Our team of expert forensic scientists and consulting engineers can advise, investigate, and assist at any stage of an incident, as well as provide ongoing support and guidance for the future. Our expertise covers a vast number of specialist areas including:
Rosalind Lambert-Porter, an acoustics engineering consultant at Hawkins discusses the importance of acoustic performance within a building and where responsibility lies for poor acoustic design.
This article will focus on the installation of twin-wall flue systems and the dangers they can pose if not installed to the safety standard set out in the Building Regulations.
If the wind in a typical named storm caused direct damage to part of a permanent building, this often indicates that the building was unusually weak.
Fire and Explosions expert, Richard Heath, was invited to contribute to the Keoghs podcast, ‘The Market Affairs Podcast: Lithium Ion Battery Fires’.
Philippa reflects on some of the common themes that can lead to leaks and failures; from high integrity industrial sites to the pipework in your home airing cupboard.
Geothermal power systems rely on the use of steam/hot water generated by the heat within the Earth’s crust and as such, the working media is significantly more aggressive than conventional steam systems. This results in more issues with corrosion and scale formation which affects the availability and utilisation of the power generation asset or heat exchanger unit.
In a bid to create a more inviting place for local wildlife, forensic experts, Andy Bryce, Gerald Deshais, Paul Willis, Tim Hodson, and Natasha Moore replanted the shrubbery outside our Bristol office. The replanting project was the brainchild of Andy, who was joined by the so-called Merlin House Gardening Club, to create a more welcoming habitat for birds, bees, and other small creatures.
This insight aims to give guidance in the design and construction of open office space for acoustics and its cognitive effects.
Camilla discusses what biomass boilers are, how they work, and how they can cause fires.
