STRUCTURAL &
CIVIL ENGINEERING

When an event damages a building, several questions come to mind. Why has the structure collapsed, the roof torn off or the retaining wall tipped over? What is the cause of water infiltration or storm sewer backup? What needs to be done to return this building to a safe state? And since significant costs and restoration work are involved, identifying the cause and assigning responsibility are essential.
