Structural Diagnostics

Structures with complex restoration, rehabilitation and forensic engineering challenges need customized solutions to help clients maximize their return on investment. Our experts can help restore the intrinsic value of structures, determine the cause and origin of failures, settle insurance claims and testify in landmark litigation cases.

Existing structures have a wide range of ongoing deterioration mechanisms that impact their useful life. We can help break this cycle with effective solutions that extend the useful life of structures. We help our clients determine causes of distress and as-built load carrying capacities, solve vibration problems, and we address serviceability challenges for a wide variety of structural framing, cladding and building envelope systems.

We can successfully respond to time-sensitive projects using state-of-the-art analytical techniques and field monitoring tools. These new technologies enhance our diagnostic capabilities to help us deliver practical, cost-effective design solutions that work for our clients.
