Profile:
GEO FORENSICS, INC., a forensic geology and hydrogeology consulting firm, provides consultant oversight/review/direction, litigation support, and expert witness services. We specialize in addressing complex issues related to groundwater, soil, and rocks. Below are recent examples of client services:

* Provided technical oversight/review/direction of environmental consultants addressing insurance claims, assuring the client that the consultant's work was done properly, most efficiently, and cost-effectively
* Calculated contaminant release dates that identified one insurance carrier (among several carriers) responsible for coverage of a gasoline release
* Re-evaluated another consultant's work at a Superfund site and developed a new approach to remediation that saved $1M in cleanup cost
* Provided hydrogeological expert witness testimony for PCE, TCE and TCA releases into soil and groundwater at manufacturing facilities
* Determined that excavation soil collapse rather than operator error caused a construction death
* Showed how poor maintenance rather than frozen diesel fuel (asserted by the station owner) caused a pipeline rupture
* Analyzed "unexpected sediment" that fouled a water supply pipeline and determined that the source of the sediment was the result of contractor operations rather than faulty engineering design
* Provided evidence that a railroad company should have known a boulder would fall onto the track of a commuter line, resulting in personal injuries from the train-boulder impact
* Assisted a police agency by identifying the potential location of a cold-case homicide from soil found on the victim
