When a failure occurs on a construction, either during the construction, or during its use, it is typically necessary to determine the causes for the failure in first instance as well as the extent of the damage to assess the cost for the reparation. It is important to keep in mind that in some cases it is simple to assess the damage, for instance, in the event of a total collapse of an structure. However, in the cases of partial collapses, fires in certain zones of a building it might not result evident to the human eye the extent of damage, moreover, because some damage might not be visible, por example change in the material properties due to a fire, and in those cases an extended analysis is required.

We apply well established forensic engineering method for the investigations, that in general include, orientation, data collection, hypotheses, hypotheses testing’s, results analysis and reporting and concluding.
