STRUCTURAL FORENSICS

With rapid economic development, accelerated project delivery, sub-par maintenance practices, and renovations of older structures, there are multiple facets that must be considered when assessing the cause of structural failure or damage. Forensic structural engineering involves the careful assessment of buildings and or structures that have failed (or failed to function as designed) and resulted in property damage and/or personal injury in order to determine the primary and any contributory causes. Common forensic structural issues we can investigate and remediate are: building code violations, foundation and framing issues, water damage, wind damage, soil/earth/geotechnical issues, design flaws, and losses from construction accidents.
