Precision Forensic Testing

ATS provides precision forensic testing services so clients can get the detailed, accurate data they need. We inspect structures and heavy equipment, such as automobiles and elevators, to analyze damage and identify the cause of failure. Clients request the precision and accuracy of ATS’ forensic testing services in scenarios such as the following:

  • High-stakes legal cases and criminal investigations
  • Safety inspections for buildings, vehicles, or machines
  • Determining whether to recall a mass-produced item
  • Planning and evaluating load-bearing structures
  • Dimension mapping
Forensic Engineering Investigations

Clients may turn to ATS to resolve questions about a failure or accident’s cause and origins. Clients need accurate and reliable information after a mechanical or structural disaster. ATS forensic engineers can investigate the causes and origins of fires, structural damages, equipment malfunctions, traffic accidents, and more. We frequently inspect damage caused by the following:

  • Natural disaster
  • Arson
  • Lack of maintenance
  • Improper installation
  • Poor design
  • Manufacturing defect

As part of an investigation, we may perform various types of testing in our engineering laboratory. Our experts regularly perform fact-finding investigations and tests to help clients plan a response that complies with the relevant industry standards. We can recommend whether a client should hire a contractor to repair damages or fully replace a component. In certain situations, an ATS representative may support the client with contractor bid evaluations.

Before or after repairs, clients may wish to confirm if their products or structures meet industry standards, such as:
  • National Electric Code (NEC)
  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
  • International Building Code (IBC)

ATS can also send a court-qualified expert witness to testify in a civil or criminal trial. In a legal case, the jury’s outcome may rest on their ability to understand the technical details of the case without having engineering experience. An effective expert witness from ATS can clearly and credibly explain the facts and their relevance to the trial.

About ATS

Founded in 1967, ATS has over fifty-five years of operation in the metro Atlanta area. Today, we have expanded our presence from coast to coast through a family of companies and locations in most states. Our core services include consulting engineering, calibrations, inspections, and testing for a variety of industries and customers.

We recently opened a new forensic testing laboratory near our Marietta headquarters. This state-of-the-art lab doubles our evidence storage and testing space according to the latest specifications. A2LA granted ATS accreditations in calibrations and mechanical, nondestructive, chemical, and electrical testing. We also hold NADCAP certification to perform nondestructive and materials testing.
