Forensic Engineering Testing & Lab Services
Our Expertise
Our highly skilled team has the facility, equipment, and technical expertise to non-destructively examine subject artifacts, components, and products as well as design, construct, and test exemplar equipment and systems to acquire valuable data and support engineering analyses, hypotheses, and opinions.
Our laboratory capabilities include digital radiography (X-ray), materials and metallurgical examination, component analysis, and full-scale testing of exemplar equipment and systems. These capabilities allow us to evaluate evidence, investigate failure mechanisms, and develop scientifically supported conclusions while preserving critical evidence.
In addition, we design and construct demonstrative exhibits that effectively communicate complex engineering concepts and investigative findings to judges, juries, insurers, attorneys, and others. Our test models, procedures, results, and demonstrative exhibits have been admissible in court.
