Moisture & Thermal Imaging Investigation

Engineering-based assessment of concealed moisture and building envelope deficiencies Hidden moisture, thermal anomalies, and localized building envelope deficiencies are often not visible during standard inspection. These conditions can lead to deterioration, loss of performance, and long-term structural or serviceability issues if not properly identified. Loadcase provides targeted diagnostic investigations using…

Pre-Failure Assessment

Pre-Failure Assessment Pre-failure assessment focuses on identifying structural deficiencies, distress, or performance concerns before a failure or major damage occurs. These assessments support early intervention, risk mitigation, and informed decision-making. The objective is to understand existing conditions, recognize warning signs, and address issues proactively rather than reactively. Pre-failure assessments are…

Failure & Damage Evaluation

Failure & Damage Evaluation Failure and damage evaluation focuses on understanding structural damage or failure after it has occurred. This phase involves assessing the extent of damage, identifying affected structural systems, and determining immediate and longer-term implications. The objective is to establish a clear technical understanding of the condition of…

Post-Failure Remediation

Post-Failure Remediation Post-failure remediation focuses on developing engineering solutions after the cause and extent of structural damage have been identified. This phase addresses safety, performance, and long-term reliability of the structure. Remediation planning is informed by prior assessments and investigations, with the objective of resolving underlying issues rather than symptoms…

Structural Assessment

Structural Assessments We provide structural assessments of existing buildings and structures to evaluate their condition, performance, and safety. Assessments are based on site observations, review of available documentation, and engineering analysis. The objective is to identify structural deficiencies, understand their significance, and provide clear, practical recommendations. Structural assessments may be…

Failure Investigation

Failure Investigation We conduct failure investigations to determine the cause, extent, and contributing factors of structural damage or failures. Investigations focus on understanding how the structure was intended to perform, how it actually performed, and why the observed failure occurred. Our work is based on site observations, review of available…

Remedial Engineering

Remedial Engineering We provide remedial engineering services to develop practical structural solutions for deficiencies identified through assessment or investigation. Remedial engineering focuses on restoring structural performance, addressing safety concerns, and improving long-term durability. Solutions are developed with consideration of existing conditions, constructability, and applicable codes and standards. Remedial engineering may…

Forensic Reports

Forensic Reports We prepare forensic engineering reports that clearly document observed conditions, technical analysis, and engineering conclusions. Reports are prepared based on site observations, review of available information, and engineering judgment. The focus is on accuracy, clarity, and technical integrity rather than advocacy. Forensic reports may be prepared following structural…

Catastrophe Response

Catastrophe Response We provide structural engineering support following catastrophic events such as fires, impacts, extreme weather, or partial collapses. Our work focuses on rapid assessment of structural condition, identification of immediate risks, and stabilization considerations. The objective is to provide clear, technically sound input to support safety, decision-making, and next…

Diagnostic Testing

NDT & Diagnostic Testing We provide non-destructive testing (NDT) and diagnostic evaluation to support structural assessments and investigations. These methods are used to better understand existing conditions, material properties, and concealed elements without causing damage to the structure. Testing and diagnostic work is targeted, purposeful, and selected based on the…
