As 2022 came to a close, we ended the year strong with the addition of four new experts joining Envista. In the month of December, three new Project Engineers were brought on board in the United States and one new Project Engineer was brought on board in Australia.

Fun Fact: When you speak of any country, the first thing that strikes your mind is the bridges! That was my childhood aspiration. I always wanted to be a civil/structural engineer to build/bridge the world. My favorite part about being an engineer is helping people to satisfy their basic essentials- designing/building/testing a dwelling to live in.

Fun Fact:

Even though I’m coming into forensics from the design consulting world, I’ve been involved in a couple of interesting investigations. The most interesting one involved a structural failure of an auditorium roof (thankfully, it was empty at the time of failure). We found errors across the board from the design to the fabrication and erection of the steel roof trusses, which created a ticking clock that eventually counted down to failure.
