Forensic

When something fails to perform as it was designed, our team of experts evaluates and determines what applications of the principles and practices used during the project resulted in the necessity for forensic engineering.  Our team of forensic engineers possesses superior knowledge and first-hand experience in delivering forensics solutions customized for the unique needs and challenges of each project, as well as logical, economical and timely recommendations or solutions to the cause and effect of the occurrence.  We will evaluate the cause of the failure and recommend a plan or course of action which identifies where and why the failure occurred to provide a knowledgeable, expert opinion.  This plan or course of action is obtained through years of experience and education.

In the event that legal recourse is required, we understand that proven experience, in the field and in the courtroom, is crucial to a successful resolution.  Our ability to communicate the issues in not only a technical approach but in a clear and easy to understand presentation, allow us to clearly communicate a complex situation that is easily understood.
