Erickson Structural is frequently consulted to determine the causes of unexpected or substandard performance of building structures. We provide consultation, investigation, structural analysis, destructive and non-destructive testing, technical reports, and can serve as an expert witness. We also assist with the development of remediation designs, remediation cost estimates and provide engineering support services during the construction phase.
We are often called upon to assist with the investigation of insurance claims that involve structural loss. We observe and document the extent of the damage, conduct tests or perform subsurface investigations, establish the proximate causes of the damage, recommend repairs and prepare a final report usable by the various parties involved in the claim.
