FORENSIC
ENGINEERING

At Higgins Designs, we specialize in providing expert forensic engineering design services tailored for investigating and analyzing structural failures, accidents, and construction defects. Our team of experienced engineers is dedicated to conducting thorough investigations, identifying root causes, and developing practical solutions to prevent recurrence and ensure the safety and integrity of structures.

ELEMENTS OF THIS SERVICE

FAILURE INVESTIGATION & ANALYSIS

We conduct detailed investigations to determine the cause of structural failures, accidents, or defects. Our engineers utilize advanced forensic techniques, including visual inspections, structural testing, and material analysis, to identify factors contributing to the failure and assess the extent of damage.

EXPERT WITNESS TESTIMONY

Our engineers provide expert witness testimony for legal proceedings related to structural failures, accidents, or construction disputes. We offer clear and concise expert opinions based on our comprehensive analysis and technical expertise, assisting clients in resolving disputes and achieving favorable outcomes.

FORENSIC STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

We specialize in performing forensic structural analysis to evaluate the performance and behavior of structures under various loading conditions. Our engineers utilize advanced modeling and simulation techniques to assess structural integrity, identify deficiencies, and determine the root cause of structural failures.

CONSTRUCTION DEFECT INVESTIGATION

We investigate construction defects to identify errors, omissions, or deficiencies in design, materials, or construction practices. Our engineers conduct thorough reviews of construction documents, site inspections, and testing to determine the cause of defects and recommend corrective measures to mitigate risks.
