Forensic investigation, analysis and remedial designs are an important specialty of Maverick
Engineering.
These services include, but not
limited to:
Inspection of structural
damage after earthquakes,
hurricanes and floods and design of appropriate remedial actions to restore structural
integrity when necessary. We did extensive review of commercial buildings in California
after earthquakes in 1989 and 1991.
Fire and accident investigations both to determine
structural damage and, to establish the position of all relevant elements and
reference points.
Residential structural inspections, foundation failure analysis and repair
design.
Structural evaluation of commercial buildings to
determine whether proposed changes in use and loading can be accommodated. In
some cases
modifications can be designed to increase load carrying capacity.
Expert testimony in matters where we conducted
forensic investigations; objective, third-party witness on engineering standards.
Assistance in development of building
codes and standards.
