Engineering Sydney Forensic Structural Reports in Sydney

Forensic engineering is the application of scientific and engineering principles to investigate failures that cause personal injury, property damage, or economic loss. Evaluation of the behaviour of the materials using standard failure analysis practices typically identifies the failure mechanism. This information helps determine the root cause and assign liability. The examination and testing of failed materials in a laboratory inspection is crucial as it can provide the required evidence that the involved parties need to manage their project.

Engineering Sydney’s forensic structural reports are largely used throughout the industry to target isolated issues, including building movement, concrete cancer, structural analysis, drainage review and foundation design and more.

What is Forensic Structural Investigation in Sydney?

The goal of a forensic building investigation in Sydney is for a qualified structural and civil engineer to exactly find and report the main causes of damage to a building and structures.

What should you expect from Engineering Sydney Building Inspection Routine?

Every forensic building investigation in Sydney starts with a detailed building inspection. Our forensic building inspections naturally take between one to two hours. This depends on the complexity or entanglement of the building, the major problems and the engineer’s distinctive routine and methods. At Engineering Sydney, all of our forensic structural engineers have years of experience performing structural inspections. 

Over the years, the structural engineers have each developed their own unique inspection routine that is suited for both the customer and for them. However, you should expect the following method when we are inspecting your house:

1. Engineering Sydney will either interview you or the individual responsible for the property throughout the inspection. We commonly ask about the age of the building, the details of the damage and the modifications that have been done to the structure.
2. The structural engineer will then ask the person responsible to give us a walkthrough of the building and point out the more noticeable damage and will ask certain questions like when was the damage first noticed?  Has the damage been repaired before? Etc.
3. The Engineering Sydney structural engineer will then photograph and take evidence from the site, structure and surroundings.
4. Then the engineer will decide whether the damage calls for action of any footing movement.
5. The engineer will assess the structural wall cracks and measure crack length, width, dimensions and other if more are required.
6. The engineer will ask the person responsible to provide any available documents on the structure, such as structural drawings, architectural drawings and geotechnical reports. This will assist within the investigations to precisely determine the structural damage and find the accurate engineering solution to the problem.

Several Factors set Engineering Sydney apart from the competition:

• We investigate the structural performance of the buildings – Other competitors who are only capable of recognise certain damages to buildings and structures and recommending basic solutions such as partial underpinning, resin injection, painting and patching, Engineering Sydney aims to investigate the overall performance of the structure to the clearer insight of what has gone wrong in the beginning.
