TECHNORM'S Forensic Engineering EXPERTISE IN FireS and Explosions
Fires and explosions are in the top of the list of the highest material, and sometimes human, losses. When they occur, several questions must be answered in a very short period of time. Is the event an accident, the result of arson or human negligence? What is the fire’s origin? How did the fire propagate through the building?
Our investigations, based on the scientific method, determine the origin, cause and circumstances of the event and provide impartial answers to these questions in comprehensive and well-documented reports.
At Technorm, we make sure that your needs are answered in a timely, comprehensive and effective manner.

Why use Technorm's expertise to determine the origin and cause of a fire
