Fires and explosions can be catastrophic events that result in fatalities, injuries, regulatory impacts, and property damage. Our fire and explosion team leverages expertise in chemical, electrical, and mechanical engineering to deliver comprehensive assessments for a wide range of incidents.    

ESi provides expert evaluation, damage assessment, and failure investigation for commercial and residential structures of all types. Our multidisciplinary team of structural, civil, architectural, and mechanical engineers works with building owners, property managers, legal professionals, and contractors to assess buildings for safety, code compliance, and performance issues.

ESi provides forensic engineering and technical expertise to clients across the oil & gas and broader hydrocarbon infrastructure sector, helping them understand failures, assess risk, and resolve complex technical challenges. Our multidisciplinary teams bring practical experience evaluating systems involved in production, processing, storage, and transportation of energy.

Dams and embankments play a critical role in managing water resources, controlling floods, generating power, supporting recreation, and protecting the quality of the environment. Failures of dams and embankments can lead to catastrophic consequences, including severe and sudden flooding, loss of life, community disruption, and environmental harm. As structures grow in size, storage volume, or age, so do the potential risks they pose. 

ESi combines structural engineering expertise with advanced modeling tools to assess new and existing structures under real-world conditions. We help clients identify vulnerabilities, validate design performance, and make informed decisions on repair, retrofit, or continued use. 

Slips, trips, and falls are a leading cause of pedestrian injuries. Our Slip, Trip, and Fall Services provide comprehensive investigations into the root causes of these incidents. We help clients understand the multiple factors contributing to these events, whether they be environmental hazards, human factors, or a combination of both.

Applying technical expertise and industry experience, our team systematically addresses product design and analysis to optimize product safety, performance, and compliance.
