Collapses, construction defects, faulty workmanship, fires, water damage, or failures can cause significant damage and raise complex technical issues.
Collapses, construction defects, workmanship deficiencies, fires, water damage and breakage can cause significant damage and raise complex technical issues.
Origin’s forensic civil and structural engineering experts support owners, contractors, insurers and other stakeholders in determining the cause and extent of damage, through technical analyses and structural assessments that comply with applicable standards and best practices.
The analysis of structural failures — concrete foundations in particular — and of structural settlement is also an integral part of our expertise. To support these analyses, our engineers use specialized software for 3D modelling and assessment of structures made of various materials, including steel, cold-formed steel, concrete, engineered wood, light-frame wood and aluminum.
Every file presents its own technical challenges. Origin’s forensic experts analyze the facts, examine the site and assess the technical evidence to determine the cause of the damage and the circumstances of the loss. They support their clients throughout the assignment and provide clear, well-documented conclusions to support decision-making.
