Frequently asked questions on Forensic Engineering
Explore our industry’s most frequently asked questions and discover the value of forensic engineering
What is forensic engineering?
Forensic engineering is a branch of applied science devoted to failure analysis. More specifically, it combines the use of many engineering disciplines to determine the causes of failure. Forensic engineers also analyze the damages caused by catastrophic events such as floods, earthquakes, explosions, hurricanes, and major fires. Forensic engineering plays a critical role in the insurance and litigation fields, particularly in cases involving casualties or property damages related to the failure of materials, components, design, structures or injury.
What do forensic engineers do?
Forensic engineers are licensed engineers who specialize in
- simulation, testing and evaluation
- failure analysis
- evidence gathering
- repair recommendations
- injury evaluation
- and more.
This allows clients to explore potential remediation opportunities. Following the investigation process, they analyze the collected data and draw conclusions to provide clients with thorough and unbiased assessments. They also prepare reports and serve as expert witnesses in court proceedings. Forensic engineers are held to high standards of professional practice and ethical conduct to ensure the reliability and credibility of their findings.
