Halcrow's materials specialists are recognised experts in their field and are sought after by the legal profession to provide independent technical advice on a wide range of disputes involving the use of cement, concrete and associated materials. While many of our expert investigations are accepted as definitive and avoid the need for court judgements, our senior people have experience of the courtroom and cross examination, as well as accelerated dispute resolution processes such as mediation, adjudication and arbitration.
Recent projects from around the world include sports stadiums, car parks, warehouse floors, shopping centre floors, precast concrete building façades and cement burns.
Through this depth of experience, our people are regularly invited onto British Standards (BS EN) committees to help industry build better in concrete, steel and other materials. Our engineers have between them authored and presented many hundreds of technical papers at national and international conferences and maintain active links with materials departments at universities.
