Courts from time to time rely on professional evidence from expert witnesses to facilitate decision making by the court judges.
Damwatch has the expertise (or access to the expertise) to provide expert professional evidence.
Professional advice can be provided by Damwatch's team of professional dam designers, specialising in fields of:
Geotechnics.
Geology.
Hydrology.
River hydraulics.
Environmental sciences.
Materials technology.
A peer review is a professional opinion based on sound engineering analysis and assumptions, good practice, appropriate regulations and unbiased judgement.
Peer reviews can be limited to certain key parts of the engineering work.
A peer review is intended to reveal issues rather than necessarily resolve them. But it can be a key resource for subsequent work towards resolving any issues that are identified.
