The Materials & Structures Team of RSK Environment Limited sits within the wider RSK Group. RSK provides independent environmental consultancy and technical services in the areas of the environment, health and safety, engineering and sustainability management to industrial, financial and public-sector clients in the UK and abroad.
RSK’s materials and structures team has been at the forefront of construction material investigations for over 30 years. During this time, we have gained unparalleled experience evaluating different types of structures, environmental exposure conditions and deterioration mechanisms over a wide range of construction materials.
Our team of consultants has extensive experience of delivering expert witness support in a range of disciplines. Our services can be tailored to offer assistance across the spectrum of project scales. We have supported legal consideration of local, site-specific cases and complex cases having both national and international significance.
Our team is also knowledgeable with regard to civil disputes that arise in the field of construction and property management, including design, site investigation, materials and structural issues and, sometimes, a combination of these aspects.
We can provide a wide range of expert witnesses to assist parties in such disputes, variously acting for claimants, defendants or, in some circumstances, for all parties on a ‘single-joint Expert’ basis.
Our services are based on compliance with the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR 35) and all our senior experts have experience of providing expert reports, participating in experts’ meetings and, ultimately, giving oral evidence in court or during arbitration, inquiries and, increasingly, mediation. Occasionally, similar skills are required for assisting the police, the Crown Prosecution Service or defendants in criminal cases.
Within the Materials & Structures Team, our areas of expertise include
Many other experts are available across the wider group. Services include (but are not limited to): Ecology and rural sciences, health and safety, land contamination and waste assessment, geotechnics and engineering, planning and environmental impact assessment (EIA) and waste management and compliance.
