Profile:
CTLGroup has provided technical support to the legal and insurance industries in cases that range from functional failures to catastrophic structural collapse. Our work has included the investigation of damage due to terrorist attacks, structural system and component failures, and seismic and dynamic structural forces. The firm has also handled cases dealing with issues of construction material failures and durability, serviceability failures, construction delays and defects, and design professional standards of care. CTLGroup offers legal and litigation support for traditional dispute resolution, as well as assistance with alternate dispute resolution methods. We understand the legal profession's special requirements and can clearly communicate the technical issues of a case in consultation with counsel, in depositions and in court. Using computer modeling and visualization software, CTLGroup can illustrate the pertinent facts of the case and create informative exhibits and demonstrative evidence.
A CTLGroup investigation provides our legal and insurance clients with an accurate assessment of damage and an expert technical analysis of causation to be used for purposes of claims adjustment or litigation. CTLGroup offers our clients a single source for expertise on construction-related issues from our three main areas of practice: * Structural engineering and diagnostic investigations * Construction materials evaluation and testing * Structural system and component evaluation and testing.
Drawing on this diversity of experience, we provide the broadest array of investigative, forensic and failure analysis services to the legal profession and insurance industry. Our legal and litigation services also include post-disaster management support for governmental agencies, property owners and facility managers. CTLGroup has experience investigating failure or distress in all types of structures, structural components and materials including: * Buildings * Bridges * Industrial facilities and equipment * Machine components and parts * Pipelines, pressure vessels and tanks * False work, formwork, shoring and scaffolding * Tunnels and subsurface construction * Foundations and retaining structures
CTLGroup's most valuable strength is our ability to tackle each problem with a multidisciplined approach providing construction-related consulting services tailored to each unique project.
