Buildings

Our forensic engineers and architects approach performance issues with an in-depth investigation to determine the root cause. We believe in a sustainable approach; it is typically far better to correct and improve than it is to construct anew. Our solutions are pragmatic and designed to protect and extend the service-life of our client’s investments.

Cracking, moisture intrusion, and concrete spalling are some of many symptoms that bring our team into the field for condition assessments, non-destructive testing (NDT), and material testing.

CTLGroup is also an expert in the field of ambient vibration monitoring and investigations of noise and energy that travel through structures from the outside world. Many times, we are called on to monitor, analyze, and provide quality solutions for optimization of occupant comfort and maintenance of a safe working environment.
