Forensic Engineering


Forensic engineering is the practice of using engineering knowledge and methods to determine why something has failed. Western specializes in geotechnical and infrastructure failures.
 
We have conducted investigations for homeowners, industrial facilities, insurance companies, and public entities. Projects have included water intrusion/flooding, waterline failures, soil settlement, embankment failures, and other geotechnical failures such as frost heave and expansive materials.
 
Services include:
            Detailed examination
            Documentation
            Analysis
            Reports for forensic cases
            Evidence transportation and storage
            Depositions and testimony
 
We can also produce recommendations and design services for remediation for these cases.
 
Two of our professional engineers are affiliate members of the National Academy of Forensic Engineers.
