When a building raises questions, structural forensics helps uncover the answers.
Unlike traditional structural engineering, structural forensics looks back by examining existing buildings to understand what went wrong, why it happened, and what needs to change moving forward to ensure the resilience of a building.
In this week’s Sandbox FOMO5, taken from our latest episode ‘What’s the crack? Investigating Structural Forensics’, our guests define what forensic engineering is, and explore:
- How forensic engineers investigate risk and defects
- The importance of understanding causation
- How engineering insight supports legal and insurance decisions
Joining our regular host Andy Duncan, are Buro Happold experts Julian McFarland, Director, and Jan Anil, Associate Director, and special guest Emily Clift, Legal Director, Kennedy’s Law.
