Geo-Forensic Engineering and Litigation
Project Introduction
Scott Wilson has routinely provided specialist
geotechnical services and expert advice for clients requiring
assistance in the determination of disputes, insurance claims and
legal proceedings.
Project Background
We have well qualified and skilled
geotechnical engineers who produce authoritative and rigorous
interpretations of ground conditions and soil-structure
interaction. These are often the principle means of establishing
the cause of distress or failure in engineering structures and
natural features.
Our geotechnical specialists also use their high-level capabilities
and associated wide-ranging experience for undertaking technical
audits of buildings, structures and civil engineering works in
order to identify and assess any serviceability limitations.
Project Scope
The services are provided for projects ranging
from major multi-disciplinary schemes to individual commercial and
residential developments. Intrusive and non-intrusive
investigations, singly or in combination, are carried out where
necessary in order to obtain the fullest understanding of the
problem.
Value Adding Project
Achievements
The geotechnical specialists in Scott Wilson
work with legal practices, insurance companies, loss adjusters,
funders and investment groups, national and local authorities,
contractors and consultants. This can involve attendance at
inquiries or in court, assistance with arbitration or adjudication
proceedings, representation at mediation hearings, and the
provision of advice of formal expert statements, as appropriate to
the nature and stage of the project and requirements of the
client.
