Find the Root Cause for Disaster

Exploring Forensic Engineering

Forensic engineering is the discipline that applies engineering principles and scientific methods to investigate failures, especially those involving machinery, components, materials, or structures. Often likened to reverse engineering, its primary goal is to determine the root causes of malfunctions or breakdowns. The insights gained from these investigations are vital in cases of injury or property damage, such as building collapses, sprinkler system failures, or machinery malfunctions that cause harm. These findings are frequently utilized in legal proceedings to resolve disputes or claims, with engineers providing expert testimony on the causes of failures. Additionally, forensic engineers are often called upon to investigate catastrophic events like hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, explosions, and large fires.
