The hidden side of structures

WHEN STRUCTURES SPEAK

Investigations into failures, damage, or anomalies in structures and infrastructures provide a brief glimpse into the daily work of our civil engineering team.

Combining technical expertise with scientific rigor, we can determine the cause or causes of incidents, whether they result from design or construction errors, wear and tear, or unforeseen events.

From assessing incidents to improving safety and preventing future incidents, we turn every finding into a clear answer to your initial question.

UNDERSTAND, ANALYZE, PREVENT

When a building experiences water infiltration or begins to settle, it is essential to look beyond appearances and identify the true cause or causes. Rather than simply addressing the symptoms, the civil engineer seeks to determine the cause of the problem. Our rigorous, scientific approach allows us to provide targeted, durable solutions tailored to the specifics of each incident.

Our Areas of Expertise

Our civil engineers specialize in analyzing failures in structures and civil works, including collapses, cracks, instabilities, and other similar incidents. Through a rigorous scientific methodology, we identify the root causes of these failures—design flaws, construction defects, inadequate materials, or degradation—to support investigations and help prevent future incidents.

Civil

  • Construction defects of buildings
  • Water infiltration and condensation
  • Fire damage and propagation
  • Analyses of construction contract management
  • Drainage issues, sewer backups, and ditch overflows
  • Damage to exterior cladding of buildings
  • Unstable foundations and retaining walls
  • Ferrous ochre issues
  • Any damage directly or indirectly affecting the construction

Compliance and standardization

  • Post-incident compliance
  • Compliance of building fire protection and fire propagation
  • Compliance of building envelope
  • Insulation, water infiltration, and condensation

Structure

  • Building settlement and collapse
  • Compliance analysis and post-incident repair design
  • Effects of frost, wind, snow, or vibrations on buildings
  • Soil stability, excavation, and underpinning works
