l'évaluation des structures, les normes sismiques, l'inspection des dommages causés par les tremblements de terre et les conseils en matière de réparation.

Biomechanical Engineering and Injury Causation Expertise

Our biomechanical engineers evaluate injury biomechanics based upon environmental conditions and incident dynamics.

We deliver specialized expertise in injury causation investigations for accidents related to transportation, falls, machinery, heavy equipment, workplace safety, and premises liability claims.

Nous pouvons déterminer les effets de l'impact et du couple sur le corps humain en tirant parti de notre expérience en ingénierie judiciaire et de nos connaissances sur la façon dont les forces impactent les os, les ligaments, les tendons, les organes, les vaisseaux sanguins et les nerfs soumis à diverses charges mécaniques.

Chemistry, Materials Science, and Metallurgical Failure Analysis

Our materials engineers, metallurgists, and chemists conduct root cause failure analyses and materials evaluations to investigate and determine whether an incident was the result of contamination; corrosion; a manufacturing or design defect; or equipment, product, or system failure. 

Leveraging advanced technology and investigative techniques—including microscopy, chemical and materials analysis, fractography, spectroscopy, and metallurgical/materials testing—our experts advise in insurance claims and disputes requiring specialized materials science and metallurgical expertise.
