Exponent has over 40 years of experience investigating all types of structural, geotechnical, geological, geomechanical, construction, and building problems, from major catastrophes to simple performance failures. The scientific investigation of these events provides our clients with a thorough assessment of damage, as well as expert analysis of causation to be used for purposes of retrofit, repair, claims adjustment, or litigation. Furthermore, we use our experience to help clients before failures occur, to determine the vulnerability of their facilities to damage, and to develop appropriate mitigation measures
