Forensic Engineering Consulting Geotechnical Engineers for NYC, Manhattan, The Boroughs, Nassau County, Suffolk County, Long Island, and New Jersey - Kagaoan Engineering

Complex testing needs and forensic analysis are two of the areas where our Kagaoan Engineering team of engineers can help businesses. Sample collection, data segmenting, and fault designation are services that we provide for firms in the New York area. We find the root of the problem in structural, underground, and mechanical failures. Our in-depth reports identify the solutions along with ways to prevent other breaches in the future. We assist large and small firms because our years of experience in this technical field provide us with the skills to be versatile, thorough, and effective.

Many things can cause a bridge, pavement, or construction equipment to break down or collapse. Excessive heat, low water levels, and friction are some ways that machinery and equipment can fail. Internal cracks, high-pressure forces, fires, and misuse of buildings or roadways can affect structural integrity and allow a catastrophic accident. Fatigue is a top cause of failure in roadways and other infrastructure like dams, sewers, drains and retaining walls. Many U.S. roadways see more than the estimated yearly traffic rates meaning that these pavements will see failure sooner than design estimates.

Our forensic engineering consultants visit the site and assess the situation to ensure safe inspection conditions. When the area is clear, a thorough investigation ensues with soil, load, and forensic samples that go through analysis on technical machinery like mass spectrometers and scanning electron microscopes. Our laboratory team tests the samples and provides an intense look at the materials in the test items.

Sometimes, figuring out what causes a structural failure requires putting the scene back together to see what went wrong. Forensic accident reconstruction requires using camera matching techniques, video editing, three-dimensional modeling, and top-down diagrams to reconfigure the exact point of breaking. Our team of geotechnical engineers understands how to interpret the results of accident reconstruction tests to discover the source of the problem. Once the failure has a correct identification, our forensic team can develop a list of corrective measures that provide cost analysis and longevity estimates.

Our blueprints, photos, and testing reports help judges and legal firms with accident reconstruction proof. We provide evidence of laboratory tests like metallurgical studies, tensile strength, and load capabilities to help courts manage cases where forensic analysis is necessary. Our team of consultants believes in the importance of this information in solving issues involving an accident or failure. We provide in-depth research showing the cause, effect, and retrofitting needs for correction.

Our forensic engineering consulting team has the skills in collection, analysis, and reporting that your firm needs to discover the source of an accident or failure. We provide corrosion testing, chemical analysis, and site reconstruction. Our team of experts can design solutions for existing builds or construction projects in the middle of the building process.
