The forensic investigations sector commands high fee margins and is in constant demand.

Civil engineers are engaged for their specialist expertise, in this instance drainage, but will regularly tackle a range of civilengineering investigations where their knowledge can be applied, drawing upon specialist support where required.

The investigators' objective is to identify the root cause of a failure, this commences with a physical investigation and culminates in a reportrevealing the cause, the conditions that led to the failure and often where responsibility lies.
