Independent investigation when something has failed, is suspected of failing, or is in dispute, and opinion that can be relied upon.
What we deliver
- Investigation of structural and mechanical failures and defects
- Assessment of design, fabrication and installation against the codes that applied at the time
- Back-analysis that reconstructs the loads, stresses and conditions behind an event
- Written reports and expert opinion for clients, insurers, legal teams and tribunals
Our approach
We start from the evidence and the code, not from a conclusion. Findings are kept separate from opinion, assumptions are stated, and every calculation can be followed by another engineer. Where we act as an expert, the opinion we give is independent and impartial.
Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015 by DNV, a certification body accredited by UKAS, for structural, civil and mechanical engineering design and analysis services. Certificate C654063.
