Airey Taylor Consulting provides forensic engineering, including analysis, modelling, reporting, remediation, and Expert Witness services up to Supreme Court level.
Understanding Structural Failures and Delivering Clear, Actionable Reports
Forensic Engineering is the analytical study of structures, materials or components that have underperformed. Results of this underperformance can range from catastrophic wider impacts to merely a product that does not satisfy reasonable expectations.
Failures can result from design or construction generated faults or a combination of both. Some examples of issues encountered included foundation design issues, seismic events, adjacent construction, temperature effects, brick growth, incompatibility of materials, reinforcement corrosion (concrete cancer), roof spread, excessive vibrations during construction, under design for terrain and wind to name just a few.
Airey Taylor Consulting’s team of Engineers and Scientists are able to conclusively identify problem factors and report this information in a manner that can be readily understood by stakeholders without engineering expertise. These stakeholders crucially include legal and insurance firms. We have a large client base of these stakeholders including Tier 1 and 2 Law firms, government instrumentalities such as Building Management and Works (BMW), Insurers, construction companies and high value property owners.
Independent, Reliable, and Detailed Forensic Engineering Services
We carry out a wide range of investigations into water damage, concrete cracking, ill performing structures, construction induced damage, ill performing civil projects, contractual disputes, material issues and investigation into the failure of paint and finishes. We can also provide detailed analysis of whether structures comply with the Building Code of Australia and relevant Australian Standards at the time of construction or modification, leading to the resolution of personal injury claims.
Our conclusions are reached after thorough investigation are reliable without bias and are able to withstand the scrutiny of other Experts practicing within the same discipline.
