Through efficient technical expertise and scientific analysis applied to every claim, our experts can help to separate truth from falsehoods. In this technical article, our forensic engineers provide examples of cases where investigative work has successfully revealed the truth.
The Benefits of Wood, What to Look Out for and the Importance of Maintenance
Wood stands out as an incredibly versatile material capable of serving multiple purposes. Yet, the intricate nature of a tree's structure adds layers of complexity. Firstly, the wood harvested from a single tree varies in consistency depending on its growth stage. Moreover, despite its utility, wood tends to absorb moisture, posing challenges, particularly in construction applications where moisture is problematic. Safeguarding wood against the elements becomes paramount, necessitating the application of varnish, paint, or stain for protection, along with diligent maintenance to ensure its longevity.
Unravelling Forensic Investigation
Gathering information, facts, and documents is a crucial part of any forensic investigation. In fact, only by gathering all the data can the expert obtain a clear picture of all possible causes to explain a failure. Then they can use fault tree analysis and technical knowledge to identify the root cause(s) of an incident and produce a report to explain it all.
