Forensic Engineering in South Portland, ME
South Portland construction works the Presumpscot Formation, glacial-marine clay sensitive enough to lose strength when disturbed. Failure diagnosis around South Portland runs on cores, testing, and petrography, turning damage arguments into Maine records about cause. Strength testing on South Portland cores follows code evaluation thresholds, which is what ME adjusters and counsel need. Multi-state industrial clients bring us into South Portland for defined programs, and Maine requirements are settled before mobilization, not after.
- Concrete distress investigation: cracking, scaling, spalling, low strength results
- Core sampling and testing of hardened concrete per ASTM C42
- Petrographic examination of hardened concrete per ASTM C856
- Foundation and pavement performance investigations
- Documented chain of custody and photo documentation built for litigation
FAQ · South Portland
Who performs the investigation?
Field sampling, coring, and laboratory testing are performed by our certified technicians and laboratory. Engineering evaluation, opinions, and any expert testimony are performed by licensed engineers engaged for the matter, so the deliverable is sealed by the professional whose name is on it.
When should we call — before or after the lawyers?
Before. Physical evidence degrades, gets repaired, or gets demolished. Getting cores, samples, and photo documentation captured under a defensible chain of custody early is what keeps the technical record intact regardless of where the dispute goes.
Can you investigate a project you also tested?
Not without disclosure. If we performed the acceptance testing on the same project, we will say so up front — an independent investigator is usually the right call, and we will help you find one.
