Forensics

Forensic engineering involves a detailed objective examination and analysis of failures

Whether relating to geotechnical, civil,l or water resource issues, forensic engineering involves a detailed objective examination and analysis of failures.  The investigation process ranges from a basic walkover appraisal to report preparation and the presentation of evidence for court hearings.

We have a number of senior engineers with many years experience and a particular interest in forensic engineering. 

Examples of forensic issues investigated include:

• Slope and retaining wall failures
• Tunnel collapses
• Dam and canal failures
• Flooding and drainage issues
• River and coastal erosion
• Subsidence and foundation failures
• Reclamation failures
• Losses during construction
• Marina construction

Our clients include insurance companies, loss adjusters, and lawyers,  as well as private individuals, who commission us to undertaken engineering investigation and reporting.
