Rapid technology advances: propelling vehicle investigations in the fast lane
The history of the automobile is simply fascinating! Do you know the secrets of its evolution, spanning a mere 130 years? Discover the impact of innovations on collision reconstructions and vehicle investigations.
Photographs, printing and forensic engineering: from pixels to proof!
Exploiting all material evidence to reconstruct an accident or a loss means above all observing, investigating, recording. So here we are. From its first foundations to the definition that we know today, forensic engineering uses all scientific methods to bring together the elements needed to complete an investigation. What could be more logical than starting our new infographic series on the world's greatest inventions with printing and photography.
DRONES: The Forensic Investigator’s Eye in the Sky
Going where the eyes of the investigators can’t. Getting an unequaled vantage point to take aerial photos and videos of a site. Designing a 3D model of a site based on aerial images to allow a virtual visit to the location and fine tune the investigation. These are the reasons why CEP Forensic has been using drones for the last four years to enhance our forensic investigations. We sat down with our forensic investigator, Caitlin Ringland to talk about this topic.
Albert Einstein: Who was the man behind the icon?
Summarizing the career and life of Albert Einstein would be difficult… to associate him with forensic engineering even more so! For many of us, he's that shaggy-haired scientist, sticking his tongue out and shouting "E=mc²." However, this pop culture image doesn't really do justice to the political and global influence he had throughout his life.
Sump Pumps: hidden heros or potential villains
Practically everyone knows what a sump pump is and the usefulness of such a device, but do you know how these pumps really work and can you identify typical causes of failure? In this article, our engineer André Delhaise, will present the most common manufacturing, installation, and maintenance issues to allow you to properly manage your future claims related to the failure of a sump pump.
Pressure Equipment Failures
Some of the incidents associated with pressure equipment are explained by external loading that was not considered at the design stage. In this article, our mechanical engineer and specialist in pressure installations, Hugo Julien, lists nine crucial aspects to consider in terms of external loadings when designing pressure equipment.
