Forensic Analysis

The Structures Group, Inc. provides forensic analysis to determine the nature and extent of distress exhibited in failed structures. Sobering as the subject is, studying structural failures has a positive side. Whether the failure is due to construction deficiencies, design deficiencies, and/or natural disasters, the analysis of these failures helps us become better designers through a more intense and extensive awareness of the consequences of poor construction, design or planning.

• Determine nature and extent of distress in structural steel, timber, concrete, and masonry structures.
• Ascertain cause of distress with regard to construction or design deficiencies.
• Forensic Analysis of numerous structures following natural disasters, including hurricanes, tornadoes, Nor’easters and earthquakes.
• Experience providing the initial structural evaluations, structural analysis, and subsequent remedial repair designs in a wide variety of disaster and restoration projects.
• Analysis of the cost-effectiveness of remedial repairs.
