Augusta Forensic Engineering FAQs
Traditional engineering focuses on designing and constructing safe, functional structures, while forensic engineering investigates failures, defects, and damage in existing structures. Forensic engineers analyze why a failure occurred, using scientific testing and investigative methods to determine causes and recommend solutions.
A forensic engineer is needed when structural damage, construction defects, or system failures require an expert evaluation. Common scenarios include post-disaster assessments, insurance claims, accident reconstructions, and legal disputes requiring technical expertise.
Insurance companies rely on forensic engineering services to evaluate property damage claims, determine the cause of structural failures, and assess liability. Engineers provide expert witness testimony, detailed reports, and evidence-based conclusions to support claim resolutions.
Forensic engineering utilizes both destructive and non-destructive testing to analyze materials and structures. Common methods include ground-penetrating radar, impact echo testing, moisture detection, wind uplift testing, and electronic leak detection to assess damage without causing further harm.
Forensic engineering identifies structures, systems, and materials weaknesses, helping property owners prevent failures and improve long-term safety. Engineers recommend maintenance, repairs, and upgrades to ensure buildings meet structural integrity standards.
