Forensic Engineering

When something has cracked, settled, leaked or failed, the useful questions are why it happened, how far it goes, whether it is still moving and what it takes to fix. Forensic work answers those in a form that holds up to scrutiny.

Scope

• Settlement and foundation distress analysis
