Forensic Projects
Forensic engineering is the investigation of existing structures to assess their condition for their current or a planned change in use. A major factor in the assessment is the structural condition of the building’s concrete, masonry, steel, and wood members. In addition, a forensic investigation can be initiated to uncover the cause of a structural failure.
