What’s the deal with Lithium-Ion batteries?
These batteries are gaining popularity and are found more and more often in everyday life: laptops, cell phones, power tools, bicycles and vehicles. However, they are not without flaws. In the past year alone, various manufacturers have recalled hundreds of thousands of hybrid cars. So what risk factors come into play?
Debunking Fraudulent Claims with Infotainment Units
Our collision reconstruction group receives lots of inquiries about fraudulent or questionable collision claims. Some of these questions can be resolved by closely inspecting vehicle damage. However, an entirely different set of questions can be addressed by digging into the data stored by a vehicle’s infotainment unit.
The Effects of Vibrations on Buildings
The vibrations transmitted to a building or other engineered structure can lead to damage of varying magnitudes. They can be natural in origin, such as during an earthquake, or they can be mechanical (human or machine created) in nature.
The adventures of forensic technology: when reality goes beyond fiction
Recognized around the world for his exceptional sense of deduction, Sherlock Holmes was driven by his thirst for truth and desire to reveal the culprits in the shadows with solid evidence. One of the arrows in his quiver was the use of avant-garde tools, which allowed him to collect clues and validate his hypotheses.

Throughout Canada, requirements have been established for structural assessments to ensure safe entry to a building following a fire in order to investigate the cause, document and quantify the loss, develop repair plans and retrieve contents.
