Partner offers Forensic Geotechnical Evaluations and Expert Witness opinions on the structural and geotechnical integrity of existing buildings, pavements, engineered structures, retaining walls, and slopes. The triggering events can be insurance or legal claims, refinancing, transactions, precautions due to nearby construction, or others.
For distressed properties, Partner uses forensic methods and scientific analysis to identify the cause of failure and to recommend and/or implement necessary repair solutions. Partner’s expert geotechnical engineers and geologists can reach any site to provide opinions, recommendations, repair estimates, and repair design.
