Forensic Engineering

Atlantic Consulting Engineers, LLC (ACE), is often approached by a client who has a situation that they do not know what the cause is or how to resolve. ACE is able to provide the necessary engineering expertise in this area which typically results in a Forensic Engineering Study. Whether it is a single lot issue, construction improvement issue or failure of a structure, ACE is able to investigate the problem and provide a documented report of the findings.

ACE will review all the relevant documents that are available from the client and also any agencies that may pertain to the specific issue. ACE will visit the site, photo document the findings and review the current situation with reference to the design construction documents intended.

This type of report is submitted to the client and/or attorney and serves as a starting point for discussion or arbitration. Often times there is additional work required on the part of ACE which helps to further the client’s position and provides valuable engineering analysis. The goal is to remediate the situation and provide a solution to all involved. On occasion there is additional analysis required and even, at times, expert testimony. ACE is able to provide these services.

Feasibility Studies

When a client finds that they have one or multiple properties that either are not usable as constructed, vacant or determined to be obsolete, Atlantic Consulting Engineers can help. Atlantic Consulting Engineers, LLC (ACE) has performed feasibility studies for various clients. Whether it is a financial institution that has taken back one or multiple properties or a private owner that just needs a little more analysis prior to making a decision on how to move forward, ACE can help. ACE will meet with the client, visit the site, perform full file review and background analysis of any existing approvals on the site. In addition, ACE will review current zoning and development regulations in the municipality in which the site is located, perform an initial GIS mapping of the site for various constraints, review access, sewer service and any other outside or environmental constraints that may be pertinent to the future development of the parcel. The study will summarize the findings and provide one if not multiple alternatives to development of the site. Depending on the needs of the client, a feasibility report may also include a conceptual plan.
