Failure & Damage Investigations

On-site inspections and engineering analysis of structural distress, impacts, and collapse risk.

Roofing & Envelope Assessments

Hail, wind, and construction defect evaluations with repair scope guidance for insurers and counsel.

Foundation & Settlement Analysis

Assessments of soil movement, moisture intrusion, and differential settlement affecting structural performance.

Retaining Wall Review

Stability, drainage, and design compliance evaluations for retaining walls and earth-supported systems.

Infrastructure & Municipal Facilities

Design review and damage evaluation for pump stations, water towers, and pipeline-related structures.

Repair Recommendations

Defensible repair plans, sequencing, and scope documentation aligned with engineering standards.

Forensic Engineering Methodology

A disciplined approach from records review to testimony-ready conclusions

1

Scope & Record Review

Collect plans, maintenance history, weather data, and incident records to define the technical baseline.

2

Site Inspection

Document structural conditions with measurements, photographs, and targeted testing as needed.

3

Engineering Analysis

Apply calculations and code standards to evaluate causation, extent of damage, and stability.

4

Reporting & Testimony

Deliver clear reports, repair recommendations, and litigation support for deposition or trial.

Representative Case Types

  • Structural impacts from vehicles, trees, or equipment
  • Roofing and envelope damage from wind, hail, or construction defects
  • Foundation and slab movement from moisture, soil settlement, or blasting
  • Water intrusion, mold, and snow-load related failures
  • Retaining wall and slope stability failures
  • Flood and fire damage causation for walls, floors, and roofs
