The application of engineering principles and science used in the investigation of failure...
To provide objective and expert analysis of accidents, failures, and incidents by applying scientific engineering principles to determine the root cause, contributing factors, and potential liabilities, ultimately serving the legal system and public by providing accurate and reliable information to support informed decision-making; this often includes investigating product defects, structural failures, accidents, and environmental contamination to identify the cause and prevent future occurrences.
We specialize in failure cause investigation & analysis of materials, structures, and/or components, ranging from daily to catastrophic claims.
Our forensic engineers will meticulously study materials, devices, and structures to determine the root cause of failures and to prevent future catastrophes. We will provide expert testimony on fixing an existing structural problem.
