Motor Vehicle Collisions

Our technical investigations utilize leading edge research combined with the scientific knowledge and experience of industry leading engineers. With specialized attention, we apply systematic and complex methods to technically assess all contributing factors leading to the event of a collision.

Our Motor Vehicle Collision reconstruction services may encompass variety of motorized vehicles, i.e. motorcycles, passenger cars, vans, trucks, buses, articulated trucks/buses, recreational vehicles, trains, etc. The collision may also include pedestrians, bicycles, roadside barriers, trees, utility poles and so on.

The following list are examples of some issues that we commonly address in the process of Reconstructing Accidents. This list is by no means exhaustive.

Work Place and Home Accidents

Work place accidents can be categorized as incidents that occur within an industrial setting. There are a wide variety of accidents that may occur in this type of environment. Some examples include:

• Machinery failure


• Crane failure


• Pressure vessel failure


• Piping failure

There is an equally large range of accidents that can occur in residential settings. Some examples are, chair failure, falling from a height, objects falling, and many many more. One of the most unusual accident reconstructed by Intech Engineering involved a homemade zip line.

Slip and Fall

A slip occurs when an individual loses traction between his or her foot and the surface on which is being traversed. When the individual falls as a result of this loss of traction, a slip and fall incident has occurred. The slip resistance between a walking surface and an individual’s foot is dependent upon several parameters:

• The floor material and finish


• An individual’s shoe material and texture


• Environmental surface contaminants


• Pedestrian gait dynamics

If an individual encounters a slippery surface (or lower slip resistance) while making a downward step, it is likely that the introduction of the slippery surface would be unexpected. This sudden decrease in slip resistance may initiate a slip and fall accident.

Fire Investigations

• Origin of the fire


• Cause of the fire


• Fire spread dynamics
