Forensics

Expert Investigation & Forensic Analysis to Protect Your Establishment

Forensics industry is essential when a failure occurs, whether it’s a structural defect, accidental death, product failure or car accident – forensics are important to understand why it happened. Knowing the root cause of a failure enables you to protect lives, property and reputation in the future. Our investment in R&D, dedicated to a rigorous scientific process, means we’re at the forefront of complex forensic investigations and in-depth analysis. The next generation of crime tools and challenges has came in the form of digital manufacturing and the network associated with it (ex. IoTs). Such technologies have been used for criminal justice purposes and to create new sites of attacks such as thefts of digital data files, machine sabotage and part design manipulation. Crime scene investigators and forensic examiners have made use of the field in accident reconstruction, replication of crime scene evidence, and facial reconstruction from unidentified skeletal remains. Thus, it provides rapid response and post-event investigative services to support any fire, building collapse, accident, product defect or progressive failure cause and origin investigation.

 

Reconstruction & Virtual Evidence

Crimial justice investigators expect the best and latest crime reconstruction & forensics technology to measure and analyze the physical evidence from the crash scene, the vehicles and the overall environment. High fidelity imaging techniques can make the difference in vantage point investigations that can be overcome with drone, photogrammetry, 3D scanning and digital CAD software. With tools such as these, one can create ``Virtual Evidence`` to simulate the sequence of events of vehicle crashes, building collapse and accidents. When people are injured or killed in an accident, it’s critical to understand why. Biomechanical and biomedical engineers are the experts required in forensic injury investigation.

Body Part Replicas

For injury biomechanics and medical device forensics, digital software and fabrication can be a great asset for documentation, human identification, dental anthropology & comparative dental anatomy, bite mark & pattern analysis, forensic facial/crime reconstruction, ballistic reconstruction, disaster victim identification and forensic anthropology & archaeology. Additionally, the technology can help track down missing persons by replicating fingerprints to gain access to personal smart devices, PCs or laptop. Identifying different forensic streams, where 3D technology can be used effectively, establishes a multi-disciplinary approach to develop the best practices in forensics using digital technologies.

Industrial & Construction Forensics

Failures within a building environment or a factory plant can occur at any time for a variety of reasons. A deep understanding of all aspects of design & foundation, condition assessment & evaluation techniques, and the materials themselves is required to determine the root cause of a failure. AEC failure analysis, repair and remediation can be done through building science, building damage assessments, construction defect, design defect, earth movement, geotechnical engineering, facility condition assessments, maximum probable loss evaluations, soil analysis, structural integrity, and vibration analysis. In a manufacturing environment, incidents sometimes happen from electrocution, component/machine failure, battery fires or power supply failures. A deep industry knowledge of the regulatory landscape and a comprehensive understanding of the often conflicting international codes and standards are essential in design analysis, testing, export support and product failure analysis for a wide variety of products, equipment and materials across a wide range of industries.
