After the Mercedes-Benz Superdome was damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Thornton Tomasetti assessed and documented damage to the stadium’s domed roof and provided litigation support and expert witness services on behalf of the owner. We also provided structural analysis and design for repairs, as well as for additional enhancements.
Anywhere, anytime We mobilize rapidly to assess damage on-site, no matter where a claim originates. With an international network of offices, we’re local in places around the globe – with deep knowledge of local processes, manufacturing, construction and building codes. This means faster response time, targeted expertise, and all the benefits of our combined knowledge. Moving faster cuts costs that arise from a slow claims process – and helps your clients get back to business sooner.
Innovate approach, faster results We rely on top-tier technology to assess damage efficiently, even when it’s extensive. From drones to satellite imagery to our TT SmartMaps – which allows us to more efficiently manage hazard and loss data – our cutting-edge toolkit helps us minimize the time to determine the scope and value of loss, so you can serve your clients quickly and avoid added costs due to drawnout claims.

Engineering surveyors We do more than just measure losses and write reports. As engineers, architects and designers ourselves, we have the practical knowledge to fix problems. Which means that we’ll stand behind our recommendations after we evaluate conditions, giving you and your client clear, confident counsel on how to remedy issues today.
As a multidisciplinary company, we provide experienced and authoritative expert witness in an array of fields. Our design and forensic professionals deliver persuasive evidence. At Thornton Tomasetti, we know that showing is often better than telling. With state-of-the-art simulation and graphical capabilities – including 3D/4D forensic information modeling and virtual reality simulations – we create vivid, clear-cut illustrations of problems in the built environment. And unlike many other firms, our expert witnesses work as active practitioners and our practitioners serve as expert witnesses. As a result, our testimony is informed by practical field experience, and our field practice is improved by understanding issues that may arise in a legal setting.
