Coombs Engineering has delivered design and analysis of countless structures and we are a tremendous resource for the legal and insurance professions. We have supplied professional engineering reports and opinions to attorneys, home owners, business owners, and insurance companies for the purposes of expert testimony, legal defense, and determination of root causes for failures. Along with our proficiency in foundation design, construction, soil properties, structural steel, reinforced concrete, wood, and timber, our forensic engineering analysis and failure observation reports are accurate and credible. From design to construction, we discover the reasons for foundation failures and related structural damage.<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
Failures may occur for many reasons. The cause or causes may be natural disasters such as hurricane damage, inadequate design, poor materials, construction errors, insufficient maintenance, or any number of hidden reasons. Often, it is a combination of causes for any specific failure, and one local failure may lead to others. Coombs Engineering will examine the structure from top to bottom and determine, as precisely as possible, the root cause of a failure, whether natural disaster, accident, construction loss, or other damage.<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
Our methods of forensic engineering are thorough and systematic. We arrive on-site quickly and provide a comprehensive forensic analysis and final professional engineering evaluation with expedience. Coombs Engineering will customize our structural reports with a damage assessment to meet your requirements.<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
It is essential that the reason for failure be determined before a proper report can be prepared or a lasting repair can be made. Coombs Engineering creates a clear, concise professional engineering report and repair plan to satisfy our clients.<\/h3>\n

Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF)<\/strong><\/h2>\nInsulating (or Insulated) Concrete Form (ICF) is a system of formwork for reinforced concrete usually made with a rigid thermal insulation that stays in place as a permanent interior and exterior substrate for walls, floors, and roofs. If you\u2019re contemplating building a new custom home, you may want to consider ICF for durability, resilience and weathering storms. With the right design team, you can do anything with ICFs that you can with wood. Coombs Engineering meets all of the special design requirements necessary to create a stronger foundation to support concrete loads.<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
To build ICF correctly, you need a structural engineer and we are specialists in ICF design. Coombs Engineering has over 15 years in ICF construction and we are nationally recognized for our contributions, including winning the ICF Builder Award for Best Unlimited Residential in 2014. Open spaces, wide arches, and big windows require special attention. Your architect and home builder will give you the design and construction you need. Coombs Engineering will help you decide if ICF construction is right for you, and if so, bring it all together to over-deliver on your expectations.<\/h3>\n
