“Meet Your Problem Solver, Greg Batista”

Everything you need to know about forensic engineering!

Forensic Engineering is the investigation of materials, products, structures, or components that fail or do not operate/function as intended, causing personal injury or damage to property. The subject is applied most commonly in civil law cases. Generally, the purpose of a Forensic Engineer is to locate the causes of failure with a view to improving the performance or life of a component. Additionally, the expert insights and technical knowledge of a forensic engineer can assist legal proceedings in comprehending complex issues and arriving at fair resolutions.  Through our work, we aim to create a safer and more reliable environment for individuals and their surroundings.

G. Batista E&C assists clients with preparing and analyzing construction claims. Owners and contractors who realize the potential for conflicts rely on the firm’s construction claims experts who are experienced construction managers and engineers. Our professionals possess unique skill sets that enable us to prepare and analyze claim issues promoting timely resolution. Clients depend on our specialized knowledge and expertise of construction claims to efficiently and cost-effectively produce persuasive position statements for favorable and informed settlements.

When failure strikes, our team of forensic engineers can assist you in unraveling the underlying reasons behind the incident. Utilizing scientific principles, analytical tools, and our specialized knowledge, we can meticulously examine failed materials, products, structures, or components. By conducting thorough investigations, we can identify design flaws, manufacturing defects, inadequate maintenance practices, or other contributing factors that led to the failure.

With over 30 years of combined experience in Engineering and Construction, we have plenty of experience in Forensic Engineering. It is rare to find an engineering company that also understands the construction process and has experience in both fields. This allows us to provide a unique perspective by understanding both the planning and building process that goes into construction projects.

Miami-Dade County is home to many large structures and buildings. From all of the hotels and condos in Miami Beach to Doral, Coral Gables, Brickell, Key Biscayne, and more you will find many properties that are near the ocean. Due to the close proximity these buildings have to the ocean their structures can be weakened by the salt ions that are circulating in the air. Our forensic engineers can provide a thorough analysis and help you to identify issues in your structure so you can take preventive measures and ensure the longevity of your building. Whether you are a building manager or simply a condo owner we can help you with any forensic engineering questions you might have about your building in Miami-Dade County.

In highly regulated industries, compliance with safety standards and engineering codes is critical. Especially when it comes to 40-year building recertifications and milestone inspections. Following the incident that occurred with the building collapse in Surfside these code requirements were tightened in order to prevent such a devastating tragedy from occurring again. Our Forensic engineers can assess whether a product, structure, or system adheres to relevant regulations and industry standards. In cases where non-compliance is found to be a contributing factor in an accident, our findings can have significant legal and financial implications.

In addition to uncovering the causes of failure, our forensic engineers also focus on finding practical solutions to enhance the performance and further the lifespan of structural components in Buildings. Through our forensic investigations, we can provide you with valuable insights into the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of a structure so you can take preventive maintenance measures and extend the longevity of your building. Once we do a thorough investigation we can suggest design modifications, recommend improved maintenance protocols, or propose better manufacturing techniques to prevent future failures and improve overall performance.

Our Forensic engineers can play a crucial role in legal proceedings by providing expert opinions and technical expertise to courts and legal teams. We can assist in clarifying the facts surrounding an accident, presenting evidence, and explaining complex technical concepts in a manner that is easily understandable to judges, juries, and other parties involved. An objective and unbiased analysis from a forensic engineer will help ensure that accurate and comprehensive information is available to facilitate fair judgments and resolutions.

Broward and Palm Beach counties are home to many oceanfront properties. Whether it is a resort or residential building on Las Olas or a building near the water in Palm Beach these buildings are incredibly vulnerable to the salt ions floating around in the air. Due to the close proximity to the ocean, it is important to monitor the structural components of a building in order to take preventive measures and ensure the longevity of a structure. Our forensic engineers can go out to your building in Broward and Palm Beach and provide valuable insight into the structural integrity of your property.

I had a great experience with this firm. Provided an immediate appointment for my clients that were in a pinch with time constraints regarding their inspection period for a home purchase. They delivered fast, detailed, and professional service. Explained findings in understandable language so that my customers could be confident on what was on the inspection report. I recommend highly their services. Thanks Greg for all your help!

I am so impressed with the service that we received from this company!! Seamless……..Showed up for Structural and Electrical inspection on time.
Completed the inspection while being aware of the various retail establishments needs during the inspection. Advised us what was needed by the City of Fort Lauderdale for completion of certification – filing, filing fees and their address.
