Expert Forensic Damage Assessment
Forensic engineers are those who are able to expertly analyze performance problems through using the principles and concepts of engineering. A forensic engineering definition centers around the application of the scientific methodology to investigate the failures of materials, components, products and structures. A forensic engineer job description usually includes studying materials, devices, and structures in order to investigate why these fail when they do. In order to improve the longevity or performance of the product or to improve its safety profile, a forensic engineer is often called upon to isolate the specific reason or reasons a product did not perform as intended. A forensics engineer is often a key figure in product liability cases, a type of civil court case, and can even play a role in criminal cases, to investigate and testify about the source of a product's design or an object's failure.
We perform structural surveys, ASCE 7-05 stress tests, wind modeling, and in-field ASTM testing. Our team undergoes regular training on equipment and reproducible best in class investigative techniques. We pair this knowledge with our deep understanding of construction methods, building codes and experience with multiple building technologies to provide a comprehensive solution to moisture issues or structural issues.
We regularly employ Flir Thermal Imaging Cameras, GE Protimeters and Tramex wall and roof scanning equipment to get to the heart of the problem. By utilizing these advanced technologies to scan entire roofs and even whole buildings, we often can reveal the scope and extent of a problem before it leads to additional losses. By using non-destructive scanning and imaging techniques, we can identify where moisture entered the envelope, how far it has spread, and where it has not.
Know that when you call General Forensic Engineers to assess the problem, we will do a thorough job and leave no stone unturned. We stand behind our people, our knowledge of modern equipment and our commitment to do the job the right way, every time. We stay up to date with continual training and have a deep understanding of why buildings fail both from our own experience, peer-reviewed science and proven methodologies.
Residential and Commercial Property Inspection
These include the general tightening of buildings through the use of weather-resistant barriers and insulation with the hope of better energy efficiency. Our team of expert engineers, licensed general contractors, plans examiners and thermographers have the experience to understand what went wrong in the design or installation of the property delineated by trade, contract, and code what the resulting damages are, and what is the appropriate repair.
On some occasions, this tightening of the building has unintended consequences, including trapping moisture-rich air inside of the building envelope. Water, as a vapor, will then condense, and due to different building pressurization, will collect and damage portions of the exterior clouting and wall systems. Our experience as hard contractors tearing apart damaged buildings has given us a depth of knowledge of the unseen conditions impossible to match without time.
The financial incentives and sincere responsibilities associated with the use of subcontractors as compared to employees make it such that it is very difficult for a contractor to compete without the use of subs.
The very nature of 1099 identifies these persons work for themselves and self-manage. While this may be a cost-effective means of division of labor it does not always have the most skilled and trained person that understands multiple trades available at the job at the right time.
