Infrastructure

In today's ever-changing society, there is a multitude of facilities and systems that support the functioning of our communities. Roads, railways, bridges, tunnels, as well as electrical grids and telecommunications systems, all play a vital role in our environments.

Ageing and deteriorating infrastructure are increasingly becoming an issue around the globe, with many of these structures and systems being developed long before our current safety standards existed. Add to those challenges factors such as sustainability, financing, and investments, and private and public entities managing critical infrastructure have immense risk to manage. Because of the size and scale of potential incidents, it is critical that you have access to a team of experienced engineers and experts to mitigate potential losses.

Critical Infrastructure Failure Investigations

Whether it be transportation systems, communication networks, sewage, water, or electric systems, infrastructure disasters can cause significant economic loss, as well as pose a myriad of risks to public health and safety. All of these factors make it critical to have an experienced team of forensic experts available to quickly assess the damages and provide accurate remediation direction following incidents involving critical infrastructure systems.

Our experts have decades of diverse industry experience, managing complex projects to key systems such as:

  • Buildings
  • Bridges and tunnels
  • Dams
  • Electric grids
  • Roads and railways
  • Underground developments (e.g. subways)
  • Long span structures
  • Oil and gas pipelines/racks
