Point Clouds: A Powerful Investigative Tool
Science, technology and engineering are constantly advancing and it can be quite challenging to keep up. Some technology certainly deserves to be known and that is the case with Point Clouds. This tech looks like it is from the future but is increasingly accessible and put to use in many fields. To find out more about this technology and how it can be useful in forensic investigations, we sat down with our expert Brandon Cathcart.

File handling and the fable of the tortoise and the hare... the same lesson to be learned!
If Aesop illustrated the handling of litigation files ... he would try to make people understand that it is important to begin immediately. In the famous fable the tortoise and the hare, our friend the tortoise, through regular and tireless work, won a race which seemed unattainable at the start!
Keeping Boilers Safe
The first boiler with a safety valve was designed by Denis Papin of France in 1679; boilers were made and used in England by the turn of the 18th century. Early boilers were made of wrought iron and riveted; as the advantages of high pressure and temperature were realized, manufacturers turned to steel and welding was accepted by the ASME Code in the 30’s.
Oil and Concrete: the effects of contamination on structural elements
Oil spills and leaks happen, particularly in structures that deal with the storage, transport, or processing of oil products. Contamination can occur through a variety of avenues, but the main concern when dealing with contaminated concrete (outside of the environmental issues) is whether the structure is still sound. What do these leaks or spills do to the concrete below them?
