Why KPE Personnel Excel as Investigative Engineers...
The overall services of KPE-Consulting Engineers have been utilized in various
applications and have allowed us to be of service to a wide variety of clients
with an equally wide range of project types. The development of effective design
and engineering solutions to this diversified group of project types provides a
comprehensive inventory of design experience. We use this vast inventory of
design experience to investigate and provide innovative solutions to difficult
and challenging projects and circumstance. For example, our diverse structural
engineering experience lead us to uncover the root cause and point of origin of
a collapse of a large facility under construction as shown below.
As another example, our vast mechanical engineering experience allowed us to
quickly solve a fire investigation by immediately following the burn patterns to
the dryer motor which was the obvious cause and point of origin as shown below.
Often in these types of cases, the client will ask KPE to secure the evidence
and store it in KPE’s secured storage room.
KPE’s impressive diversity of engineering experience is reflected in the
diversity of KPE’s investigative engineering cases. For example, the three (3)
cases above, which were assigned on consecutive days, included: a structural
roof failure onto a car; a dishwasher failure which flooded a house; and a
sprinkler malfunction which resulted in serious water damage to the facility. KPE’s secret to its success in serving the Insurance Claims Industry is a direct
result of its vast and diverse engineering experience. This diverse engineering
background and experience is what sets KPE’s Investigative Engineers apart from
its competition (see KPE’s traditional experience under the Projects tab to view
the types of projects KPE’s investigators have been involved in as
engineers/designers).
