CONSULTANCY
Forensic Engineering
We provide forensic engineering services focused on the investigation, analysis, and interpretation of structural failures, material defects, and performance issues in civil and industrial infrastructure. Our work identifies root causes of damage or malfunction and provides clear, evidence-based engineering conclusions to support remediation, dispute resolution, and risk mitigation.
Our approach combines field investigation, material assessment, and engineering analysis to reconstruct failure mechanisms and determine the factors contributing to structural or material distress.

Scope of Services
We undertake detailed forensic investigations across a wide range of structural and infrastructure systems, including steel, concrete, and composite structures. Our services include:
- Investigation of structural failures, collapse incidents, and distress conditions
- Assessment of corrosion, cracking, deformation, and material degradation
- Evaluation of construction defects and workmanship-related issues
- Analysis of design deficiencies and deviation from intended performance
- Identification of environmental and operational factors affecting durability
Investigation Methodology
Our forensic engineering process is structured to ensure accuracy, objectivity, and technical defensibility:
- Site inspection and detailed condition assessment
- Collection of physical evidence and documentation of defects
- Application of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and material evaluation techniques
- Structural analysis and back-calculation of failure mechanisms
- Review of design, construction, and maintenance records
- Development of root cause analysis and engineering conclusions
Reporting & Expert Opinion
We provide clear and technically robust reporting suitable for technical, contractual, and legal purposes. Deliverables include:
- Root cause analysis reports with supporting evidence
- Engineering interpretation of failure mechanisms
- Assessment of contributing design, material, and construction factors
- Recommendations for repair, strengthening, or remediation
- Expert opinion reports for dispute resolution and litigation support
Applications
Our forensic engineering services are commonly used for:
- Structural failure investigations
- Insurance and liability assessments
- Construction defect disputes
- Asset integrity assessments
- Post-event damage evaluation (e.g., corrosion, impact, overload, environmental exposure
