Forensic Engineering
Technically defensible analysis for claims, disputes and litigation.
Where failure investigation establishes what happened, forensic engineering produces analysis built to survive challenge. Method, evidence handling and documentation are structured from day one for an adversarial audience.

Questions we are asked
- What does the physical evidence establish?
- Which technical arguments are supportable?
- Where is the opposing analysis weak?
- How is this explained to a lay decision maker?
Scope of Work
What the engagement covers.
How this differs from failure investigation
The two are related and frequently sequential, but they answer different questions.
- Failure investigation determines the mechanism and cause of an event
- Forensic engineering produces analysis and documentation that withstands adversarial scrutiny
- Forensic work assumes the record will be tested by an opposing expert
- Scope, method and limitations are documented to that standard throughout
Method and standards
Analysis anchored in recognized engineering practice and applicable codes.
- Code, standard and specification analysis
- Calculation, testing, modeling and simulation as the question requires
- Standard of care and industry practice assessment
- Documented method, assumptions and uncertainty
Work product
Reports written to be read by technical, commercial and legal audiences without translation.
- Findings tied to the specific evidence supporting them
- Technical demonstratives for non-technical decision makers
- Rebuttal analysis of an opposing technical opinion
- Peer-reviewed before release

Method
How the work is sequenced.
Scope and independence check
Evidence examination
Standards and calculation analysis
Peer challenge
Defensible written opinion
Engineering Governance
How independence is protected.
Institutional clients rely on the process behind the opinion as much as the opinion itself.
Independence
We are retained for an engineering answer, not a predetermined conclusion. Findings are stated with their limitations.
Conflicts screening
Every prospective engagement is screened against parties, assets and prior involvement before scope is accepted.
Confidentiality
Transaction and claims material is handled under confidentiality, with controlled access and clean-team arrangements where required.
Evidence handling
Physical evidence is documented, secured and tracked with chain of custody suitable for adversarial review.
Peer review
Conclusions are challenged by a specialist outside the primary discipline before release.
Professional liability
The firm carries professional liability cover and works to recognized engineering standards of care.

Test the technical position before it is tested for you.
Initial conversations are confidential and without obligation. We will confirm independence before scope is discussed.
