What is Forensic Engineering in Florida?

Forensic engineering involves the application of scientific and engineering principles to investigate and resolve structural, mechanical, or design issues. Whether addressing structural failures or storm damage, Florida Engineering's forensic experts are equipped to handle complex cases with accuracy and professionalism.


Forensic engineering combines applied science, law, and engineering to identify the root causes of defects, hazards, and failures in manmade structures and systems. It plays a crucial role in investigating transportation accidents, structural disasters, and design flaws during construction or product development.

For instance, if a structure collapses, forensic engineers assess the failure by examining structural components to determine the cause. Was the collapse due to natural forces, material defects, or substandard construction? By employing specialized techniques like nondestructive testing and failure mode and effects analysis, forensic engineers uncover the answers needed to inform remediation and prevent future issues.
