Forensic Structural Investigations
Our forensic structural engineers investigate the cause, nature and extent of damage, defects and failures affecting buildings and structures. We combine engineering assessment, site evidence and specialist testing to provide clear findings and practical next steps.
Following a natural disaster, whether this is severe flooding, landslips, or earthquake events our multi-discipline team can provide a full coverage response to disaster recovery.
We provide insurance firms, local council authorities, and private clients with natural hazard response, from initial ground and property assessments through to remedial structural work.
Our fire engineering design services are available for buildings of all sizes and levels of complexity, from residential units to multi-storey offices, to commercial and industrial developments.
Fire engineering is an increasingly important discipline within New Zealand’s construction industry. Internationally, high-profile fires have highlighted the need for comprehensive fire engineering design to provide maximum life safety, while still allowing for architectural freedom and building usability.
Our expertise in all materials, structural systems, and construction methodologies has generated a national reputation for finding better ways to deliver clients’ projects to a high standard.
Our civil engineering team specialises in delivering cost-effective civil solutions to the built and natural environment.
Our team has a wide range of experience from residential land development, to commercial and industrial.
Engaging an environmental consultant early on means potential issues can be identified and solutions incorporated into construction programmes – reducing the potential for unexpected costs arising during construction and earthwork activities.
Protecting human health and the environment are at the forefront of our environmental team’s work. They’re experts at identifying potential contaminants, and their source, which may impact your land and its potential development.
Structural Engineering Expert Witness Services
We provide independent structural engineering advice for claims and disputes involving natural-hazard damage, design issues, construction failures and building compliance. Our specialists deliver clear technical reports and support throughout dispute-resolution and court processes.
Our team of geotechnical engineers have a wealth of experience. experience in designing solutions that are tailormade for our New Zealand environment. We’ve worked on everything from slope stability assessments in Northland’s Doubtless Bay to liquefaction analyses in Invercargill.
We are experts in modular buildings and volumetric design providing schools, residential developments and hotels with this methodology.
