Investigative Engineering
Our seasoned staff has the knowledge and experience to investigate and analyze existing structures to identify structural engineering issues and recommend repairs. When structural issues arise, we pinpoint the what, why, and how. What caused the damage? Why is the damage occurring? How did it happen? After answering these questions, AEI assists with determining the most economical and safe course of repair or action. We have specialized tools to aid us in our investigations. For example, we have ground-penetrating radar (GPR), to identify underlying conditions, such as locating post-tensioned, pre-tensioned, or conventional reinforcing in concrete members. And we can assist with regular monitoring of existing conditions.
