Civil + Structural Failure
Our world-class team of civil and structural engineers work to determine the root cause of any structural failure.
Investigating + Analyzing Structural Failures
Structural failures within the built environment can occur for a variety of reasons, both man-made and from natural disasters. Our world-class team of civil and structural engineers works with our global multidisciplinary team to determine the root cause of any structural failure— including dam, bridge, and building failures.

Structural Failure Analysis
We provide structural failure investigation, analysis, and reporting services which include structural and seismic evaluation, damage assessment, and repair design. Our experts have determined the root cause of complex structural integrity failures around the globe, decisions which have withstood the scrutiny of courts.
Structural Safety
Poor structural integrity and insufficient safety measures can impact building performance and life safety. We collaborate across key specialty areas, providing start-to-finish problem-solving strategies. We also provide forensic services to perform structural safety assessments and determine the extent of the damage and necessary repairs after a fire event.
