Under abnormal or extreme conditions such as hurricanes, floods, winds, fire, and earthquakes, almost any structure may fail.
Objective Engineering Analysis
How We Help You
Since 1986, McDowell Owens’ experts have examined and evaluated thousands of buildings, roofs, bridges, process plants, grain elevators, sewers, and drilling and production structures. By evaluating the design, materials, and methods employed in the construction of a structure or foundation, we are able to determine loading and stability factors that may have contributed to the loss.
