Structural damage, distress, and failure caused by natural and man-made hazards, or design and construction errors result in insurance claims. Fred Webster Associates provides site inspections as an initial step in gathering necessary information to determine cause and extent of damage. If necessary, interviews of the owner, tenants, or facilities personnel will occur at this time, as well as limited dismantling of the damaged structure to reveal underlying conditions. As conditions dictate, investigations may include destructive and/or non-destructive testing and/or structural analysis. Engineering evaluation reports clearly state Scope of Investigation, Findings, Analysis Results and Conclusions. Fred Webster Associates has the structural engineering background and expertise to limit the scope of investigations to save insurance companies time and money, while providing concise and accurate engineering information for coverage determination.
