Civil & Structural Forensic Engineering Services
When a building, roof, bridge, process plant, grain elevator, sewer, drilling rig, or other structure fails, McDowell Owens experts are here to examine, evaluate, investigate, and find answers.
McDowell Owens investigates civil and structural incidents and explains what happened, how it occurred, and how to avoid the same issues in the future. We dive deep in evaluating the design, materials, and methods that were employed in the construction of a structure to determine the loading and stability factors that contributed to the loss.
