Forensic engineering is the investigation of failures or malfunctions in structures, materials, and systems. At cescon, we specialize in providing forensic engineering services to help our clients determine the cause of structural failures and find solutions to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Our team of experienced engineers has extensive knowledge in a variety of structures, including buildings, houses, bridges, and other infrastructure. We use cutting-edge technology and advanced analytical techniques to thoroughly investigate and assess the condition of structures, identify the cause of any failures, and provide recommendations for repairs or retrofits.

At Cescon, we also understand the importance of non-destructive testing in certain cases. Our team of experts conduct thorough visual inspections and provide accurate and reliable information about the condition of the property. However, if required, we also recommend non-destructive testing methods such as ultrasonic testing, infrared thermography, and others to identify potential issues. Our visual inspections are carried out on-site and are non-invasive, enabling us to provide precise recommendations for repair or replacement.

Our forensic engineering services include:

• Site inspections and investigations
• Failure analysis and testing
• Damage assessments
• Root cause analysis
• Expert witness testimony
