v Forensic Engineering

Forensic engineers worth the legal and insurance industries to help identify and define the technical unknowns of accidents and failures. It is a discipline that involves analysis of the failure as well as a working knowledge of current standards. Our expert analysis can include cause of failure, evaluation of damage, and recommendations for repair, from such causes as construction defects, fires, hail, tornadoes, hurricanes, sinkholes and earthquakes. We also provide the legal expert testimony required in many such cases.

v Crane Inspections

For anyone who works with cranes, it is understandable why there is a need to meet or exceed safety standards. Crane accidents can be costly in terms of repair or replacement. Our crane knowledge is extensive and our inspectors are OSHA approved. If you're looking for someone to provide your company with comprehensive crane inspection services, Roaring Brook consultants can help. We provide inspections for general industry, overhead cranes and mobile construction cranes under OSHA Regulations 1910.180 and, 1926.550, respectively.

We can also take are of your 3rd party and annual inspections. We will inspect the integrity and accuracy of your cranes major systems and components and provide you with two copies of the report as well as an inspection sticker when the crane passes inspection. When annual inspections are required, we will notify you in advance to help enable you to keep your equipment in working condition.
