It happens. Foundations, pavement systems, and other building components can fail to live up to expectations. Property may be damaged or worse yet, people may be injured. Third parties may claim damages due to the alleged impact of your operations or construction activities, when in fact, your operations had little or nothing to do with their perceived problem. When these situations arise, you need a trusted, competent partner to help analyze these issues and help you work through the problem.
