Systematic, evidence-based site investigation — from photographic documentation through laboratory testing — to identify the root cause of accidents, failures and property damage in Singapore.
Forensic investigation applies engineering science and systematic evidence collection to answer the critical question: what caused this failure, accident or damage?
Unlike a general building inspection, a forensic investigation is designed to produce defensible, evidence-based findings that can withstand scrutiny in court, arbitration or insurance proceedings. PE Consultants combines site investigation, material sampling, laboratory testing and engineering analysis to deliver a scientifically rigorous root cause determination.
We serve clients who need to understand why something failed — and to prove it to a court, insurer or counterparty.
A rigorous, step-by-step methodology that preserves evidence integrity and produces court-ready findings.
We discuss the incident with you, review available documents and define the scope of investigation — including specific technical questions the investigation must answer.
Our engineer visits the site to undertake a systematic photographic and written record of all relevant conditions, damage patterns and physical evidence before any remediation work disturbs the scene.
Where required, we collect material samples — concrete cores, steel specimens, waterproofing membrane sections — for laboratory analysis. All samples are documented and chain-of-custody maintained.
Samples are sent to accredited laboratories for appropriate tests — compressive strength, chemical analysis, NDT, material properties — to provide objective scientific data on material condition and failure modes.
We review as-built drawings, specifications, maintenance records, inspection reports and correspondence to identify design or workmanship deviations that contributed to the failure.
Drawing together all physical evidence, test data and document review, our PE formulates the engineering opinion on root cause, contributing factors and responsibility.
A comprehensive signed report setting out the investigation methodology, findings, analysis and conclusions — ready for use in legal proceedings, insurance claims or remediation planning.
Our team has hands-on experience investigating all major categories of construction, property and industrial incidents in Singapore.
We bring specialist tools and laboratory partnerships to every investigation.
Systematic photographic documentation of accident scenes, damage patterns and physical evidence
Concrete core testing, steel specimen analysis, waterproofing membrane assessment via accredited labs
