Disaster Analysis

 

A forensic engineering investigation may well take months to complete, especially if it forms part of a major court case or is the principal evidence at a government inquiry into a disaster. However, it is common for the essential features of the failure to be discovered quickly in a matter of a few days with detail being filled in over a longer period. This will be important where there is a need, for safety reasons, to ground aircraft or close similar bridges.
