Ever wondered how we tackle real-world challenges as forensic structural engineers? Our case studies give you a close look at our problem-solving process in action.
Here, we share stories from projects we’ve managed, from resolving building disputes to providing expert testimony in court cases. Get to know the experiences of homeowners, investors, and builders who faced structural challenges—and how we helped them find answers.
These aren’t just technical reports. They are engaging stories that show you:
Whether you’re dealing with a similar issue or just curious about structural engineering, these case studies provide valuable insights. You might even come across a scenario that mirrors your own.
Take a look through our collection and see how we turn structural challenges into success stories. We aim to upload the best case study each week, continually expanding our archive to provide fresh insights.
Real Projects, Practical Outcomes
Engineering Excellence Showcased
A leaky balcony leads to severe water damage, structural risks, and costly repairs. This case study highlights the importance of proper waterproofing and vigilance in construction.
A Camberwell apartment building faces severe basement water seepage issues. Inadequate waterproofing of garden areas above leads to extensive efflorescence. This case study examines causes, effects, and solutions, emphasising early detection and proper waterproofing.
A 5.9 magnitude earthquake hit Melbourne in September 2021, causing widespread concern among homeowners. This case study explores challenges in distinguishing earthquake-related damage from pre-existing issues in insurance claims.
Soil heave severely damaged a Craigieburn homeowner’s backyard spa after heavy rains. This case study shows how improper installation led to structural issues and offers practical advice for protecting backyard spas.
A Melbourne house suffered severe damage due to its foundation being built on uncontrolled fill over an undocumented sewer easement. This case study reveals the consequences of overlooking crucial site conditions and the importance of thorough pre-construction analysis.
In a newly developed Victorian suburb, incorrect soil classification led to severe structural issues in a single-storey family home. This case study explores how drought conditions and inadequate geotechnical assessment resulted in foundation problems and ongoing structural damage.
This case study presents a Melbourne house where resin injection, intended to stabilise the foundation, failed to improve structural issues and possibly worsened the situation, highlighting the limitations of this method.
