Experienced Structural And Civil Forensic Engineering Expert
MarcorSEN Engineering provides forensic investigations to determine the cause and extent of damage from natural disasters (i.e. fire, water, earth movement, etc.) or man-made failures
Through forensic structural investigations we determine the cause of a structural failure, whether from weather, moisture, impact, soil issues or construction defect and determining the suitability of the structure for continued use.
Structural Failure Analysis
We help establish the cause loss of buildings, structures, investigating whether damages are caused from
- Defects—construction defects, design flaws, material defects, material deterioration
- Water—water infiltration, water intrusion, rot, rain and flood damage, storm damage
- Weather—high winds, hail damage, wind damage, tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes
- Geotechnical—foundation, settlement, subsidence, sinkhole
- Hydrologic and hydraulic studies
- Fires—electrical faults, heating systems, flammable materials, human error, arson
- Code Violations
Investigation
A forensic project management investigator evaluates the management of a proposed or executed project and compares it with best practices and guidelines to discover failures, identify root causes, and provide expert opinion.

What I do
Assessing Infastructure Failure Cause and Remediation
Natural Disaster Building Impact
Marcor has studied the impact of hurricanes, tornadoes, vibrations, floods, hail, high winds on roofing, framing, and foundation damages to residential, commercial, and industrial buildings and other infastructure.
Failure Causation
Marcor provides insight into the causation of building failure, whether soil, moisture, lack of maintenance, or standards of construction.
Adherence to Building Codes
Marcor studies whether a building failure has resulted from a lack of adherence to building codes.
