When a vehicle collides into a building, assessing and repairing the damage is more complex than it may seem. This course will explore the critical steps involved in ensuring structural safety, evaluating impact-related damage, and developing effective repair strategies.

Our experts will discuss immediate safety considerations and stabilization techniques, how to assess structural damage and differentiate between new and pre-existing issues, challenges posed by different building materials and construction methods, and best practices for restoring structural integrity.

Recreational vehicles (RVs) face a range of potential damages, from structure failures due to rough terrain, overloading, or fabrication, and design deficiencies to moisture-related issues affecting the building envelope components. This course will explore how different engineering disciplines, such as structural, mechanical and materials engineering, for analysis and accident reconstruction, come together to determine the cause of damages to RV claims.

Attendees will learn about common failure mechanisms, how to differentiate between gradual wear and sudden impact damage, and the best practices for assessing and resolving RV related claims. Join us for a technical discussion on the challenges of investigating RV losses.

Designed for adjusters, this webinar will provide an in-depth look at the tools and techniques forensic engineers use to determine the causes of material failures. You will explore critical methods for analyzing fractures, corrosion, fatigue, and other material damages.

The session will cover key tools and techniques forensic engineers rely on to identify material failures. It will also examine how to diagnose common issues such as fractures, corrosion, and fatigue. Additionally, you will learn how forensic findings inform insurance claims and enhance your evaluation process.

In this course we will be discussing slips, trips and falls from a biomechanical and technical perspective. We will cover the biomechanics of the human walking gait, as well as slip and fall movements, and discuss the factors, conditions and common facility issues that may lead to slip and trip incidents. We will also introduce the steps involved with an engineering investigation of a slip, trip and fall claim and cover the information adjusters should consider documenting in the early stages of such claims. This webinar will conclude with case studies that illustrate a biomechanical engineering assessment of slip, trip and fall investigations.

Generally, it is best practice to keep flammable liquids away from sources of ignition; however, when we think of a vehicle engine, that simply is not always possible. The entire intent of a combustion engine is to burn fuel, and that gets hot. So hot that it can even ignite coolant, brake or steering fluids if they come into contact.

In this webinar, CEP experts will review failure modes that lead to fluid leaks, and the multiple questions to keep in mind when exploring the cause and origin of a vehicle fire.

Once the fire has been extinguished and the debris has been cleared away, the work of reconstruction begins. In this webinar, our experts delve into the structural issues that are often found following a fire that occurred in a structure made of concrete, steel or wood. Issues that arise after a fire will dictate the path moving forward, answering the question: whether to repair vs replace the fire-affected part of the building. Our presenters will also cover a wide range of things to consider, such as when and why you may need a structural engineer to provide repair recommendations. Join us as we explore putting things back together after a fire.
