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.
CAT Loss Claims: When the Evacuation Ends
Wildfires can cause total devastation to properties, and widespread evacuations are often ordered to ensure the safety of those living and working in the immediate area of the fire. When returning home following a wildfire evacuation, most owners inspect their property carefully and may identify damage that was actually a pre-existing issue that simply had not been identified before. In CEP Forensic’s experience in dealing with post-wildfire insurance claims, our experts have identified some of the most common property-related issues following a wildfire evacuation.
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.
Verification of compliance with fire protection standards
The code compliance analysis of fire protection systems is a weapon (or defence) of choice in the context of a potential subrogation, following a fire in a building. This article briefly describes the process of determining code compliance.
Physics, Mechanics and Forensic Engineering: The 1001 Lives of Isaac Newton
There are people like that who are born under a lucky star or… under the right tree! Yes, legend has it that Isaac Newton developed the theory of gravity after seeing an apple fall from his apple tree. He probably thought to himself "Why did it fall?" as he ate it. Isaac Newton is about much more than gravity! Discover what he brought to forensic engineering, and much more!
