Second Opinion Structural & Forensic Inspections for Dispute Resolution.
Expert Witness & Testimonial.

We provide structural & forensic damage assessment reports to insurance, as well as adjuster clients for building failures, natural disasters, and failures due to under design. We also provide estimates for repairs based on original values and ASV. Whether the collapse is due to a design fault, natural disasters, deficient structural design, or over-stressing. We can provide you with good enough reports that can tell u the real problem.

Purpose of Structural Inspections New Orleans

The main purpose of the program is to ensure the building is safe from a structural and electrical standpoint. Many structural engineers spend the majority of their time conducting inspections on older buildings, and they are required to prepare a report of their findings. Buildings older than 40 years old may not be strong enough to withstand hurricane-force winds and other weather phenomena. So the purpose of the inspection program is to ensure the building is as safe as possible to prevent injury or death.

Structural Inspections for Older Buildings

All older buildings and structures must undergo structural inspections after 30 to 40 years to certify the structural integrity of the buildings, including a commercial property condition assessment. Even if you haven’t used a particular building in years. The property owner is still responsible for participating in the program. The first step a property owner must take is to look for the best structural engineers. These engineers can help you through the process to ensure compliance from start to finish.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or Finite Element Method (FEM).

The Purpose of FEA Analytical is to provide Solutions for the following:

• Stress analysis for trusses, beams, and other superficial structures is carried out based on dramatic simplification
and idealization:
– mass concentrated at the center of gravity
– beam simplified as a line segment (same cross-section)
• Design is based on the calculation results of the idealized
structure & a significant safety factor (1.5-3) given by experience.

• Design geometry is a lot more complex and requires much higher accuracy. We need to understand the physical behaviors of a complex object (strength, heat transfer capability, fluid flow, etc.)
– To predict the performance and behavior of the design; to calculate the safety margin; to identify the weakness of the design accurately; and
– To identify the optimal design with confidence
