We're Experts at Reconstructing Events

"Our Mission is to provide conclusive, unbiased, and accurate forensic engineering and fire investigation services with the fastest turnaround time and best customer service in our industry."

Donan Engineering has been in business more than 60 years — six decades to develop top-of-the-industry expertise, and acquire unmatched experience in determining the causes of accidents and crashes, structural failures, fires and explosions, roof damages and collapse, and product and component failures. Our specialized forensic areas include:

• Engineering Investigations
• Fire & Explosion Investigations / Origin & Cause
• Roofing Investigations
• Vehicle Accident Reconstruction
• Component Testing

The Rewind Approach.

Accurately determining the cause of an accident, fire, structural or product failure can literally be of immeasurable value. We compare it to “rewinding” a scene or situation to reveal the “how and why” of the event.  Our work is scientific and objective, our answers are reliable and unbiased. What we deliver to our clients is hard evidence that satisfies the strictest demands – even those of the courtroom.

Our Success Shows.

Our success at what we do and the resulting demand for our services has been so great that our staff has grown by more than 600% since 1999, and we have expanded into 26 offices in 15 states. One reason for our success is that our team of forensic engineers is experienced in the areas of civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, industrial, environmental, geotechnical, vehicle accident reconstruction, and fire and explosions. Our Philosophy – one we believe to be just as important – is our commitment to exceptional customer service, unparalleled quality, unimpeachable integrity, timely and efficient reporting, and fair and affordable prices. Our Mission is to provide full-service, forensic engineering and the investigation support that exceeds our clients’ expectations. We will provide unbiased technical answers to our clients’ complicated questions in a timely fashion, and for a reasonable fee.

Since 1947, Donan Engineering has built a reputation based on integrity.  This is our guiding principle in the way we do business.
